问题     In 1963 an American physiotherapist 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 given 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. "(353 words)
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、were given proper stimulation in vision, listening and touching
D、ate enough medicine for their symptoms
答案C
解析 第二段提到，当专家们在发现人脑的成长是有序的之后，就开始对脑部损伤的儿童进行了视、听和触摸方面的刺激，并且不断加大刺激的频率、强度和持续时间。结果到了1960年，几百名脑部受损的孩子能够阅读，甚至有的大脑被切除一半的孩子其智商还高于正常的孩子。
