    People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a   21  problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without   22 ；they try to find a solution by trial and error.   23  .，when all of these methods   24  ，the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six    25  in analyzing a problem.
       26  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 see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
    Next the person must   27   the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.
    Now the person must look for   28  that will make the problem clearer and lead to  possible solutions. For example, suppose Sam   29   that his bike does not work because there is some thing wrong with the brakes(刹车).   30  , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,   31  his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
    After studying the problem, the person should have   32  suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example   33 ，his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
    In the end, one   34  seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the __35__ idea comes quite   36  because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a   37   way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum（口香糖）stuck to a brake. He   38   finds the solution to his problem ：he must___39___the brake.
    Finally the solution is tested .Sam finds that his bicycle   40  perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

    Many years ago I drove a taxi for extra money. I drove mainly from the downtown to the 16 , beside the Greenwood Racetrack which was in operation at that time.
    Each time a taxi drove up to the station, many kids would run along the   17  to the passenger door. One   18   kid would open the passenger door and say, “  19  , sir.” The passenger would always say thanks and give the kid a   20   on his way from the taxi to the entrance of the track. It was a routine that everybody knew.
    One day I noticed a boy, who was   21   than most of them but was pushed away by even the smallest kid. He never pushed back.   22  , he would even step aside when others pushed forward. But he never   23  .
    Then one morning as I was   24   to the sidewalk, all the other kids were running after a taxi   25  mine. They didn’t notice mine.
    The boy saw me and walked toward my taxi. As I pulled up I made sure that I stopped in a 26  with the passenger door right beside him. He   27  the passenger door with a flourish(夸张动作) and said, “Good luck at the track, sir.”
      28 , the man did not tip him a quarter. Instead he   29 , “Get out of my way!” He pushed him aside so   30  that the boy fell on the sidewalk and I knew he was badly hurt. I got out of my car quickly   31  find that the man disappeared in the crowd.
    So I looked for the kid. I decided to give him $20 for all his   32 . But he was far up ahead, walking out of the station   33 . The traffic policeman waved at me to get my car going.   34 , I never saw him again. I’d like to find him one day and tell him that if only he had stuck around a little longer I would have given him a whole $20.
    I learned an important lesson from the boy. When things seem so   35  that you are ready to give up, that is the time when things are most likely to turn around for you.

    In most of the time, I am devoted to my research in the lab with my friend Dave, who loves traveling very much. To make our life colorful and relax ourselves, in July, my friend and I are taking a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not cost as much as vacationing (度假) in hotels.
    We have to plan very carefully in advance. First, the car we are going to drive is very small, so we have decided to take only one small suitcase each and as few camping things as possible. We will take some medicine with us to prevent insects (昆虫) from hurting us, and also food for picnics. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we have to decide on the direction (方向) we want to drive.
    The date we are leaving is July 2, from which day we will have two months off.  We want to see and do many things on our camping tour. We want to climb in the mountains, visit famous caves, and swim in cool mountain rivers. We want to visit many cities and talk to many people, which I am sure can enrich our experience greatly. We also want to find a hotel room if it rains at night. We expect to have an exciting trip.
    小题1: The two friends are going to take a camping trip ________.

    Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for lead a different kind of life. The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
    Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
    Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
    People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.
    Doghouse provide shelter but they can be cold and lonely in the winter. Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.
    Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
    小题1:The passage tells us something about________.
    A．dogs and their lifeB．the expressions that describe dogs
    C．the meaning of expressions with the word “dog”D．the structures of dog expressions
    小题2: By saying _______, we compare people to dogs in bad ways.
    A．“meaner than a junkyard dog”B．“to work like a dog”
    C．“teach an old dog new tricks”D．“as sick as a dog”
    小题3:By saying ________, we mean every person enjoys a successful period in life.
    A．“he lives in a dog-eat-dog world”B．“he leads a dog’s life”
    C．“he is in the doghouse”D．“every dog has its day”
    小题4: If we advise the others to leave things alone and not create more problems, we say_______.
    A．“become sick as a dog”B．“rain cats and dogs”
    C．“let sleeping dogs lie”D．“stay in the doghouse”
    小题5: It has been really hot these days, as _______.
    A．it rains cats and dogsB．we are having the dog days of summer
    C．we’re leading a dog’s lifeD．we’re in the dog’s house

    There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckers. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
    Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
    Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”
    And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I’m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”
    One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”
    Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的)earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
    小题1:What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?
    A．DirtyB．Dark
    C．Worn-outD．Plain-looking.
    小题2:What was the old bucket ashamed of?
    A．His past.B．His aging.
    C．His manner.D．His leaking.
    小题3:The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to         
    A．laugh at the old one
    B．take pity on the old one
    C．show off its beautiful looks
    D．praise the gardener’s kindness
    小题4:Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
    A．Because it was used to keep a balance
    B．Because it stayed in its best condition
    C．Because it was taken as a treasure
    D．Because it had its own function

    Another food which is closely associated with Americans is apple pie．Apple pie is often served hot with a spoon of ice cream or a slice of cheese at the end of the biggest meal of the day—dinner, and it is a favorite dessert throughout the nation, if a person is typical of Americans, we can say, "He is as American as apple pie．"
    It is true that the apple and apple pie do not originate in America, but the expression "as American as apple pie" is not the product of a pure imagination．As early as 1625, the English colonists, having brought orchards （果园） on this new land and in most of the colonial times, the apple was a main material of both plain and fancy cooking．The first Massachusetts governor, William Endicott, was one of many keen apple planters who helped to lay the foundations for today' s apple-growing industry in America．
    A major attraction of the apple for the colonists was that it could be made into cider （苹果酒）. Like most Europeans, English colonists held a strong suspicion （怀疑） of drinking water, and since grapegrowing was hindered by plant peats, cider became an alternative to wine．Cheap and easy to produce, it was the American drink of first choice well into the nineteenth century． Whether it was dried, raw or cooked, the apple also found its way into numerous colonial dishes, including apple sauces, pudding, stuffings and many desserts．Therefore, the conclusion to be drawn here is obvious．The apple pie became known as American, not because it was invented on this land （since it was proved that Europeans had been eating apple pies for centuries）, but because, thanks to the huge orchards in the states of Washington and New York, America became the world's largest apple-producing nation．
    小题1:If a person is said to be as American as apple pie, it means that _______．
    A．he always prefers apple pie as a dessertB．his favourite pie is apple pie
    C．he behaves and thinks in the American way D．he is good at making American apple pie
    小题2:The apple can be used to make into all of the following except _______．
    A．wineB．saucesC．puddingD．cider
    小题3:The underlined word hindered in Paragraph 3 means．________．
    A．promotedB．preventedC．improvedD．enlarged
    小题4:It can be concluded from the passage that_______．
    A．the apple pie was first served in America
    B．the English colonists developed a taste for the apple only after they, arrived at the New World
    C．the expression "as American as apple pie" is a pure imagination
    D．the apple pie is traditionally associated with Americans due to their large apple production
