According to psychologists, such people can be divided into roughly three categories. Those who are called “True Perfectionists” find it difficult to be satisfied with their performance on tasks, no matter how insignificant or ordinary these may be. In other words,（ 40 ）. Another type of perfectionist is called the “Socially Prescribed Perfectionist”. What distinguishes them from the first type is that perfectionists in this category are excessively concerned with how others perceive them. This means they tend to spend a lot of time（ 41 ）. It leads them to carefully monitor the reactions of others and try to create a positive impression. The third type of per fectionist can be referred to as the “Other-oriented Perfectionist”. As can be assumed from the name, these people tend to not only have high standards for themselves, but also expect others to live up to high standards. An obvious consequence of this is that（ 42 ） . This makes it difficult to build enduring interpersonal relationships. Some medical practitioners and psychologists consider that perfectionism can become a health hazard due to the extra stress that perfectionists tend to place on themselves. For instance, it has been suggested that the continual pursuit of unrealistic standards, whether for the self or others, can lead to medical conditions such as heart disease or stroke. There is also the possibility of drug and alcohol abuse and depression.（ 43 ）. For example, it has also been suggested that perfectionists are likely to be more diligent, responsible and productive than others in the workplace. Although there are certainly dangers to being a perfectionist, there are undoubtedly advantages, too. 6 40． ① they tend to give up too easily ② they are likely to be too strict on other people ③ they are not suited to difficult tasks ④ they always wish they could do better 41． ① thinking about other people’s bad points ② worrying about not meeting other people’s expectations ③ considering ways to avoid giving people a good impression ④ trying to confront other people for no apparent reason 42． ① they are constantly disappointed with others ② it is easy to become satisfied with others ③ standards become very flexible in general ④ it is relatively easy to make good friends 43． ① We need to be aware of the possible dangers of perfectionism ② However, it is important not to disregard the positive side of perfectionism ③ Perfectionism can also bring about various problems in the workplace ④ Therefore, perfectionism leads to nothing but problems all round 7 B 次の英文を読み、設問に対する答えとして最も適切なものを下記の①～④の中から １ つずつ選び なさい。 Unusual Sports What we consider normal or unusual activities is, of course, decided by the majority of a society in a particular time and culture. I first heard of the sport kabaddi from Japanese university students, as something very silly-sounding, on a par with slipper ping-pong（heard of at the same time, from the same informants）. However, kabaddi has roots going back to Ancient India and is played at the highest international levels, with a World Cup competition and a place in the Asian Games, although not yet the Olympics. Perhaps the version played by Japanese students is very simplified, since they did not seem to properly understand why they chant “kabaddi”. In the international sport, this action is done only by a player ‘raiding’ 1 the opposing team’s area to show that he is only breathing out and not inhaling 2 during that time. I have also learned of “shower climbing” while in Japan. This is climbing up rivers and waterfalls, or sometimes passing through undersea caves without diving equipment, an extreme version of orienteering. One group I spoke to even carried materials to build their own canoe en route, in order to cross a lake that lay in their path. The British are famous for doing odd things, for being eccentric, and their sports also include plenty of strange ideas. Besides now quite traditional events such as cheese-rolling, a kind of downhill race rolling a large whole cheese, the country has also invented bog snorkeling and extreme ironing. Bog snorkeling is a kind of snorkel ‘diving’, or at least, swimming in the very shallow waters of streams or marshlands 3 using only flippers, no hand strokes. Extreme ironing was apparently invented in 1997, by an Englishman called Phil Shaw, when he came home tired from work in a factor y one day and realized that he had to iron a shirt for the next day, instead of being able to relax in the garden. He took the ironing outside, and thought that men could enjoy doing this domestic chore much more if it was made more ‘interesting’ ― which actually seems to have meant making it dangerous, sometimes amazingly dangerous. The sport’s homepage on the Web, “Xtreme Ironing”, shows various scenes of men, mostly quite alone, ironing in difficult locations（part of the definition of the sport）, but most interesting perhaps is the page heading illustration, which shows three men in the middle of skydiving. You’ve guessed ― one of them is ironing while the other two hold the ironing board steady for him. It would be interesting to know what happened to the shirt and ironing equipment when the men had to open their parachutes to land safely. 1 raiding = suddenly attacking 2 inhaling = breathing in 3 marshlands = area of wetland, usually water-soaked 8 44． According to the passage, the sport kabaddi ① is very similar to slipper ping pong. ② has been played for a very long time. ③ began with Japanese university students. ④ is a serious sport, played in the Olympics. 45． Shower climbing is probably described as “an extreme form of orienteering” because ① people taking part have to be able to canoe up rivers. ② it involves using diving equipment in undersea caves. ③ it involves activities which may be life-threatening. ④ people taking part usually try to avoid needless risks. 46． According to this writer, the British are considered eccentric mainly ① because of their many traditional events, including downhill cheese rolling. ② because of their love of unusual sports, especially swimming without flippers. ③ because of their strange ideas, such as men doing the ironing after work. ④ because of their tendency to do odd things, including inventing strange sports. 47． Extreme ironing is a sport which must ① be carried out in a difficult place. ② be done while players are skydiving. ③ be carried out by more than one person. ④ be done by players on the ground. 9
