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.37.The research ofneuroscience has suggested thatA.children with extra stress are less easily to succeed.B.the injury of a child will trigger violence.C.offenders may be the victims of previous trauma.D.the adverse experience will benefit the future of children.

选项 A.children with extra stress are less easily to succeed.
B.the injury of a child will trigger violence.
C.offenders may be the victims of previous trauma.
D.the adverse experience will benefit the future of children.

答案 C

解析事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第二段，第二段最后一句说到“这些孩子在未来也极有可能是施暴者或暴力的受害者”，C项是原文的同义改写。【干扰排除】A项“有额外压力的孩子不那么容易成功”，原文中第三段提到了succeed，但这只是老师为顺利开展工作而说的，并非神经科学的研究发现，故排除；B项中的injury大多指的是皮外伤，精神上的创伤一般不用这个词来表达；D项与原文第二段倒数第二句“一个年轻人在不良的童年经历方面的分数越高，他在成年时得慢性疾病、精神疾病和过早死亡的风险就会越大”的意思相反，可见D项错误。
