 The attitudes of young women in nineteenth-century America were very different from (1) girls today. Before World War I, girls rerely mentioned their bodies in terms of ways for self-improvement or struggles for personal identity. Becoming a better person meant paying (2) attention to the self, giving more assistance to others, and putting more effort into reading or lessons at schools. When girls in the nineteenth century thought about ways to improve themselves, they almost always focused on their internal character and how it was reflected in outward beiaviors.  This difference is illustrated in the tone of personal diaries. In 1892, a teenager wrote in her personal diary: “(myself,I,to,talk,am,determined,about,not), to work seriously, and to be modest in conversation and actions.”  A century (3), American girls think very differently. In a New Year's resolution written in 1992, a girl wrote, “I will try to make myself better in any way I possibly can with the help of my babysitting money. I will lose weight, get new lenses, a new haircut, good makeup, new clothes and accessories.”  This short declaration clearly shows (A) girls feel about themselves in contemporary America. Like many adults in American society, girls today are concerned with the shape and appearance of their bodies as a primary expression of their individual identity. ・(1)アanything of イnothing of ウthat of エthose of (2)アclose イfull ウless エsteady (3)アago イearlier ウlater エolder 自分はエ、ウ、ウにしました。 ・( )内の語句整序 ・(A)にはthatを入れました。 お願いします。

<訳例>  19世紀のアメリカの若い女性の態度は、今日の若い女性の態度とは、とても違っていました。 第一次世界大戦の前には、若い女性は、自己改善や個性を求める努力の方法に関して彼らの身体にめったに言及しませんでした。 より良い人になると言うことは、あまり自分自身に注意を払わず、他の人々をより多く助け、読書や学校の授業により多くの力を注ぎ込むことを意味しました。19世紀の若い女性が自分自身を向上させる方法について考えるとき、彼女たちは、内面の人格とそれが外面の振る舞いにどの様に反映されるかに、ほとんど常に、焦点を当てていました。  この違いは、個人の日記の論調の中に示されています。1892年に、あるティーンエイジャーは彼女の個人の日記に次の様に書きました: 「私は、自分についてはあまり語らず、まじめに勉強し、会話や行動において控え目にしようと決心しています。」  1世紀後、アメリカの若い女性は、とても違う考え方をします。 1992年に書かれた新年の抱負に、ある若い女性は、次の様に書きました。「ベビーシッターで稼いだお金を使って、私は自分自身を出来る限りのあらゆる方法で良くしようと思います。 私は体重を減らして、新しいコンタクトレンズを買い、髪形を新しくして、素敵なお化粧をし、新しい服とアクセサリーを買います。」  この短い宣言は、現代のアメリカで、若い女性が自分自身についてどの様に感じているかを、はっきりと示しています。 アメリカの社会の多くの大人と同様に、今日の若い女性は、彼らの個性の主要な表現手段として、彼らの身体の形や外見を気にかけているのです。 <設問解答> (1) エ those of (2) ウ less (3) ウ later (語句整除) I am determined not to talk about myself (A) には、how が入ると思います。 ☆ girls は「若い女性」で統一して訳しました。文頭の The attitudes of young women in niniteenth-century America are very different from those of girls today. で、young women を繰り返さずに、girls と言い換えているようでしたので、girls = young women と考えてよいと思いました。 つづり字では、2行目の rerely→rarely 第1段落終りの beiaviors→behabiors ではないかと思います。
