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 thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error． 37 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing．There are six 38 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 39 that there is a problem with his bicycle．
Next the person must 40 the problem．Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work．For example, he must 41 the parts that are wrong．
Now the person must look for 42 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 43 solutions．For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes． 44 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 45 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully．
After 46 the problem, the person should have 47 suggestions for a possible solution．Take Sam as an example 48 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones．
In the end, one 49 seems to be the solution to the problem．Sometimes the 50 idea comes quite 51 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 52 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 works perfectly．In short, he has solved the problem．

Last weekend, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 36 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 37 outside and I had no plans to 38 being in the bright sun. She 39 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids 40 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 41 , I decided to help her.
42 she asked me, “What if we 43 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 44 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 45 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a（n） 46 with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 47 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 48 to do something for others.
All that seemed49 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to50 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 51 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 52 to help clean cars. Passers-by were 53 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 54 !
I feel blessed by being 55 by such wonderful and loving souls.

After attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening．The overhead light out- side my door was burned out and I had 36 finding the keyhole．When I 37 to open the door, I38 around the wall for a light switch．I found a plate where a switch was 39 installed… but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered40 a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage 41 in the day．I found the bed in the 42 and then the lamp, but when I switched it on ,nothing 43 ! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the 44 to find another lamp．So I 45 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and …no drawstring! I finally stumbled （跌跌撞撞地） around 46 I found a desk lamp which actually 47 !
That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world 48 be and how-necessary light is! But even more necessary than 49 light is the light that shines from people—the light of 50 and faith．Because, for many people, the world is a dark and 51 place．For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in 52 of some light．So let your light shine．Whatever light you 53 may be a beacon of hope and encouragement．And if you feel that your light is 54 a candle in a forest remember there isn’t enough darkness in all the world to 55 the light of one small candle．

More Than I Had Dreamed Of
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 36 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 37 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it 38 to win a school election. I was 39 .
As I cried in my room that evening, I 40 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would 41 elections again in my final year at school—and I would win.
I recognized that my 42 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 43 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest 44 was the faith I had. I would not allow my 45 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I 46 my election plans a whole year in advance.
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 47 them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 48 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to present a great election 49 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal(校长) announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 50 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was 51 theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had 52 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people 53 the way. I had won the 54 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and 55 their day.

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points．He was41 and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my 42 . His beaming(欢笑的）face turned to shock．"You're 43 my grade?" he said angrily．"I would never have come in 44 …"
He didn't finish the 45_ , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was 46_ .He thought he'd have it all —praise and the higher grade．
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade47 because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being 48 in the future．And every time I tell this story, some people agree to this 49 ．
But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my_ 50 in grading by undermining(损害） the honesty of all my grades by failing to 51 an error．The grade itself would be a dishonest 52 of his knowledge and it would have been53 to other students．How could I 54 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know55 reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like56_ too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do．People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up 57 as much as anyone else．The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is 58
enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing．
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did 59 him from being honest in the future, but bribing（贿赂）him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have 60 him even more．The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards．
