I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people we
26、re very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapid
27、ly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldnt see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The mans actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that wed better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didnt like my dads vo
28、ice; I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didnt have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong.

29、idly turning into a dangerous situation.We could hear the mans footsteps getting closer. Dads face was almost pale.

30、cared the intruder and he ran out of sight.

33、e the world around them, and theyre still going strong today. With 20 years in the same location, the school is “not going anywhere,” says Dave Rodenborn, a son of the schools founders. As general director, Dave has overseen many improvements, including a new playground for the preschool and a compl
34、ete modernization. The school serves families of children from 6 weeks to 6th grade. This allows them to have programs in baby care, preschool, kindergarten, and elementary(小学). The curriculum has developed over the decades, most notably in the Elementary. At first somewhat jokingly referred to as “
35、Monte-sorta,” due to its relaxed application of the Montessori Method, the schools elementary now stresses a more traditional Montess environment. Montessori associates abstract concepts with concrete sensorial(感觉的) experiences, ensuring that children are involved in learning, not just memorization.
36、 Classrooms still have a creative, casual feel, with children having freedom of choice, but in keeping with Montessori principles, they work within a framework. This helps them learn about freedom within limits, maximizing their potential. The truly international Rainbow Montessori staff comes from
37、a wide range of backgrounds, all Montessori-trained. “They are an energetic, devoted group,” says Dave. “They are loyal, caring and like what they do a lot. Id say a good 30 to 40 percent of them have been here for almost a decade or more.”Dave says that his favorite part of being at Rainbow Montess
38、ori is “making things grow”. By that, he doesnt mean it in the sense of the organic, but by “coming up with good solutions to problems as they occur.” This is reflective of Montessori beliefs, in which each child learns to use the right tools and discover solutions for themselves. Dave credits a str
39、ong staff and great parents with lots of patience for helping to make Rainbow Montessori an ideal place for children to learn and grow.

A. tries its best to prevent problems from occurringB. provides suitable learning tools for each single chil
42、dC. creates a natural environment for the growth of studentsD. encourages students to find proper ways to solve problemsCResearchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger
43、in drivers on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. T
44、his is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.“Smell, which dictates the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extre
45、mely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes (基因), which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two sc
46、ientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They
47、are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels
48、 as well as reduce drivers impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactor y genes which are switched on
49、 in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors. 63. What did Richard Axel and L
