Most educational specialists believe that early childhood education should provide children
with an awareness of their own abilities and the self-confidence in those they have. One of the
approaches recognized by many experts as promoting these qualities is the Montessori method,
first practiced by an Italian called Maria Montessori in the early 1900s. However, Nancy
McCormick Rambusch is the one credited for popularizing the method in the US, where today
there are over 400 Montessori schools.
The method helps children learn for themselves by providing them with instructional
materials and tasks that facilitate discovery and manipulation. Through such exploration,
children develop their senses and learn how to do everyday tasks without adult assistance. Other
benefits include improvement in language skills, and acquaintance with elements of science, music and art.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Technology has utterly transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each
other both literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant
messaging, blogs, and networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think.
According to a study, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated. The study reveals,
for example, that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important
personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that American have has dropped from
three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced
more sharply among those with less education, people of color, and older Americans.
Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks.
From my own experience I have to say that I’ve never felt more connected, thanks to a web of
friends, family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online
discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met face-to-face only
twice, yet our regular electronic correspondence and cell phone calls sustain our close
friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have
met otherwise and has led to enduring and important friendships.
On the other hand, I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected
we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family
therapy center. As I was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just
completed their session with their family therapist. After making their next appointment, they
both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began loud conversations with whoever was on
the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into
their SUV, and, as I saw them drive off, they were still talking on their cell phones. But, alas, not to each other.
