题目：【Reading Comprehension】

    Tom was aged four but he was talking like a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as " kick ball" and "want car" , and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn't. Something had gone terribly wrong.

    Quite a few children have what is called a "language delay". For some reason they don' t learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they' re left behind. As a result, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can' t talk back.

    Can anything be done to help these children? Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist-a person who' s specially trained to work out what ' s wrong and who knows how to teach language to children.This is w-hat happened to Tom. The speech therapist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chatted to his mom and dad about his background.They' d taken Tom to see a doctor, but the doctor hadn't found anything wrong with him.He seemed perfectly normal in every way-except he just wasn't talking.

    After Tom and his parents had gone home, the therapist listened carefully to the recording she ' d made. Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two, three, and four. She could see Tom was a long way behind.

    The next step, she decided, was to teach Tom how to say some new sentences like " kick a red ball, "and" the clown is kicking a ball. " Tom didn't get the new sentences right straight away. But the therapist was very patient, and after a few more visits he started to make some progress.

【问题】What can be inferred from the passage about "language delay" ?

A. It can be prevented by doctors. 

B. It is seldom found among children.

C. It can be improved with certain help. 

D. It may result from hearing problems.
