As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.
Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world's great thinkers and scientists, Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 year ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain, the part that controls language is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males that in females, and it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.

Many great thinkers and scientists in the world are dyslexic.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】题目中的关键词为great thinkers and scientists，我们在第2段中找到答案所在句。但是通过对比发现，原文中的限制词是one of，而题目中却是many。再仔细阅读原文发现，文中仅提到爱因斯坦和爱迪生为读写困难症的患者，并未讲述除爱因斯坦和爱迪生以外的思想家和科学家的情况，因此该题的答案为C。

The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】题目中的关键词是专有名词Europe，我们很快在第2段第5行找到答案所在句。通过对比题目和答案所在句，我们发现从recognize→discover，more than 80 years ago→less than a century ago都属于同义改写，但唯一有差别的是文中提到的两个地方：Europe和the United States在80多年前发现了读写困难症病例，但题目中仅仅提到了Europe。对于这个问题，我们可以进行如下推理：设A=Europe，B=the United States，实际上这道题就变为一道推理题：如果A+B正确，那么A是否正确?实际上很简单：A+B成立(正确)的充分必要条件是A∪B正确，即A正确或者B正确。经过这样的推理，我们知道该题的答案应为A。
