  Attention deficit(不足)hyperactivity(活动过度)disorder is known by the letters A.D.H D.Children with A.D.H.D.might have trouble paying attention.They might not seem to listen and might forget things.They might not be able to stay seated or play quietly.They might talk too much and act and speak without thinking about the results of their behavior.These are among the signs named on the web site of America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Doctors usually identify the disorder in children.But experts say the behaviors often last into adulthood.Researchers have been looking for the cause or causes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Now, a brain-imaging study offers more evidence that could lead to new ways to treat it.Researchers say they observed shortages in the brain's reward system in patients with A.D.H.D.The study found that levels of some proteins were lower than normal.Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, says the lack of attention and self –control that mark A.B.H.D. could be caused by problem in the flow of dopamine(多巴胺). She says people might have difficulty completing an activity if they cannot expect some kind of reward in return. Researchers studied the pathways on which dopamine travels and A.D.H.D. Doctor Volkow says the researchers then compared the pathways to those of 44 adults without the disorder. “There was a lower concentration of dopamine markers in the brain of individuals with A.D.H.D., specifically in the areas of the brain that are involved with reward and motivation. And the dopamine levels were directly linked to the severity, of the patient’s inattention she says.”

The study used brain images taken at Brookhaven National Laboratory in new York State. Gene-Jack Wang is chairman of the Brookdhaven medical department. He says the finding might also help explain why people with A.D.H.D.

 

are more likely to abuse drugs or overeat. He says they might be attempting to increase their dopamine levels to make up for the deficits in their reward system.

  "Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海啸),adding weight to the notion they possess a‘sixth sense’for disasters," experts said.

  Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed hundreds of thousands of people along the coast of Indian Ocean island seemingly missed the wild beasts, with no dead animals found.

  "No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit.I think animals can sense disasters.They have a sixth sense.They know when things are happening," H.D.Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said.

  The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km(2 miles)inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards."There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.But it has not been proven,"said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.

  "There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting," he said.

  Other authorities(权威)agreed with this judgment.

  "Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds.There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters," said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.

  Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物).

  The notion of an animal "sixth sense"-or some other mythical power-is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka’s battered coast is likely to add to.

  The Romans saw owls(猫头鹰)as omens of coming disasters and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred(神圣的)animals endowed with special powers.

  The tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean.It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa.

C.

before the Indian Ocean tsunami scientists had some idea of an animal "sixth sense"

D.

the Indian Ocean tsunami has offered the only proof for an animal "sixth sense"

(2)

The author quoted Clive Walker’s words to ________.

[  ]

A.

throw doubt on an animal "sixth sense"

B.

B.

Dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.
