A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a         , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it       from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles（弹珠）,       everywhere. I tried to use a broom,       with each swipe（猛击）they just rolled across the kitchen．
For the next week, every time I was in the      , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept          . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and       12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining       , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful       I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded       those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my           had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered（破碎）. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble             his new surroundings and the       of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．
When life gets you       , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never       , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be      , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas      , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them         you’ll start to feel whole again．
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to       , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,       will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

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.
