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 thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error． 37 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing．There are six 38 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 39 that there is a problem with his bicycle．
Next the person must 40 the problem．Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work．For example, he must 41 the parts that are wrong．
Now the person must look for 42 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 43 solutions．For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes． 44 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 45 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully．
After 46 the problem, the person should have 47 suggestions for a possible solution．Take Sam as an example 48 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones．
In the end, one 49 seems to be the solution to the problem．Sometimes the 50 idea comes quite 51 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 52 way．Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum（口香糖）stuck to a brake．He 53 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．

“It is 63 for people to try to minimize levels of stress at work and for employers to 64 people to have more control at work and to be rewarded for their success,” the foundation said in a statement.

My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game from the time they had met each other.

They took turns leaving "shmily" around the house, and as soon as one of them 32 it, it was their turn to hide it once more.
There was no 33 to the places where "shmily" would appear. Sometimes, "Shmily" was written in the 34 left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. 35 , my grandmother even unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper to 36 "shmily" on the very last sheet.
It took me a long time before I was able to fully 37 my grandparents' game. It was 38 their funny little game; it was a way of life. Grandma and Grandpa held hands every chance they could.

43 of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way 44____ she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too 45 to go outside. Then one day, what we all 46 finally happened. Grandma was gone.
"Shmily." It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother's funeral bouquet. As the crowd 47 and the last mourners (哀悼者) turned to leave, my aunts, uncles, cousins and other family members 48 and gathered around Grandma 49 . Grandpa stepped up to my grand-mother's casket and, 50 with sorrow, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby (摇篮曲).
SHMILY: See how much I love you.

The man leaned on his 39 who walked in front of him．He not only used her for 40 but it was obvious that he was blind．The two of them _41 as one—each needing the other to 42 in this fast-changing world．
That little example of true strength 43 my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day．Suddenly I wasn’t so 44 having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays．I had my 45 ，and I was still 46 young．
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严) and strength 47 me the entire week．My 48 wasn’t so bad after all．I had my health and a good job．I had a wonderful， 49 wife．I started to think—not only was I 50 to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple，who，_51 the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to 52 them through this world．
There are so many people out there just like that couple．My wife and I sometimes 53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a 54 feeling．Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders．We all should spend a little extra time and patience, 55 helping our elder friends．
