Dyslexia

As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder2 called dyslexia.

Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way .One of the world ‘s great thinkers and scientists. Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do .He said that he thought in pictures instead .The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled .The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain3-----the part that controls language is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females, and it is found more often in persons who are left handed4. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby’s body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.

参考答案:

1、A．该题提到数字的问题，所以注意文章中含有数字的句子。于是在文章第一段发现美国有多达20%的儿童患有读写困难症。问题句中的“one out of five”的意思是“每五个人中有一个”，即20%的人。

2、C．问题句说“世界上许多伟大的思想家和科学家都还有读写困难症。”。利用“伟大的思想家和科学家”作为答案线索词，在文章第2段的第3句找到答案相关句。但该句仅提到爱因斯坦和爱迪生为读写困难症患者，并未讲有许多科学家和思想家也有这种情况。

3、A．利用“the first cases”作为答案线索词，于是在第2段发现“Dyslexia was first recognized…”，该句说欧洲和美国在80多年以前首次发现读写困难症患者。

4、B。 注意含有“the left side of the brain/the right side of the brain”的句子。于是我们发现答案相关句说患读写困难症的人的右脑比左脑大。

5、A．注意文章中含有“the left handed/the right handed”的句子。于是找到答案相关句“research has showed that…”，该句说有研究表明男人比女人更易患读写困难症，惯用左手者比惯用右手者更易患读写困难症，据此我们可以推断该句子是正确的。

6、C．文章中根本就没有提到“母亲及母亲的不良习惯”，且文章说读写困难的成因尚不清楚。

7、A．利用“intelligent 和creative”，我们在文章最后一句话找到答案相关句，该句说解决了语言方面的问题之后，得过读写困难症的人往往表现出超人的智慧和创造力。
