People do not
analyze every problem they meet with .Sometimes they try to remember a solution
from the last time they had a 21 problem. They often accept the opinion or
ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 22 ; they try to find a solution by
trial and error. 23 , when all of these methods fail, the
person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 24 in analyzing a problem.
25
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 26 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the
person must 27 the problem. Before Sam can repair his
bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 28 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look
for 29 that will make the problem clearer and lead
to 30 solutions. For example, suppose Sam
31 that his bike does not work because there
is something wrong with the brakes. At this time he can look in his bicycle
repair book and read about brakes,
32 his friends at the bike shop,
or look at his brakes carefully.
After 33 the problem, the person should have 34 suggestions for a possible solution. Take
Sam as an example 35 ,his suggestions might be: tighten
or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one
suggestion seems to be the solution 36 the problem. Sometimes the final idea
comes quite 37 because the thinker suddenly sees something
in a 38 way. Sam ,for example, suddenly sees
there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 39
hits on the solution to
his problem: he must clean the brake.
Finally the
solution is 40 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle
works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.
