7．For over 30years，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 20years 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 6weeks to 6^th 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"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 30to 40percent 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．

15．Before the law sits a gatekeeper．To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law．But the gatekeeper says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment．The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in sometime later on．"It is possible，"says the gatekeeper，"but not now．"The gate to the law stands open，as always，and the gatekeeper walks to the side，so the man bends over in order to see through the gate into the inside．When the gatekeeper notices that，he laughs and says："If it tempts you so much，try going inside in spite of my prohibition．But take note．I am powerful．And I am only the most lowly gatekeeper．But from room to room stand gatekeepers，each more powerful than the other．I cannot endure even one glimpse of the third．"
The man from the country has not expected such difficulties：the law should always be accessible for everyone，he thinks，but as he now looks more closely at the gatekeeper in his fur coat，at his large pointed nose and his long，thin，black Tartar's beard，he decides that it would be better to wait until he gets permission to go inside．The gatekeeper gives him a stool and allows him to sit down at the side in front of the gate．There he sits for days and years．He makes many attempts to be let in，and he wears the gatekeeper out with his requests．The gatekeeper often interrogates him briefly，questioning him about his homeland and many other things，but they are indifferent questions，the kind great men put，and at the end he always tells him once more that he cannot let him inside yet．The man，who has equipped himself with many things for his journey，spends everything，no matter how valuable，to win over the gatekeeper．The latter takes it all but，as he does so，says，"I am taking this only so that you do not think you have failed to do anything．"
During the many years the man observes the gatekeeper almost continuously．He forgets the other gatekeepers，and this first one seems to him the only barrier for entry into the law．He curses the unlucky circumstance，in the first years thoughtlessly and out loud； later，as he grows old，he only mumbles to himself．He becomes childish and，since in the long years studying the gatekeeper he has also come to know the fléas （ PZ） in his fur collar，he even asks the fleas to help him persuade the gatekeeper．Finally his eyesight grows weak，and he does not know whether things are really darker around him or whether his eyes are merely deceiving him．But he recognizes now in the darkness a ray of light which breaks out of the gateway to the law．Now he no longer has much time to live．
Before his death he gathers in his head all his experiences of the entire time up into one question which he has not yet put to the gatekeeper．He waves to him，since he can no longer lift up his stiffening body．The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him，for the great difference has changed things considerably to the disadvantage of the man．"You are insatiable （不知足的）．"^t"Everyone strives after the law，"says the man，"so how is it that in these many years no one except　me has requested entry？"The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and，in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing，he shouts at him，"Here no one else can gain entry，since this entrance was assigned only to you．I'm going now to close it．"
65．Which can best describe the man from the country？C
A．Brave but innocent．
B．Loyal but ridiculous．
C．Tolerant but stubborn．
D．Trustworthy but childish．
66．What is the implied meaning of the underlined sentences？B
A．Anyone who breaks the law will get severe punishment．
B．It's next to impossible for people to gain entry into the law．
C．The gatekeepers are powerful enough to defend the law．
D．All the gatekeepers take full responsibility for obeying the law．
67．The sentence"What do you still want to know now？"asks the gatekeeper．can be put inC
A．①B．②C．③D④
68．Which ofthe following is TRUE？B
A．The gatekeeper is actually the symbol of responsibility．
B．All efforts made by the man from the country are in vain．
C．The man from the country finally gains access into the law．
D．A close relationship is formed between the gatekeeper and the man．
69．Why is the man from the country eager to have access to the law continuously？A
A．Because he is anxious to explore the nature of law
B．Because no one can gain entry into the law except him．
C．Because the gatekeeper promises him entry into the law．
D．Because he knows how to take advantage of the gatekeeper．
70．What may be the title of the novel？A
A．Before the law
B．Above the law
C．A countryman's life
D．A gatekeeper's duty．

12．There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me："Is there anything I can do for you？"and"How's the car？"I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad （an air force officer） was never really there for him，and he's determined to provide me with the support he lacked．During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game．In fact，he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less．But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks，cheering me on，expecting greatness．
His other standard question-How's the car？-used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state．What I now realize is that"How's the car？"is not about the car．It's a father's way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing．The advantage is that if there's something wrong with the car，he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost，whereas if you're having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice，he might have to put Mom on the line．
At age thirty I finally took the plunge （跳进） into adulthood by renting a car without my dad's help or advice．I'm sure my dad was hurt rather than proud．Though a daughter's independence is evidence of a job well done，it still implies the job's done，and many fathers are reluctant to retire．Even when my dad was overworked，he'd happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help．His frequent question"Is there anything I can do for you？"underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide．It's interesting：even though we're tied by blood and I love him no matter what，he still seems to need a concrete function-suggesting stocks，finding the cheapest plane fare-to feel he has a role in my life．
