Robert Spring, a l9th century forger(伪造者) , did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs(亲笔签名 ) . Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to leam the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and write them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his

works to England and Canada for sale.

Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger can ' t go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don' t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways

to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title

page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals.

After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a re-spectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General " Stone Wall" Jackson.

For several years Miss Fanny ' s money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belong-ing to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.

68. Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada7

[A] There was a greater demand there than in America.

[ B ] There was less chance of being discovered there.

[ C] Britain was Spring ' s birthplace.

[ D] The prices were higher in England and Canada.

M: I didn't do well. I barely passed. The essay question was the worst part for me. How about you？

W: I did all right on everything except the essay question, too. I wasn't really prepared to write on that topic. I didn't think it would be on the test.

M: Me either. I thought for sure he would ask about our life on campus. Do you know how much the exam counts towards our final grade？

W: I Suppose it's thirty percent.

M: Thirty percent! Oh no, I'm in deep trouble this time! That means I'll have to get A's on everything else to get a decent grade.

W: That may not be too hard. We've already gone through most of the readings the class is supposed to cover. After next week, it will just be review. But then there is the final paper, of course.

Edward de Bone

Lateral thinking (迂回思维 ) , first described by Edward de Bone in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward&39;s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bone was so famous, Caspar&39;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&39;t very logical. So isn&39;t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think ？ "You know, " Edward de Bone says, "if you examine people&39;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 ？ 查看材料

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.

M: I did all fight on everything except the essay question, too. I wasn't really prepared to write about the election system in India. We studied the political system of India for only a few days. I didn't think it would be on the test.

W: Me either. I thought for sure he would ask us something about the arts customs in India or maybe the festivals in India. I studied most of the areas on India and didn't spend much time on the political system. Do you know how much the exam counts towards our final grade？

M: I think it's 30 percent.

W: Thirty percent! Oh no, I'm in deep trouble this time! That means I'll have to get A's on everything else to get a decent grade.
