People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a__26problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without__27 ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. __28_, when all of these methods__29 , the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six__30  in analysing a problem.

__31 the person must recognise 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__32  that there is a problem with his bicycle.

Next the person must__33 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must__34 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for__35 that will make the problem clearer and lead to__36  solutions.For example, suppose Sam__37 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. __38  , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, __39 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

After__40 the problem, the person should have__41__suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example__42 ,his suggestions might be:tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.

In the end, one__43  seems to be the solution__44 the problem. Sometimes the__45  idea comes quite__46 _because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a__47  way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake. He__48 hits on the solution to his problem:he must__49  the brake.

Finally the solution is__50  . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.In short he has solved the problem.

Dear all,

Secretary

Dear Susan,

Please forward this message to students of my history class.

Besides the life story of Bosa Parks in the textbook,the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.

Ted Hume

The early experiences of Rosa Parks (1913-2005),long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement,”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time.The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.“By sitting down,”remarked John Lewis,“she was standing up for all Americans.”

Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).

Parks died on Oct. 24,2005,At St. Paul A.M.E. Church in Montgomery,a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life.Rice said she and others,who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention,might not have realized her impact(影响) on their lives,“but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks,I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”

After her casket(灵柩) was placed at the Capitol,U.S. President Bush,members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects.In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.
