The family adopted a three-legged dog named Faith. The veterinarian advised putting her down, but the children wanted to train her to walk on her hind legs. With patience and encouragement, Faith learned to balance and walk without assistance. She inspired many people, including a woman in a wheelchair who was depressed but found new hope from Faith's example of perseverance.

1. 基礎演習（３）
Ⅰ 次の英文を読んで、以下の問いに答えなさい。
One day Reuben, my (Ａ)eldest son, came home with ア（ friend, he, a, from, puppy,
got, his ）. The dog, a female, had only three legs: two fully （Ｂ： develop ）
hind legs and a （Ｃ： deform ） left front leg. When she looked straight up into
my eyes, I イ(know) that I had to help her.
I took the dog ( ① ) an animal hospital with my children, and asked the animal
doctor for help. The doctor said that even attaching a wheelchair to the front
legs would not work, ②since ウ( it, too, turn around, difficult, would, for, be,
her, to). The doctor advised us ( ③ ) put her down. When I asked the doctor
about (Ｄ)another way to help her, she ( エ ) considered the question.
The doctor gave us ④one idea. It was to get the puppy to stand on her hind legs
and lead her ( ⑤ ) walk like a human being. There were no cases of anyone
( オ ) getting a dog to walk (Ｅ)that way. Still all my children said they
would try to train the puppy to do ⑥it. When I said it would be ( カ ) hard,
Laura, my eldest daughter, said, “I know that. We have to believe she will be
able to walk. We need to have faith.” At my daughter’s suggestion, ⑦we named
the puppy Faith to give her hope and determination.
There were a lot of difficulties, ( Ｆ ) we continued Faith’s training-with
faith-day after day, we put her on a skateboard キ(feel, she, so, movement, that,
could). We also tempted her to stand up and jump by (Ｇ： hold) a spoonful of
peanut butter in front of her so she could try to lick it. One day, I had a new
idea.
My children and I went out and put Faith in the snow ⑧by herself and ク(できるだ
け幸せに一緒に遊び始めた:8 語). I thought that she would hate to be alone and that
she might come over to the children. We played and waited.
It was a long, hard wait, ケ(彼女のためだけでなく、私たちのためでもあった:8 語).
Then, ( コ ), she looked straight at us and stood up on her hind legs. Then
she took a step towards us. It was just a small step, but it was the first step of
great faith.
After (Ｈ： train ) for several months, she learned to balance on her hind legs
and to walk ( ⑨ ) any help. She could now walk like a human being.
Faith was soon famous. She received a lot of requests to appear on local TV news
shows, and ⑩she came to have a dramatic influence on people.
Caroline, a New Yorker who was confined to a wheelchair because of diabetes, lost
the will to live. She was in despair and サ(want) to die.

2. One day, ( ⑪ ) her way to a shop, just ( ⑫ ) chance Caroline saw Faith on
the sidewalk. Faith was in New York for a TV program.
Caroline heard of Faith before and wheeled toward her. Caroline looked at Faith
and said,” Thank you for シ(come) to New York. ⑬I was in despair and no longer
wanted to live, ( Ｉ ) now I feel inspired to live my life”.
More and more people come to know that (Ｊ)Faith heals wounded hearts. Also,
(Ｋ)her many visits to hospitals and welfare facilities inspire everyone.
