People do not analyze every problem they meet.Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem.They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people.Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 , when all of these methods 3 , the person with a problem has to start analyzing.There are six 4 in analyzing a problem.
First, the person must recognize that there is a problem.For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does.Sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 6 the problem.Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work.For example, he must 7 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 8 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 9 solutions.For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.As this time he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an example 13 , his suggestions might be:tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution 15 the problem.Sometimes the final idea comes quite 16 , because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way.Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake.He 18 hits on the solution to his problem:he must 19 the brake.
Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.In short he has solved the problem.
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football.I gave the same 1 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members.I talked about 2 football wasn't just for 3 athletes and how everyone could 4 from it.This year, a 5 looking couple approached me after my speech.They said their son really wanted to play football.They had tried to 6 him out of it, but he had his heart 7 on joining the team.
When they told me his name, my heart sank.Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds.He was a 8 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 9 sports.I knew he would never 10 it through football practice, let 11 as a player.But we told them we could give it a try.
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 12 starting a one-mile jog around the track.I 13 my eye on Michael.At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet.“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 14 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on. 15 he fell, but each time 16 himself up.
The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 17 and physically.By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 18 only one game that season, 19 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 20 I was of him.
