问题    In 1963 an American physiotherapist (理疗家) Glenn Doman wrote a best-selling book called "How to Teach Your Baby to Read". Now translated into 17 languages, this book arose from his work with brain-damaged children in Pennsylvania. Doman and his team of specialists had wondered why brain-injured children didn’t improve with medical treatment. Then they realized that conventional methods of treatment only relieved the symptoms, not the problem, which of course was the brain itself. So they developed a new approach.
   "All we do for all children here is to give them visual, auditory and touchable stimulation with increased frequency, intensity and duration, in recognition of the orderly way in which the brain grows," says Doman. "The result was that by 1960 we had hundreds of severely brain-injured two olds who could read and understand." The team had discovered that even children who had half their brains removed could, by stimulation, achieve higher IQs than the average normal child.
   Then the team began to think if such amazing results could be achieved with brain damaged children, what would happen if the same treatment were to normal children. So eight years ago the Better Baby Institute was opened for the benefit of normal children. The same stimulating enriched environment was provided, and, by the time the children left, around Seven years old, they could generally speak and read three foreign languages, play a musical instrument, read three full length books a week and do all the other things that a so-called "normal" child could do.
   In Doman’s view, the child’s passion to learn during the years up to six must be fed. He believes that, like muscles, the brain develops with use, especially so in those first few years.
   Nowadays, parents come from all over the world to Pennsylvania to see and learn from the work of Doman and his team; they want to discover how they can fulfil their roles as nature teachers, by using their love, understanding and instincts for the benefit of their children. For in the words of Doman "Every child born has a greater potential intelligence than Leonardo da Vinci used".
In his research, Glenn Doman discovered that brain-damaged children improved when they______.
选项 A、were taught to read and understand.
B、could speak several languages.
C、got the right treatment.
D、got medicine for their symptoms.
答案C
解析 本题考查推理判断。文章第一段提及：常规治疗并没使脑损伤儿童得到改善。它只能减轻症状，不能解决问题。第二段提到：认识到大脑的成长，他们对脑损伤儿童进行视，听，触摸刺激，增加其刺激频率、强度、持续时间。结果到1960年几百个两岁的严重脑损儿童能够阅读和理解。研究小组还发现，大脑被切除一半的孩子，通过刺激所得智商一般高于正常儿童。故C 正确。
