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 37 ; they try to find a solution by trial and error(反复试验). 　38 , when all of these methods 39 , the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 40 in analyzing a problem.

41 ，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 42 that there is a problem with the bicycle.

Next, the person must find out 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 decides that his bicycle does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 　46 , he can look into 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 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 new or sees something in a different 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.

Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the   1  are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and  2  .The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the    3  of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain(逗乐)kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are   4  jobs in hotels and restaurants.

But it is not easy to find work,“   5  you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,”says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on    6  for students.“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak   7  .British students only have a language   8   for jobs in the USA and Australia.”

  9   enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been    10  .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was    11  home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the   12  they made, and Sarah herself was robbed on her only  13  evening of the entire trip.“I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was   14  and it really was a 24 hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

“The trouble is, students expect to have    15   time of it.”Anthea Ellis points out.“  16  ,they see it as a holiday. In practice,  17  ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual(临时)work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy.  18  ,you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that employs you. But you have    19  employment rights. As soon as the holiday season   20  ,they’ll get rid of you.”

The position of children in American family and society is no longer what is used to be. The 36 family in colonial(殖民时期的) North America was mainly concerned with survival and 37 that, its own economic prosperity. Thus, children were 38 in terms of their productivity(生产能力), and they played the role of producer quite early. 39 they fulfilled this role, their position in the family was one of subordination(附属).

With the 40 of the society, the position of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex and technological society 41 the United Stated has become, each 42 must fulfill a number of personal and occupational 43 and be in contact with many other member. 44 , viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are 45 more as people in their own right than as those of subordination. This acceplance of children as 46 participants in the family is reflected in various laws 47 the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.

This new 48 of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also 49 an increasing interest in child-raising techniques. People today spend much time 50 the proper way to 　51 children.

Nowadays, the socialization of the child in the United States is a 52 transaction(事务) between parent and child 53 a one-way, parent-to-child training 54 . As a consequence, socializing children and 55 with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.
