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 and error.However, when all of these methods 38 , the person with a problem has to start analyzing.There are six 39 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 40 that there is a problem with his bicycle.

In the end, one 49 seems to be the solution 50 the problem.Sometimes the 51 idea comes quite 52 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 53 way.Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake.He immediately 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.

A

It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.

My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same.I' m so glad I did.

On the way to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.

On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn't believe it — there aren't any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.

The little baby whale —actually as big as our boat — was obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves."She's trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side," my father said.At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe -- and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.

In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

56.The author says "I' m so glad I did." ( in Para.2) because _________.

A.he witnessed the whole process of fishing

B.he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea

C.he experienced the rescue of the whales

D.he spent the weekend with his family

57.The mother whale failed to help her baby because __________.

A.she had stayed in the polluted water for too long

B.the whirlpools she had made were not big enough

C.she had no other whales around to turn to for help

D.the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction

58.What is the theme of the story?

A.Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.

B.Fishing provides excitement for children.

C.It's necessary to live in harmony with animals.

D.It's vital to protect the whale in the ocean.

B

Britons Learn to Forgive

LEEDS, England ─ A Leeds University psychology (心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.

“The hatred we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London ─ a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.

These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory.They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart.

The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.

The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hatred in these people.“People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said, “People confuse forgiveness with forgetting.Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.”

Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.

“The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with,” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.

Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past”.

59.From this passage we know that _________.

A.high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hatred

B.high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors

C.without hatred, people will have less trouble connected with blood pressure and heart

D.people who suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies

60.In Hart’s first 20-week workshop, people there can ________.

A.meet their enemies 　 B.change their attitudes towards bitterness

C.enjoy the professor’s speech D.learn how to quarrel with others

61.If you are a member in Hart’s workshop, you’ll ________.

A.pay much money to Hart B.go to the workshop every night

C.attend a gathering twice a month D.pour out everything stored in your mind

62.The author wrote this passage in order to ________.

A.persuade us to go to Hart’s workshop

B.tell us the news about Hart’s workshop

C.tell us how to run a workshop like Hart’s

D.help us to look at various kinds of angers
