A farewell party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her 36 hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew 37 , there was no 38 to feel shy. 39she had made up her mind to 40 people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its 41 — she had left so many other 42 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.
Yet this 43 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her 44. She had put on her 45 black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of 46 for one evening, but now they had 47 old Miss Hutton of all people to give the 48 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting 49 about it, for it was the first rule her 50 had given her — avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as 51 showed through the sleeve of her 52 dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor’s orders worked! For 53 out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off the end of her 54 with a cloud of tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl’s funny expression. She 55 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.

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.
