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.
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 本题问为什么卡斯帕在申请上牛津大学时成功了。根据第二段，卡斯帕如今就读于牛津大学，这曾一度被看做是不可能的事，因为他有点诵读困难。事实上，他报考牛津时，他的老师们都认为他考不上。他的父亲回忆说：“所以，我们当时上了几次思维训练课，使用了我的技巧；他参加考试时做得极为出色。”因此，本题的正确答案应是C“他在考试中应用了父亲提供的技巧”。
