英文解釈（６）

次の英文を読んで，下記の問１～問６に答えなさい。

I started to play baseball when I was eight. I was one of the best players in my team. Father often　took me to watch professional baseball games.
When I was fifteen, I said to my parents, “I want to be a professional baseball player. So I want to　go to Rocky High School.” The school was famous because its baseball team was very strong. Father　said, “No! You can’t go to Rocky High School, John.” “Why?” I asked. But Father did not answer　my question. He only said, “You just can’t! Your brother and sister went to Benjamin High School.　You should go there, too.” I said again, “Why?” Father said nothing. “Are you worrying about　money? If I become a professional, I’ll make a lot of money,” I said. Then Father said, “You know
nothing.” I could not understand him. I looked at Mother, but she said nothing. (a)I was sad. I　went to my room without saying a word.
Some days later we were eating dinner when a coach at Rocky High School called Father. Father　said to the coach, “Thank you for saying (b)so , but I don’t think it is easy.” I stopped eating an　listened to him. Mother also did so. Father said, “I know he’s a good baseball player now, but there　are a lot of people who can play baseball as well as John. I think they want to be professionals, too.　They also practice hard for their dreams. But I know that many people among them will stop doing so　because it’s hard to be a professional. If he is one of (c)them , he’ll be sad.”
I finished dinner and went to my room. When I talked about going to Rocky High School, Father　said, “No.” It wasn’t a money problem. I understood him. I thought and thought, but I could never　change my mind. Then Mother came into my room and said, “Some days ago, (d)Father said he didn、t　want you to go to Rocky High School. Do you know why he said so?” I said, “Yes, but I still want to　go...” She said, ‘Well, I really understand you. You should go to Rocky High School. Talk to your　father again.”
Father also came into my room. I didn’t know what I should say. He said, “When I was a junior　high school student, I was like you. I thought that I was a good baseball player. But later I knew a　lot of people were better than I. I didn’t think that I could be a professional. So I gave up my dream.　I felt very sad. If you don’t think you can be a professional, you’ll also have to say goodbye to your　dream. If you really want to be a professional, think about the things you should do to be a better　player and do them every day. Can you do that?” I looked at him and answered, “Yes, Father. I can
do (e)that !” Father said, I’m happy to hear that. Now I know your dream isn’t just a dream. Go to　Rocky High School, John.”
Now I practice the hardest in my team at Rocky High School. And I always have two things in my　mind ― “I can do it!” and “I’ll never give up.”
