问题 Lateral thinking(迂回思维), first described by Edward de Bone in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward’ s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bone was so famous, Caspar’s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap, "Where do you get that idea from?"
"We had to be careful and not overdo it," Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford—which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic(诵读困难). In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. "So then we did several thinking sessions," his father says, "using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well. " Soon after, Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book, Teach Your Child How to Think, in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brainstorming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.
Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children aren’t very logical. So isn’t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? "You know," Edward de Bone says, "if you examine people’s thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view. "
Teach Your Child How to Think offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.
Caspar succeeded in applying to Oxford because______.

选项 A、he was careful and often overworked
B、all of his school teachers thought he had a chance
C、he used in the exam the techniques provided by his father
D、he read the book Teach Your Child How to think before the exam

答案C

解析阅读文章第二段，当卡斯泊报考牛津大学时，他所在学校的老师没有一个人认为他有机会；他的父亲当时对他进行了好几次思维训练，用了他父亲自己的方法。可见，卡斯泊之所以成功地考上了牛津大学，是因为他用了父亲的方法。所以C项正确。A、B两项与原文意思不符，都不对。在第二段中说讲到爱德华决定写《教你的孩子如何思维》这本书是在卡斯泊考上牛津大学不久后，可见卡斯泊考试前并没有此书可看，所以D项也不对。因此，本题的正确答案为C。
