问题     Lateral thinking (横向思维)，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 the de Bono name was so famous, Caspar’s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap (不耐烦地说), "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 Bono 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 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. [br] 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 本题是一道具体细节题。问关于卡斯帕下面哪个选项是真实的。文章第一段指出，1967年，爱德华·德·博诺首次描述了“横向思维”模式，几年后他的儿子才出生。所以，人们可能想象卡斯帕会被培养为一个开拓型思维的人；但是，由于当时德·博诺的名字太为人所知了，卡斯帕的父母反而担心一旦卡斯帕在学校出言不凡，老师可能会问他：“你这种想法是从哪来的?”另外，我们可以从第二句中更明确地看出，卡斯帕的父母即指德·博诺夫妇。因此，本题的正确答案应是A“卡斯帕是爱德华的儿子”。
