问题     In 1963 an American physiotherapist (物理治疗师) 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-year-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 fulfill 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. " [br] At the Better Baby Institute, ________.
选项 A、the idea of "normal" achievement was challenged
B、children needed seven years to develop normality
C、unnatural development of normal children was achieved
D、normal children developed at an unusual standard rate
答案 A
解析 由题干中的the Better Baby Institute定位到第四段。推理判断题。该段讲到同样的方法适用于正常孩子。到孩子7岁离开时，他们一般都能说和读三种外语，弹奏一种乐器，一周读完三本完整的书，做所谓正常孩子能做的其他一切事情。很显然这一切都对“正常”的成长观念提出了挑战，所以A正确。
