      Lateral thinking (迂回思维), first described by Edward de Bono 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 de Bono name was so famous, Casper’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 Casper is at Oxford —— which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (通读困难). 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 Bono decided to write his latest book, “Teach Your Children How to Think”, in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brain-storming 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 Bono 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.  
It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Edward______.
选项 A、was likely to improve children’s logic with his book
B、gave a description of lateral thinking several years after his son was born
C、was prompted to study lateral thinking because his son was slightly dyslexic
D、once taught businessmen how to think before he wrote for parents and children
答案D
解析 由第二段可以推断出Edward：A 有可能通过他的著作改善孩子的思维逻辑；B 在他儿子出生几年以后对迂回思维进行了描述；C 因为儿子有点诵读困难才促使他研究迂回思维；D 在为孩子和家长写书之前曾教过商人如何思维。
