问题 Text 4 When Kclscy Sisavath enrolled as a freshman at Lincoln Alternative High School in Walla Walla,Washington,in the fall,her mother was struggling with drug addiction.She was angry,depressed,and suicidal.Her traumatized brain had little room to focus on school.Today,much has changed in Kelsey's life.She graduated from Lincoln this spring with a 4.0 GPA while also taking classes at a community college.She is articulate,confident,and happy.Kelsey believes Lincoln changed her life.Neuroscience tells us that the brains ofkids regularly facing significant trauma or toxic stress are wired for survival and likely to erupt at the smallest provocation.A major study ofAdverse Childhood Experiences（ACEs）by the Ccnters for Disease Control and Kaiser Permanente found that the higher a young person's ACEs score,the greater the risk in adulthood of chronic disease,mental illness,and premature death.These children also have a far greater future likelihood of either inflicting or being the victim ofviolence.Students struggling with this toxic stress are often ill-suited to learn in a traditional educational environment."Teachers like to tell students that if they work hard they will succeed-that it is in their control to pay attention,do their homework,and perform well in class.But those assumptions don't work for children growing up in high-stress environments,such as those living in poverty,"said Jim Sporleder,the former principal of Lincoln.At Lincoln,the teachers and staff follow a few deceptively simple rules:Don't take anything the student says personally and don't mirror their behavior with an outburst of your own.The teachers give students time to calm down,ofien in the principal's office or a special"quiet room".Later,they inquire about what might be bothering them and ask if they want to talk about it.Such seemingly straightforward techniques are actually based on hard science.In contrast to the fight-or-flight response triggered by perceived threats,seemingly minor acts of kindness,such as a few caring words from a teacher or a quick hug,can activate a cascade of Oxytocin,sometimes called the"love hormone".In highly traumatized kids,such simple acts can have an outsized impact.In the years immediately following Lincoln's adoption of trauma-informed practices,the school saw a fivefold increase in graduation rates,a threefold increase in students headed to college,75 percent fewer fights,and 90 percent fewer suspensions.40.Which of the following is the best title of the text?A.The Success of Lincoln High SchoolB.How to Teach Traumatized KidsC.The Impact ofAdverse Experience on ChildrenD.The Ways to Deal with Toxic Stress

选项 A.The Success of Lincoln High School
B.How to Teach Traumatized Kids
C.The Impact ofAdverse Experience on Children
D.The Ways to Deal with Toxic Stress

答案 B

解析主旨大意题。本文用林肯非传统性高中的例子展示了如何教育那些在不良的家庭环境下成长的孩子以及如何改变他们的人生。最佳答案选B项。【干扰排除】A项，文章并没有给出大世数据来证明林肯高中做出了什么样的成绩，而是把更多的重心放在教育理念和方式上，所以A项不准确；本文中有部分内容引证了一些不良经历，但C项并不是文章的重点；D项Toxic Stress（有毒害的压力）和本文提到的traumatized experience依然有区别，前者是指各种不幸的经历，使用面广泛，而后者是针对童年创伤，特指儿童时期和青少年时期的经历，所以D项也不正确。
