For over 30 years, Rainbow Montessori in Addison has given children a place to grow and explore the world around them, and they’re still going strong today. With 20 years in the same location, the school is “not going anywhere,” says Dave Rodenborn, a son of the school’s founders. As general director, Dave has overseen many improvements, including a new playground for the preschool and a complete 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. The curriculum has developed over the decades, most notably in the elementary. At first somewhat jokingly referred to as “Monte-sorta,” due to its relaxed application of the Montessori Method, the school’s 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. 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 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. I’d 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 Montessori is “making things grow”. By that, he doesn’t 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 strong staff and great parents with lots of patience for helping to make Rainbow Montessori an ideal place for children to learn and grow.

Tony Hawk, who I thought was bigger than life, came in the room and then the interview began.
As the world’s greatest skateboarder, he talked about how his life was not always so miraculous (奇迹般的). He mentioned one day he was skating on top of the world, and the next day the sport of skateboarding fell right on its face. Life for Tony has had its ups and downs, and what brought him back up was the way he believed in himself. One of the most tragic events in Tony’s life was that his father passed away. Although he suffered such pain, he never lost sight of his dream. He put his energy into his dream, which helped him overcome his sadness.
One part of Tony that completely impressed me is the way he accepts himself. His goal is never to do better than others, but to do his best. If he does the best he can, it doesn’t matter how anyone else takes him. That’s true and wise. As for me, I play baseball and things aren’t going so well, but I’m trying my hardest, that’s life. It’s how you approach those bad days that will keep you on top.
Confidence brought Tony to the next level. During our meeting he continually talked about the importance of following one’s dream. He also said, along with that, one needs to have a strong faith in one’s own ability to achieve that dream, no matter what challenges are presented.
By the end, I didn’t see the same guy who had walked through the door an hour earlier. Now I view him as more than a world-class skateboarder. He is also a normal person who has dealt with many of the same problems we all face, but the difference is, he is always able to rise above his problems by having faith in his dream.
5.The underlined part “fell right on its face” in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A. failed B. finished C. continued D. happened
6.The example of the author’s playing baseball is used to show he ______.
A. accepts Tony Hawk’s suggestion
B. doesn’t want to play baseball anymore
C. has the same view of life as Tony Hawk
D. wants to be as successful as Tony Hawk
7.In the eyes of the author, what makes Tony Hawk special
A. His achievement.
B. His unusual experience.
C. His confidence in winning the game.
D. His determination to realize his dream.
8.At the end of the interview, the author thinks Tony Hawk is very ______.
A. real B. simple C. lucky D. proud
C
Researchers 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 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. This 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 extremely 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 scientists 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 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 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 olfactory genes which are switched on 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.
9.What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out
A. The category of food smells.
B. The logical part of human brain.
C. The nature of human olfactory system.
D. The relationship between food and feelings.
10.Which of the following can help people concentrate
A. Bread. B. Fruits. C. Coffee. D. Fast food.
11.What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells.
B. Every person has a different pattern of genes.
C. Different people are sensitive to different smells.
D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.
12.What is the passage mainly about
A. Logic and behaviour. B. Smell and its influence.
C. Sense ability and food tastes. D. Olfactory genes and its system.
D
Camaraderie over Competence The importance of liking people is the subject of an article in the Harvard Business Review, which has carried out an experiment to find out who. We'd rather work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both: brilliant at their jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools and competent jerks (性情古怪的人), we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them;
What companies should therefore do is get people to like each other more. The trick here is apparently to make sure staffs come across each other as often as possible during the day. They also should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendliness and break down displeasure. However, more outdoor-activity weekends and shared coffee machines inspire no confidence at all.
The reality is that people either like each other or they don't. You can't force it. Possibly you can make offices friendlier, by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two are interrelated: we tend not to like our workmates when they are completely hopeless. I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I found her to be so outstandingly bad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up not really liking her at all. Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it
By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I think this is a pretty good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is only one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it.
Not only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.
13.According to the research, which kind of colleagues would most people tend to choose
A. Nice but unintelligent. B. Creative but unattractive.
C. Competent but unfriendly. D. Humorous but unambitious.
14.The author talks about her experience to show that ______.
A. people respect outstanding leaders
B. people tend to like optimistic workmates
C. a workmate's working ability is important
D. talkative workmates makes offices friendlier
15.Some people think that similar people working together may ______.
A. offend each other B. create fewer new ideas
C. talk more and work less D. be likely to stick together
16.To encourage workmates to like each other, companies could ______.
A. set more coffee machines in the work place
B. organize team-building activities outside the office
C. encourage a diversity of opinions in workplace
D. employ staff who have a lot in common
三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。
Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight (17) It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what’s going on in class. And it helps strengthen concepts.
(18) It’s inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you’ll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it’s best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you’re more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can — but don’t spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. (19) . But don’t pick someone whom you’ll be up all night chatting with, or you’ll never get it done!
Most people’s attention spans aren’t very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. (20)
Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack — there’s nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can’t find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. (21) . Now you’re free to hang out.
A. Homework is a major part of going to school.
B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.
C. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.
D. But if you’re really concentrating, wait until it’s a good time to stop.
E. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.
F. And no teacher still believes that “chewed by the dog” lie — even when it’s true!
G. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.
17.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
18.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
19.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
20.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
21.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

My Hero
What does it mean to be a hero I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others happy. My hero is Mr. Wright, my chorus (合唱队) teacher.
When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and losing them was the hardest thing I've ever had to (22) through.

Then one day that all changed. My friends — or those that I thought were my friends — started talking about me behind my back. I was (26) , and I sat by myself.

When I finished, he nodded and told me, "If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth (29) your joy. " What Mr. Wright said really struck a chord (心弦) in my heart.

Any time I feel like giving (31) , I remember Mr. Wright's words and push forward.
I'm proud to say that I (32) my depression, and I'm now a senior. I'm still a part of chorus, and now I'm also in the best choir at my school.
Mr. Wright is a hero (33) everyone he meets. He cares about every single person who walks through his door, and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I've known. That's (34) he deserves to be Educator of the Year. He deserves the (35) not just this year but every year.

How is everything going I’m very glad to tell you the person I admire most is my math teacher Ms. Wang.
She is the warmest person I have ever met. She is always patient with students who struggle with study, and never blames us when we fail. Instead, she always encourages us to keep trying. When I failed my important math exam last term and wanted to give up, she spent her spare time helping me sort out problems and cheered me up. Now I have made great progress in math, and I’ve learned to stick to my goals instead of giving up easily when facing difficulties.
Who is the person you admire most
Yours,
Li Hua
