People do not analyse 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 ___2___; they try to find a solution by trial and error. ___3___, when all of these methods ___4___, the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six ___5___ in analysing a problem.

___6___ 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 must ___7___ that there is a problem with his bicycle.

Next the person must ___8___ the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must ___9___ the parts that are wrong.

Now the person must look for ___10___ that will make the problem clearer and lead to ___11___ solutions. For example, suppose Sam ___12___ that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. ___13___, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, ___14___ his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

After ___15___ the problem, the person should have ___16___ suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example ___17___, his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.

In the end, one ___18___ seems to be the solution ___19___ the problem. Sometimes the ___20___ idea comes quite ___21___ because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a ___22___ way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum (口香糖) stuck to a brake. He ___23___ hits on the solution to his problem: he must ___24___ the brake.

Finally the solution is ___25___. Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   36  filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   37   that I decided to write an article about her.

I   38   Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk her career. She   39   and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday.

Dear Ms Profit,

Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50   materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51   your story soon.

Shocked, it took me a long time to   52  . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53   writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54  , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t   55   to doubt yourself.
