SECTION 1 
 
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-14, which are based on Reading 
Passage 1 below: 
Hyperactivity of Children
A. For children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), life can feel like a 
never-ending video game. They are wired 
— restless, impulsive, and easily distracted. 
Their minds are constantly bombarded with different elements of reality that compete for 
their attention. So far, the most popular treatment for ADHD has been Ritalin, a rapid-
acting stimulant for adults that has the opposite effect in children, calming the jitters 
associated with the disorder. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 
three percent of American schoolchildren take stimulants like Ritalin regularly. However, 
current research suggests a surprising new strategy for treating this disorder: video 
games linked to brain-wave biofeedback that can help kids with ADHD train their minds 
to tune in and settle down. 
B. It is difficult for a child with ADHD to learn how to self-regulate and know what it feels 
like to concentrate. Biofeedback teaches patients to control normally involuntary body 
functions such as heart rate by providing real-time monitoring of such responses. More 
than 15 monitoring of such responses. More than 15 years of studies show that with the 
aid of a computer display and an EEG sensor attached to the scalp, ADHD patients can 
learn to modulate brain waves associated with focusing. Increasing the strength of high-
frequency beta waves and decreasing the strength of low-frequency theta waves, for 
example, creates a more attentive state of mind. With enough training, changes become 
automatic and lead to improvements in grades, sociability, and organizational skills. 
C. Despite its proven success, the technique has not become a mainstream treatment 
for several good reasons. First, unlike drug therapy, which good reasons. First, unlike 
drug therapy, which can have immediate results, a typical course of biofeedback 
treatment takes a series of about 40 one-hour sessions over a span of several months 
before benefits become apparent. Second, it is more expensive than drugs. Costs range
