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 why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.
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.

I was sleeping for over a week after a traffic accident. The only sounds that could be heard were coming from the machines that were36 me alive.
All my family members were 37 ways to wake me up from my silence.

My Fellow Americans,
I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).
Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would36 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a37 way.
In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer38 I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to39 public awareness(意识). We were happy that40 many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to41 to normal, healthy lives.
So now, we feel it is42 to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater43 of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are44 by it.
At the moment I feel just fine. I’d45 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have46 done. I will continue to share47 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch48 my friends and supporters.
Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 50 experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 51 it with faith and courage.
At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of52 me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home,53 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.
I now begin this54 that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright 55 ahead.
Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan

The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her university degree during the day. When she finally 16 , she had her eye on a teaching 17 at a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had 18 with the Head.
“I noticed a tiny 19in one of my stockings earlier.” she recalled. “I thought about20 them, but I knew I’d be21 if I did. And by the time I got to the interview,it was bigger. I walked in apologizing for not looking my best.” The would-be teacher didn’t 22 the job. In fact her friends told her that the Head’s only comment was, “If someone doesn’t take the time to23 her best image at an interview, what kind of24 is she going to be?”
In job-hunting, personal25 is very important. After all, you’re selling a product—26 —to an employer. When going to a job interview, always brush your hair tidily, polish your shoes and above all, 27 yourself properly. It will give you a competitive 28 and a positive first 29 . The above idea was also suggested in a best-seller for jobseekers named Dress for Success.
First impressions are 30 ones. In other words, if you’re viewed positively within the critical first four31 , the person you’ve met will32 feel everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will guess you have a lot of other33 characters. In a word, he may not take the time to give you a second 34 . Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about35 will care about their jobs.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness?
Have you read the book The Wolf Totem(狼图腾) by a famous writer Jiang Rong which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 36 the wolves’ world? If you had, you would 37 the wolves.
In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 39 full use of the shape of land to 40 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 41 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 42 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 45 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 46 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won’t 47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book The Wolf Totem, 48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 51 and he never gave in, fighting 52 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 55 in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!_
