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 2 ；they try to find a solution by trial and error. ___3 ，when all of these methods fail，the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six 4 in analysing a problem.5 the person must recognise that there is a problem. For example, Sam‟s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must6 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must 7 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 8 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to ___9 solutions. For example, suppose Sam 10 that his bike does not work because there is some thing wrong with the brakes. At this time he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 11 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.After 12 the problem, the person should have 13 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 14 ，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 15 the problem. Sometimes the __16__ idea comes quite 17 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 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.

I didn‟t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique（古董）shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth ---- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I‟ll give you twenty pounds.”“It ‟s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean？You‟ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I‟ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.”“Your must be crazy,”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”“You‟re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, …Would you mend this chair for me?‟”“I wouldn't have agreed to do it,”he said. “We don‟t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I‟ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.1.
