Some kids can sit still for long. They have a hard time paying attention to just one thing. They e easily distracted(分神).They can get very impatient. They hate standing in line or waiting for their turn in a game or activity. They get bored pretty fast. They may also be impulsive—saying the first thing that comes to mind or interrupting someone else whos talking.

For certain kids, this problem is so severe(严重) that doctors have a name for it: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Perhaps as many as 1 out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 have characteristics of ADHD. Often, these kids have trouble getting through school and face other difficulties later in life.

Rizzo started developing the Virtual Classroom in 1999.He wanted to see if he could use it as a tool for testing and treating kids who have attention disorders.

To diagnose(诊断) ADHD, doctors typically test patients by giving them tasks that require attention. As part of one classic test, you watch letters flashed on a computer screen. Every time you see the letter “A” followed by the letter “X”,you have to press the space bar. If you e paying close attention, youll register all the times this combination occurs. If not, youll miss some.

The Virtual Classroom makes these tests more efficient, Rizzo says. In one experiment, he gave a group of kids the classic “A-X” test. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a doctors office, though, the kids wore headsets that made it look like they were taking the test in a classroom.

“Basically what we found,”Rizzo says,“is that, in 20 minutes of testing with virtual reality,we replicated(复制) a finding that usually requires a couple hours of standard testing with computer screens in the psychologists office.”

解析：

【小题1】本题是主旨大意考查题。A、C、D三项只是其中的一个方面，不够全面。

【小题2】细节题。答案在“Perhaps as many as 1 out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 have characteristics of ADHD.”一句中。

【小题3】细节题。答案在“Every time you see the letter ‘A’ followed by the letter ‘X’,you have to press the space bar.”一句中。

【小题4】本题是主旨大意理解题目。选项A、B两项只是实验中的某个方面，太片面。
