by families displaying a set of hina dolls in the house and serving special delicacies that are ceremonially
beautiful and delicious.
Traditionally, parents or grandparents of a newborn girl buy a set of hina dolls for the baby, unless
they have special dolls that are inherited from generation to generation. From the end of February to
March 3, hina dolls dressed in Japanese ancient costumes are displayed on tiered platforms that are
covered with a red carpet. The costumed dolls represent the imperial court of the Heian period (A.D. 794
to 1185) and feature the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians dressed in traditional garb.
The dolls are displayed hierarchically with the emperor and empress at the top, which are set in
front of a gilded screen representing the thrown. The number of dolls and their size vary from home to
home, but five to seven platforms are common.
It is customary to put the dolls away as soon as the festival is over—there is a superstition that if
the dolls are left out, a family will have trouble marrying off their daughters. After the festival, some
people release paper dolls into the rivers praying that this will send away sickness and bad fortune.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Space may be the final frontier, but it’s an expensive one to explore. There are ample problems
with which to contend here on Earth, and that leads some people to wonder if space exploration is worth
the hassle.
Humans did not evolve to go into space, but we go there anyway. That has led to the development
of various technologies. Without space programs, we wouldn’t have GPS, accurate weather prediction,
solar cells, or ultraviolet filters in sunglasses and cameras. There’s also medical research happening in
space right now that could cure diseases and prolong human lives, and these experiments can’t be done
on Earth. Space exploration could save your life.
Speaking of saving lives, space exploration could save all our lives. Our solar system has calmed
down a lot since the early eons, but there are still uncountable big asteroids and comets out there that
could smack into the planet. It’s happened several times in the past, each one causing a mass extinction.
It’s not a matter of if another large asteroid hits Earth, but when. A robust space program is the only
hope we have of deflecting such an object.
There are currently more than 7 billion humans, which is a lot. However, we’re all crammed
together on this one planet. If something happened to Earth, our species could be wiped out. For
example, the aforementioned asteroid impact. Colonizing other bodies in the solar system is a way to
create a “backup” of humanity that will survive no matter what happens to Earth. Maybe future humans
will be Martians who will never set foot on Earth.
As we develop new technologies on Earth, the strain on our natural resources continues to
increase. The extraction of valuable minerals has led to a host of problems, including environmental
damage and human exploitation, but there’s a wealth of precious materials in space. Startups like
Planetary Resources want to mine asteroids instead of Earth, which would mean an effectively
unlimited supply of raw materials that are rare on Earth.
There are more practical reasons for space exploration, but one of the principle reasons we must
continue is that we’re explorers. That’s why humans number in the billions — from our earliest upright
steps, we’ve endeavored to learn more about the world around us, and this allowed us to build
civilization.
