scent(气味)of the sun? Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that.
The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition, If There Ever Was. It
focuses on scent rather than sight.
The creative idea is the brainchild of curator Robert Blackson.His inspiration came from reading the
book Fast Food Nation. The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as
milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they"re not actually made from them.
A smell can often call up memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the
smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won"t have been able to pick out
before.
"There"s various different smells, including some extinct flowers," explains Blackson. "Some have been
gone for hundreds of years."
One extraordinary smell is the consequence of the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August
6, 1945.
There is also the smell of Cleopatra"s hair, based on incense that was popular among ancient Egyptians.
The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charred(烧焦的)
material(the space station caught fire).
Among the strange smells is the "surface of the sun".
"It is hard to sum up. It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been
pouring in," says Blackson. "It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal. If you can say
something smells hot, this is it."
A team of 11, including perfume designers, have been working on recreating the smells for the
exhibition. James Wong, a botanist at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the
recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants.
He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones. With the help of
historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the smell.
The exhibition runs until June 6. Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display.
B. Egyptian queen Cleopatra"s hair
C. A visit to a new exhibition
D. The scents of ancient Egypt
B. the smells of charred material of the Soviet Mir space station
C. the scent of having a childhood vacation by the sea
D. the smell of the result of the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan
B. James Wong managed to remix the smell by referring to some historical reports.
C. The exhibition will last until July 6.
D. The scents visitors will smell are found in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra.
B. Education
C. Entertainment
D. Economy

Community Pool. Classes begin on Monday, May 1, and will continue throughout the summer. Fifteen
swim classes are being offered. Each class lasts ten hours. A new class starts each week of the summer.
Each class costs $20. The pool is big enough for six students per class.
Classes will increase in difficulty each week. The first week is for children up to six years old. The last week is for advanced swimmers who want to improve their race skills.
Students can sign up for as many classes as they like, but they must pass the skills level test. For
example, students who sign up for Level 4 (Stroke Readiness) must show their certificate for completing
Level 3 or must demonstrate the front crawl and backstroke. Children cannot sign up for a level they are
not ready for. Children who have never attended Community Pool classes must show up April 29 or 30
for a swim skills evaluation. Instructors will rate the students and assign them to a particular skill level.
Swim classes are fun for all. Children learn new skills and make new friends. Parents get to meet other parents in the community. Swimming, like bicycling, is a healthy and valuable skill that, once learned, is
never forgotten.
"It"s a joy to teach young children," said Ginger, the lead instructor for swimming programs. "More than half of them are terrified when we put them into the water the first time. Two months later, they"re begging
their parents to go to the pool every day."

charming at night.
