You either have it , or you don’t –a sense of direction ,that is．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map ,while others can lose themselves in the next street?

       Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction ,but it is not property understood how it works．One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it．we lose it．

       “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around．” says Jim Mart land．Research Director of the project．“However if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car ,they never develop the skills”

       Jim Mart land also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions．

       ●If you are using a map ,turn it so it relates to the way you are facing．

       ●If you leave your bike in a strange place ,put it near something like a big stone or a tree．

Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return ,go back

along the same route

       ●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town,

streams ,or walls in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how

far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to

find out where you are．

       Now you need never get lost again!

Scientists believe that       ．

       A．some babies are born with a sense of direction

       B．people learn a sense of direction as they grow older

       C．people never lose their sense of direction

       D．everybody posses a sense of direction from birth

What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?

       A．They never have a sense of direction without maps．

       B．They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction．

       C．They have a sense of direction and can find their way around．

       D．They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car．

If you leave your bike in a strange place ,you should     ．

       A．tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen

       B．draw a map of the route to help remember where it is

       C．avoid taking the same route when you come back in it

       D．remember something easily recognizable on the route

According to the passage the best way to find your way around is to    ．
