问题     Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)is one of the most feared and misunderstood of all medical conditions. Despite over 200 scientific papers being published on this neurological condition every year, it remains stigmatized and controversial. Some doctors don’t even believe it exists.
【C1】______
    In Charlotte Fisher’s household, ADHD is rampant. Both she and her children, Jazmine(11)and James(7), have already been diagnosed with it. All three show the classic symptoms of this neurological condition—inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. The result is a household with extremes of behaviors, chaos and disorganization.
【C2】______
    People with ADHD have difficulty suppressing their impulses and therefore respond to more cues than the average person. Rather than failing to pay attention, they pay attention to everything. This means they’re often overloaded with information they cannot filter out. These people are unable to stop and think about a situation, to "apply the brakes" and consider the consequences before they act.
    In spite of the difficulties that they face, the Fishers are a happy family and proud of who they are and what they can achieve.
【C3】______
    The Fishers have not always had such a positive outlook on life. Just three years ago, before any of them were diagnosed, life was very different. James was extremely hyperactive and had violent and aggressive tendencies. Jazmine was hyperactive too. The whole situation didn’t change until the children were diagnosed.
【C4】______
    As a child Charlotte was constantly in trouble and found it difficult to fit in with her peers. She couldn’t concentrate at school and her teachers described her as unruly and out of control. She left with few qualifications and started to take drugs. But these drugs were addictive and made her ill too. They also didn’t help with the bouts of severe anxiety that she had suffered all her adult life. Until at the age of 30, she was diagnosed and treated for the condition—and able to turn her life around.
【C5】______
    Though there’s ongoing concern about the possible overuse of stimulant drugs. But with regular monitoring and support Charlotte has found that medication has provided her family with a crucial window of opportunity in which she can control her thoughts and her children can learn how to behave, build relationships and lay the foundations of a normal life.
[A]The diagnosis of her children’s ADHD brought Charlotte’s own life into focus. As she found out more about the condition, she realized that ADHD had been the problem of her whole life.
[B]Scientists believe that people with ADHD behave the way they do because they have key differences in the frontal lobes of their brains—the part that plays an important role in the way that we control our impulses.
[C]Yet it is estimated that as many as 3%—5% of the childhood population, and over one million adults in the UK are affected by ADHD. These people are often described as stupid, lazy, disorganized, wild, out of control or woozy on drugs. But the reality is altogether more complex, and deeply moving.
[D]Both Jazmine and James have impressive talents. James shows great promise at football and has recently won a place at a local football school of excellence. Jazmine has an exceptional artistic ability. She has won a number of prizes for her intricate drawings and delicate watercolor paintings.
[E]Charlotte, James and Jazmine now all take methylphenidate, a stimulant drug most commonly known by the brand name Ritalin. Methylphenidate helps to control some of the core symptoms of ADHD.
[F]Not all children with ADHD need medication and there are a number of non-pharmacological treatments that effectively help to control symptoms too such as behavior management advice for schools and parents, specialized parent skills training and family and individual therapy.
[G]Even when a child is being medicated, it is recommended that behavior management strategies are always provided in conjunction with the drugs.
【C1】
选项
答案C
解析 此项紧接上文，补述多动症的现状不容乐观。据估计，英国大约3％到5％的儿童和100万成年人均患有此症。患者受到种种歧视。人们认为他们愚蠢、懒惰，做事没条理，缺乏自制力，随时都有吸毒的可能。
