15.People do not analyze every problem they meet.Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem.They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.Other times they begin to act without thinking.They try to find a solution by trial and error.However,when all these methods fail,the person with a problem has to start analyzing.There are six stages 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 see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next,the thinker must define the problem.Before Sam can repair his bicycle,he must find out the reason why it does not work.For instance,he must determine if the problem is with the gears,the brakes,or the frame.He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions.For instance,suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels.At this time,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears.He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.He can look at his gears carefully.
After studying the problem,the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an illustration.His suggestions might be:put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem.Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way.Sam,for example,suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels.He immediately realizes the solution to his problem:he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested.Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly.In shot,he has solved the problem.

12.In front of the enormous Shibuya train station in Tokyo,there is a life-size bronze statue (雕像) of a dog.Even though the statue is very small when compared to the huge neon signs flashing,it isn't difficult to find.It has been used as a meeting point since 1934and today you will find hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive-just look for the crowds.
Hachiko,an Akita dog,was born in 1923and brought to Tokyo in 1924.His owner,Professor Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start.Each day Hachiko would accompany his owner,a professor at the Imperial University,to Shibuya train station when he left for work.When he came back,the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for him.Sadly,the professor died suddenly at work in 1925before he could return home.
Although Hachiko was still a young dog,the bond between him and his owner was very strong and he continued to wait at the station every day.Sometimes,he would stay there for days at a time,though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street vendors (商贩).He became a familiar sight to commuters over time.In 1934,a statue of him was put outside the station.In 1935,Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend alive.

6.When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon (丝带) around a bomb".Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly,she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven.Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a schoolbus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However,the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s,even in her home country.Her first onewoman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
