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

   Scientists say we’re all bom with a sense of direction,bu彳 it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is tha people with a good sense of direction have simply workec harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpoo 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 theii way around," says Jim Maryland,research director of the project. " However,if they are not allowed to go out alone or are taken everywhere by car,they never develop the skills. "

    Jim Maryland also emphasizes that young people should b"( taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions：

   If you are using a map,turn it so that it relates to the wa] you are facing.

    If you leave your bike in a strange place,put it nea: something like a big stone or a tree — something easy t ( recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away fron your bike. When you return,go back along the same route.

   Simplify (簡化) the way of finding your direction by usir^ lines such as streets in a town,streams,or wells in th ( countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you knov how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towe: blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.

   Now you will never get lost again!

   Perhaps the only test score that I remembered is 55when I was in high school.

    The test was the final for a course. I remembered waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning,and I could tell by groans that the scores weren’t looking good.

     Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There was a big red number,circled to draw attention. It was my score,55 !  I lowered my head,and covered the score up quickly. 55 was not something that you wanted your classmates to see.

   "The scores were not very good,and none of you passed,M Mr. Right said. "The highest score in the class was 55. . That's my score!

    Suddenly my sad look didn't look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better. I walked home alone that day with the low  it high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day anj asked me as soon as I got home,M How did you do in your tesff’1 ”1 macfe 55,n I said. A frown (皺眉) now stood on my father's face. II had to explain immediately. "But Dad,I had the highest ^core in the class," I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference. ” You failed!" my father replied.'But it's the highest!’ I insisted. ” I don't care what scores others had,but you failed. What matters is what you do!" my father firmly said.

    For years,my father was always that way. It didn9t matter what others did. It only mattered what I did and what I didn't do.

    We often don't understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My father's words have influenced me throughout life.
