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 fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing．There are six 3 in analyzing a problem．
4 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 find the problem．Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know 6 it does not work．For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong．
Now the person must look for related 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions．For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes． 9 , 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 to the problem．Sometimes the 15 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(
口香糖)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．
It was only in the eighteenth century that people in Europe began to think mountains were beautiful． 1 that time, mountains were 2 by the people living on the plain, 3 by the city people, to whom they were wild and 4 places in which one was easily 5 or killed by terrible animals．
Slowly, however, many of the people who were living 6 in the towns began to grow tired of 7 ．They began to feel interested in looking for things which could not be explained, for sights and sounds which produce in a feeling of fear and excitement． 8 in the 9 century, people began to turn away from the man-made 10 to untouched country, and particularly 11 places where it was dangerous and wild．High mountains began to be 12 for a holiday．
Then, mountain-climbing began to grow popular as a sport．To some people, it is something greatly 13 about getting to the． 14 of a high mountain：a struggle against nature is finer than a battle 15 other human beings．And than, when you are at the mountain top after a long and difficult 16 , what a 17 reward it is to be able to look 18 on everything within 19 !At such time, you feel happier and prouder than you can ever feel down 20 ．

He responded that it all came from an 4 with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old．He had been trying to 5 a bottle of milk from the refrigerator 6 he lost hold of the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor－a sea of 7 !
When his mother came, instead of yelling(大叫)at him or giving him a 8 , she said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you 9 to clean it up and restore 10 to its proper order．We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel, 11 a mop(拖把)．Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilt milk．
His mother then said, “Robert, what we will do is an experiment in how to 12 carry a big milk bottle with two 13 hands．Now, let’s try and 14 if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it．” The little boy 15 if he grasped the bottle at the neck with both hands, he could make 16 ．What a wonderful lesson!
