Thank you for reading my newspapers for a year ! Thanks to you, I could publish 35 newspapers this year. I deeply appreciate that you kept reading my newspapers for one year. And I am very happy to feel you are very interested in English now, as one of persons in charge of English. Our great English teacher , Ms. Suzuki, sometimes say, "To communicate each other is the most important thing for learning English." I think so, too. I think that heartwarming communication is very difficult. I must apologize to you for my rigid poor articles having no humour. I will do my best to improve my English and put on the clothes of the humour senses. I hope that my newspapers will be able to make you laugh and make your minds warm someday. |

<Why was the atomic bomb made?> （広島平和資料館の資料より） Nuclear fission was discovered in Germany in December 1938. That nuclear fission could release tremendous amounts of energy. This was the discovery of atomic energy. World War II started in September 1939. Leo Szilard and other Jewish scientists who had escaped to the U.S. from Nazi Germany feared that Germany was already developing a new weapon that would employ nuclear fission. They convinced the famous physicist Albert Einstein to sign a letter to U.S. President Roosevelt to authorize research into a new type of bomb. Roosevelt agreed and the U.S. started in October 1939 to develop an atomic bomb. The U.S. succeeded in the experiment of the atomic bomb on July 16, 1945. And the United States dropped the atomic bomb ( little boy ) on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Japan had been decided to the place on which the atomic bomb should be dropped ,since 1943, not Germany where Hitler lived. |

Social Studies <Food> What people in a group eat is part of their culture. The food culture is created by tastes and influenced by religion and customs. A group's diet is also determined by what it can grow or raise. Climate, too, influences how people build their kitchens and prepare their foods. Location determines dietary factors in many cultures. However, nowadays, because of excellent transportation and storage, canned goods are found in the homes of Arctic Inuits and frozen meals in the homes of people in desert regions. Cuisine is determined by everything from taste to climate, farming, and location, too. For example, the cuisines of Asia use rice as a main ingredient. In Italian cuisine, wheat flour noodles called pasta are common. People in other countries use bread (wheat flour products), corn and potatoes and so on, as a main food. Today, with mass communication, migration, and transportation, many cuisines are available all over the world. |

 <Xmas special ～ Let's Enjoy Christmas Story!!>THE CHRISTMAS STORY: The Birth of Jesus (paraphrased from the Bible, Matthew 2:1-11 and Luke 1:26-38 and 2:1-20) Once, long ago, an angel came to Mary and said, "You will have a baby boy, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of God."And so, when the time came, Mary and Joseph rode on a donkey to the little town of Bethlehem. There was no room for them at the inn, so Jesus was born in a barn. Mary wrapped him in a blanket, and laid him in a manger. That night, shepherds were watching their sheep in the fields. Suddenly an angel came to them and said, "I bring you news of great joy! A Savior- Christ the Lord- has been born!" The angel was joined by many other angels, singing, "Glory to God in the highest! Peace on earth, good will to men!" The shepherds said to each other, "Come! Let's go see this wonderful thing!" They ran to Bethlehem, and found the baby Jesus lying in a manger. Also that night, three wise men from the East saw a bright star. They were filled with joy! They followed the star. The star led them to the baby Jesus. The wise men fell down and worshiped him, and gave him gifts. And now, every Christmas, we too, worship Jesus, our Savior, and celebrate His birth!

Last week many student-teachers came to our school to learn how to teach. Each of them taught us various subjects for a week and we had a very good time. Our school has three opportunities a year for the training of student-teachers. Our teachers spent much busier days than usual to instruct student-teachers. | (1) Many students in many elite high schools nationalwide may not be able to g******* next March because their schools have not provided them with all c********* subjects, such as a world h******, officials said Oct.25. （高校必修科目未履修問題～ヒント：卒業する 必修 歴史） (2) The number p********** system for c******** users started Oct.24.

＜Changing Matter ＞ Matter can be changed in two ways: physically（物理的に） and chemically（化学的に). Physically changes don't involve（含む） one substance （物質）changing into another. Chemical changes occur when a substance is changed into something else. Most chemical changes involve the outer electron layers of atoms. But nuclear changes affect （影響する）the nucleus（核). Sometimes a nucleus breaks apart. This change is called nuclear fission（核分裂). In a process called nuclear fission, nuclear energy is released（放出される） by splitting atoms. Nuclear energy is locked into the nucleus of every atom. (Unknown energy are still sleeping in many atoms.) |
<The Opening of Japan> In 1853, Captain Matthew Perry of the United States came to Japan. Perry wanted a trade agreement（合意). He brought four warships（軍艦） and large force（軍事力). This strong military show both impressed and frightened the Japanese. They gave Perry the trade treaty（条約） he wanted. Japan soon signed similar trade agreements with other Western nations. Isolation（孤立・鎖国） that had lasted for 200 years was broken.  |

＜Subatomic Particles and Quarks＞ Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subatomic particles. Quarks are charged particles that make up protons and neutrons. There are six kinds, or flavors, of quarks: up, down, strange, charmed, top and bottom. And there are six lepton particles such as electron, μ(ﾐｭ-),τ(ﾀｳ), electron-neutrino, μ-neutrino, τ-neutrino, too. |
<The Opium Wars 1839-1842> Because the Chinese wouldn't trade with Western nations, the British smuggled opium from India into China. Many Chinese became addicted to the illegal drug. The Chinese government tried to stop the trade of this habit-forming drug, but their laws weren't obeyed. In 1839, Chinese troops destroyed millions of dollar's worth of British opium. This led to the Opium Wars and three years of fighting between China and England. The British won easily, and in 1842 a peace treaty was signed. The Treaty of Nanking gave the island oh Hong Kong to England and the opening of five Chinese ports to foreign trade.  |

<Cause of the Civil War in America 1861-1865> 1. Slavery: Although most Southerners didn't own slaves and most Northerners weren't abolitionists, slavery was at the heart of most major issue dividing N & S. 2. Ways of life: In both N & S, most people lived on small farms. But in N, there were several large cities where many people worked in factories. In S there were many plantations worked by slaves. 3. Free labor vs. Slave labor: The N-economy was based on free labors who could work where they chose and received a wage. The S-economy was based on slave labors who weren't free to leave and received food and lodging but no wages. 4. States' right: The N thought that no state had a right to leave the Union (連邦), or secede. The S argued that a state could leave the Union if it vote to do so. ◎More than 600000 Americans died in this war, more than in any other U.S.war.  南北戦争については→◎ |

<The Age of Napoleon 1799 ～ 1815> In 1799, at the age of 30, Napoleon Bonaparte overthrew the French government. He prepared a new constitution and became First Consul. He changed the tax system and instituted new laws, called the Napoleonic Code. This code made laws the same all over France and put an end to the special treatment of nobles. Then he began wars to gain new lands. In 1804, he changed the republic into an empire and crowned himself Emperor Napoleon 1. At the height of his power, France controlled much of Europe. But four European countries joined forces to stop him, succeeding in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo in Belgium. He was exiled to the small island until his death and could not see his gate 'the Arch of Triumph'.   (2004.3撮影)ナポレオンについてはこちらのページを→◎ |

＜Parts of an atom＞ At the center of an atom is a core called a nucleus. The nucleus is made up of particles called protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive electrical charge. Neutrons have no charge. Now scientists know that electrons don't move in regular orbits like our solar system orbit around the sun, but move around the nucleus in electron clouds. おすすめページ→◎ |
<Cause of the French Revolution> 1. The absolute control of the king and his court was an unfair system of government, which was bankrupt. 2. The rich people (church and nobles) paid few taxes, while the common people paid most of the taxes. 3. The extravagance of the rich and the misery of the poor were extreme. When the king needed even more taxes, the common people refused. 4. Due in part to France's feudal arrangements, food was scarce and bread was very high priced by the summer of 1789. 5. The National Assembly was formed to break from the king and form a new government based on a constitution. おすすめページ→◎  バスチーユ牢獄襲撃（大阪書籍『中学校社会』より） |
