Ⅱ.阅读理解
Chihlren with a stutter (结巴) do not suffer disadvantages at school, new Australian research suggests. More than ten per cent of children have a stutter by the age of four but they score just as high as other children on tests designed to assess their language, thinking skills and temperament.
Professor Reilly’s team studied over 1,600 children from Melbourne, Australia. Their mothers had been filling out regular questionnaires since their babies were eight months old and the children were assessed by a range of language and behaviour tests when they reached the age of four.
Reilly and her colleagues asked the parents to call the study group if their children started showing signs of stuttering. Diagnoses were confirmed by a speech pathologist, who then visited the homes of children with a stutter every month to check on their progress.
By the age of four, 181 of the children studied had been diagnosed with a stutter. Follow-up visits to the 181 children who were consistently assessed after diagnoses showed just nine no longer had a stutter one year later. Stuttering children scored 5.5 points higher than that of their non-stuttering peers on language tests and 2.6 points higher on the test of non-verbal intelligence.
Parents also rated four-year-old children with and without a stutter similarly on behaviour and temperament, according to findings published in a famous journal. The researchers said it was possible that stuttering could improve language skills, or that stuttering could result from very fast language development among some children.
Dr Corrin Richels, a speech-language pathologist who has studied stuttering at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, said it was not all that surprising that children who stuttered did not tend to be worse off in other ways.
The researchers said parents of children who stutter are typically advised to wait a year before seeking treatment — which can be both time-intensive and expensive — to see if the stutter goes away by itself, unless the children become distressed or stop talking.
1. Children with a stutter at school ________.
A. are poor in their lessons
B. have normal language skills
C. work much harder than others
D. gain good marks in the exams
2. According to Reilly, parents should make a telephone to the study members when ________.
A. they wanted to turn in the questionnaires
B. their children were impolite to other people
C. they wanted to seek some practical advice
D. their children had a tendency to stutter
3. The writer shows the result of the research by ________.
A. presenting some statistics
B. offering some good examples
C. telling some interesting stories
D. performing some experiments
4. Some children may stutter probably because ________.
A. they don’t have language skills
B. their intelligence is very poor
C. their language develops very quickly
D. they don’t have any patience at all
5. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A. it costs quite a lot to treat children with a stutter
B. all the children can go back to normal at last
C. it is hard for stuttering children to speak normally
D. children with a stutter should be treated in a proper way
