18、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 _37_; they try to find a solution by trial and error. _38_, when all these methods _39_, the person

19、with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six _40_ in analyzing a problem. First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams 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 thinker

20、must _42_ the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For instance, he must _43_ the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for _44_ that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam _45_ that his bike does not

21、work because there is something wrong with the brakes. _46_, 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 _47_ the problem, the person should have _48_ suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an ex

22、ample_49_, his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones. Eventually one _50_ seems to be the solution _51_ the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes quite _52_ because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a _53_way. Sam, for

23、 example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake. He _54_ hits on the solution to his problem: he must clean the brake. Finally the solution is _55_. Sam does it and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.36. A. serious

38、ciate her. BAs students across the country have their yearly flu shots (打流感疫苗), doctors across the world are preparing against a possible outbreak of bird flu that few current vaccines (疫苗) will guard against. The likelihood of a bird flu spreading among humans is very high, the World Health Organiz

39、ation warned recently. European countries worry about bird flu very much, since many migratory birds (候鳥) start to fly back from the North.There are at least 15 different types of bird flu virus around the world. The possible outbreak may be caused by a virus known as H5N1. It was first found to hav

40、e spread from a bird to a human in Hong Kong in 1997. In addition to Asia, this bird flu has been found among birds in Romania, Turkey, Russia and Kazakhstan. The outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong was quickly controlled at a cost of 18 people ill and six dead. About 1.5 million chickens were collected i

41、n an effort to remove the source of the virus. But scientists say that the virus can change itself rapidly. Also, if the virus mixes with the human flu virus, it could be spread through person-to-person contact in the same way as ordinary human flu is spread. Bird flu can cause fever, coughing, sore

42、 throats and muscle aches in humans. With the introduction of vaccines, flu is not as deadly as it used to be. But throughout history it was a huge cause of death around the world. The outbreak of Spanish flu in 1918-19 killed about 40 to 50 million people worldwide.Currently there is no vaccine aga

43、inst bird flu that can be used on humans. Scientists are working to develop one. This will probably take several months to complete and may not be ready in time to stop a widespread outbreak of the disease. 61. The author mainly tells us _ in the passage.A. people all over the world are worried abou

44、t the outbreak of bird fluB. there is a good chance of bird flu spreading to humans, which might be deadlyC. scientists are working together to develop vaccines against bird fluD. throughout history, bird flu was a huge cause of death around the world62. Which statement is NOT true?A. The outbreak o

45、f bird flu in 1997 in Hong Kong was caused by a virus known as H5N1.B. H5N1 wasn't discovered until it was found among birds in Romania and Turkey.C. The Spanish flu in 1918-19 was deadly because it was spread from person to person.D. People infected by bird flu suffer from fever, coughing, sore

46、 throats and muscle aches.63. An outbreak of dangerous bird flu is possible because _.A. the constant changing of H5N1 may enable it to mix with the human flu virusB. the symptoms (癥狀) of bird flu are just like human flu, making it hard to discoverC. there are at least 15 different types of bird flu

47、 virusD. many countries have been affected by the dangerous disease before64. According to the scientists, _.A. people needn't worry about the outbreak of bird fluB. the virus can't be spread among humansC. no vaccine against bird flu can be used on humans right nowD. many migratory birds st

48、art to fly back from the North65.

49、sible outbreak of bird fluCThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resultin

50、g effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of

51、 the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intent

52、ion of criticizing(批評) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to

53、 them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respe

54、ct. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will d

55、efend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接觸) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 66. People who are unhappy _. A. alw
