People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 36 problem. They often accept the opinion 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 analysing. There are six 39 in analysing a problem.
40 , 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 41 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 42 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 43 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 44 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 45 solutions. For example, suppose Sam 46 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 47 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 48 the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 49 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 50 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 51 idea comes quite 52 because the thinker suddenly 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.

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 21 part of the learning process. But all too often 22 parents and teachers we disallow this same right to our children.
When I see a child 23 from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 24 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 25 answered questions--- he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 26 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all 27 her very much.
One morning, we were working on maths problems at the chalk-board. Donnie had 28 the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I 29 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 30 . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 31 . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently 32 the tear-stained(弄脏的) face from his arms. “ I’ve got something to 33 you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
“See these 34 , Donnie,” she continued. “ They belong to Mrs. Lindstorm and me. See how the erasers are 35 . That’s because we make mistakes too. But, we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 36 learn to do, too.
She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on 37 desk so you’ll remember that everyone makes mistakes, 38 teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The 39 became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 40 him that it’s all right to make mistakes--- as long as you erase them and try again.

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” youself. It should state_36_the job you want,and should tell what your abilities you are and what you have_37_. It should be simple,human,personal and brief without_38_out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in_39_that things a possible employer is most_40_to want to know about are your application, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. _41_the first few sentences fail to _42_the reader’s attention,the rest of letter may not be_43_at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer,not_44_your own needs or desires.For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your_45_in todays’s newspaper”. You might say “I have made a careful_46_of your adertising during the past six months ”or “I have made a survey in my neighbourghood to find out how many housewives_47_your product and why they like it.”
Try to_48_generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now_49_College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I_50_in a letter? Employers want esperience-which, naturally, no_51_has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is_52_.
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. _53_a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent_54_is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it_55_for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
