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.

Now the person must look for   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.

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 read 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 short , he has solved the problem.

In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except                 .

   A. recognize and define the problem     B. look for information to make the problem clearer

   C. have suggestions for a possible solution

   D. find a solution by trial or mistake

By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.

   A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle

   B. discuss the problems of his bicycle

   C. tell us how to solve a problem          

   D. show us how to analyze a problem

Which of the following is NOT true?

   A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.

   B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.

   C. People may learn from their past experience.

   D. People can not solve some problems they meet.

As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.

       A. in the long run               B. in detail            C. in a word          D. in the end

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution, from the last time they had a    36   problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without   37  , they try to find a solution by trial or error.   38   , when all of these methods    39  , the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six   40   in analyzing a problem.

   41   the person must recognize that this is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must    42   that there is a problem with the bicycle.

Next, the person must find the problem.  Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work.  For example, he must   43   the parts that are wrong.

Now the person must look for    44    that will make the problem clearer and lead to   45   solutions.  For example, suppose Sam decides that his bicycle does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.   46   , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

After   47   the problem, the person should have   48   suggestions for a possible solution.  Take Sam as an example    49   , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes ; buy new brakes and change old ones.

In the end, one    50    seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the   51   idea comes quite   52   because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum (口香糖) stuck to a brake. He    53    hits on the solution to his problem: he must  

  54   the brake.

Finally the solution is   55    Sam does it and finds his bicycle work perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.
