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.
What is TRUE about Caspar?
选项 A、He is Edward’s son.
B、He is an adventurous thinker.
C、He first described lateral thinking.
D、He is often scolded by his teacher.
答案A
解析 文章第一段，第一句话作者就讲到爱德华首次描述了“迂回思维”，作者还半开玩笑地说“可以想象他的儿子卡斯泊可能会被培养成一名富有冒险精神的思想家”。所以卡斯泊是爱德华的儿子，A项正确。由于是一种想象，所以B项不对。由于是爱德华首次描述了迂回思维，而不是卡斯泊，所以C不对。首段最后一句只是说到卡斯泊的父母担心他在学校讲出一些聪明的语言会遭到老师的询问，但并没有说他经常遭到老师的责骂，所以D项也不对。本题的正确答案为A。
