问题     Scientists have found a new use for children’ s imaginations—to make stomachaches go away.
    The BBC reports a new study that shows: " Children can be taught to use their imaginations to deal with stomachaches. " This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children.
    Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for.
    This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away.
    The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the "guided imagery" method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73. 3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26. 7 percent of kids who got normal treatment.
    Study leader Dr. Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’ s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

选项 A、Sometimes, doctors don’ t know why children suffer from stomachaches.
B、Children complain about their learning problems most frequently.
C、The more creative the child is, the less likely he or she is to have a stomachache.
D、30 children received normal medicines in the tests.

答案A

解析 细节理解题。选项A,定位到文中第三段最后一句“大概百分之二十的孩子胃痛的原因,大夫无法找到,”A选项正确;选项B,文章第三段首句提到“任何一个父母都明白胃疼是孩子抱怨最多的问题之一”,文中并没有提到到底什么是孩子抱怨最多的问题,B选项错误;选项C,根据第四段第二句,“研究表明,孩子越富有想象力,越善于想象病痛离开,C选项错误;选项D,根据第五段第2一4行,“30个孩子参加了测试,其中一半即15人接受引导想象疗法,一半(15人)接受普通的药物疗法”,D选项错误。所以答案为A。
