Some kids can't sit still for long. They have a hard time paying attention to just one thing. They're easily distracted(分神).They can get very impatient. They hate standing in line or waiting for their turn in a game or activity. They get bored pretty fast. They may also be impulsive—saying the first thing that comes to mind or interrupting someone else who's talking.?

For certain kids, this problem is so severe(嚴重) that doctors have a name for it: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Perhaps as many as 1 out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 have characteristics of ADHD. Often, these kids have trouble getting through school and face other difficulties later in life.?

Rizzo started developing the Virtual Classroom in 1999.He wanted to see if he could use it as a tool for testing and treating kids who have attention disorders.?

To diagnose(診斷) ADHD, doctors typically test patients by giving them tasks that require attention. As part of one classic test, you watch letters flashed on a computer screen. Every time you see the letter “A” followed by the letter “X”,you have to press the space bar. If you're paying close attention, you'll register all the times this combination occurs. If not, you'll miss some.?

The Virtual Classroom makes these tests more efficient, Rizzo says. In one experiment, he gave a group of kids the classic “A-X” test. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a doctor's office, though, the kids wore headsets that made it look like they were taking the test in a classroom.?

“Basically what we found,”Rizzo says,“is that, in 20 minutes of testing with virtual reality,?we? replicated(復制) a finding that usually requires a couple hours of standard testing with computer screens in the psychologist's office.”?

The first paragraph mainly tells us _______.?

A. how to find a patient with ADHD?

B. the behavior of some kids with ADHD?

C. kids with ADHD cannot sit still for a long time?

D. kids with ADHD are easily distracted

Perhaps as many as _______ kids have characteristics of ADHD. ?

A. one out of every twenty kids

B. five percent kids less than 18 years old?

C. one out of twenty kids at the age of 18

D. five percent kids more than age of 18

In the experiment, patients need to press the space bar, when _______.

C. see letter X and A     D. see letters A followed by X

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆河北省衡水中學高三第二次模擬考試英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

Mr. Patrick was new to the school and to us. Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didn’t look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary to me.
Some kids began to believe that he was a murderer or a ghost; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those ‘few’.
One day I gathered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.
“How are you?” I asked with my voice crackling.

He managed to say, “Fine.”
“Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.
“Hmmm…” was all I heard.
“What’s up with you?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why aren’t you like all other people in the school? Why are you always so quiet and sad? Why…”
“No dear, some things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily.

“Oh no sir, nothing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”
“With you? You are just a little girl; what will you understand?”
I was somehow offended but still I managed to persuade him, “So what, Sir? You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.”
“Oh okay, that was a very nice belief indeed; let’s take a walk and I will let you know everything.”
Soon after our little talk, there was a visible change on his face. Later that day in the class, there was a smile on his face.
【小題1】From the text, we can know about Mr. Patrick that he       .

A.once acted a character in a horror movie
B.scared his students with his looks
C.often punished the students for bad marks
D.did better in teaching than others in the school
【小題2】Mr. Patrick was thought by the author to       .

C.have suffered a lotD.have a special personality
【小題3】While walking towards Mr. Patrick in the school garden, the author felt       .
