3 次の文章を読んで、あとの問１から問５までの問いに答えなさい。

　Now we live in a convenient world thanks to technology, especially communication tools.
If we use our telephone, we can easily talk with a friend who (　Ａ　) far away,
and even see the face through our cell phone or computer.
Such tools are so useful that it is very difficult for us to imagine our life without them.

　Cell phones and computers, however, also have bad points.
For example, they do not work well when a disaster happens.
We cannot contact our family if a big earthquake hits Japan and destroys the electricity networks.
Our society may depend on [　①　] .
We need to do something for that situation.

　A young boy in Japan is trying to change the situation with his unique project.
He has come up with an idea of using homing pigeons.
The birds were once used as a popular communication tool all over the world.
②He【 using / useful / thinks / will / the birds again / be】.
Our communication networks may be much stronger with his project.

　For thousands of years, people have used many kinds of communication tools,
such as drums, smoke, lights, letters, and so on.
They have developed the tools to send their messages faster and further.
Homing pigeons were one of those tools.
The birds have a strong habit to fly back to their home from any place.
People used this habit and built a network of homing pigeons to send messages fast.
In the early twentieth century, newspaper companies had pigeon houses on their buildings,
and the birds played an important role for sending messages.
In 1923, when a big earthquake hit Tokyo, journalists brought pigeons outside their office, interviewed people,
and wrote articles about the disaster.
Then they put the articles into a small case which was attached to the bird’s leg.
After that, the bird was set free and flew back to the office with the articles.

　The Japanese boy’s idea of building the pigeon network may sound strange or impossible,
but his ambitious challenge won the prize of the government’s project.
Maybe in the near future his idea will become reality, and we will have a better communication network.
Why don’t you follow his example?
The future of communication may be in your hands.
Be ambitious, boys and girls.
