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．However, when all of these methods   38  , the person with a problem has to start analyzing．There are six   39   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   40  that there is a problem with his bicycle．

       Next the person must  41  the problem．Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work．For example, he must   42   the parts that are wrong．

       Now the person must look for   43   that will make the problem clearer and lead to  44 ．   solutions．For example, suppose Sam   45   that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes．At this time, 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  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   50   the problem．Sometimes the  51   idea comes quite  52  because the thinker suddenly sees something new or 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．

But even more necessary than   49   light is the light that shines from people — the light of love, sympathy and   50  ．Because, for many people, the world is a dark and   51   place．

It is the shining that is important, for someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or fear and in   52  of some light．

So let your light shine．Whatever light you  53  may be a beacon（灯塔）of hope and encouragement in someone’s darkness．And if you feel that your light is   54   a candle in a forest, remember this — there isn’t enough darkness in the world to   55   the light of one small candle．

    The total continent of Antarctica, from its mountains to the seas full of blue whales, emperor penguins and leopard seals, is, by means of international agreement, classified as a nature preserve. The Antarctic Treaty took effect in 1998, and doesn’t allow mining and oil drilling for at least fifty years anywhere within the boundaries of Antarctica. The treaty places a strong emphasis on the protection of the natural environment but not development. All wildlife threats including dogs and chemicals used for killing pests are also banned.

    The agreement has been set by some countries to keep Antarctica free of commercialism and industrial development. This agreement was signed in 1991 by the 26 leading nations with scientific interest in the land. Some of the nations in the agreement are the United States, Russia, China, India, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, and most of the primary European nations.

    The rules made by this treaty ended over 15 years of lobbying（游说）by environmental groups and put a stop to diplomatic(外交的）talks. In addition to preventing all oil drilling and mining, the 35 scientific outposts(前哨站） on Antarctica are required to remove all rubbish and clean up all places where unwanted waste is left. It keeps scientific stations from discharging untreated waste water into the surrounding waters.

     Sled dogs were what explorers like Norway’s Roald Amundsen used to reach the South Pole in 1911. Dogs, however, were banned because they are a recent danger to the penguins and other native birds.

    With laws enforced(实施）in 26 nations, each nation will be responsible for enforcing the rules individually. If the country’s government refuses to become involved when its citizens disobey the rules, the other nations would apply pressure to solve the issue. There are many people who see this treaty as an environmental success story.

55. The Antarctic Treaty was signed to ________.

A. attract more tourists to Antarctica

B. protect the environment of Antarctica

C. forbid diplomatic talks between countries

D. promote scientific research on Antarctica

56. Dogs are forbidden on Antarctica because they________ .

A. may pollute the surrounding environment

B. are a threat to the birds there

C. are of little use there

D. may face a great threat

57. We can infer from the text that________.

A. environmental groups are satisfied with the Antarctic Treaty

B. it is difficult to enforce the treaty

C. there are no natural resources on Antarctica

D. tourism is not allowed on Antarctica

58. Which of the following is TRUE about the Antarctic Treaty?

A. Some countries have broken the rules of it.

B. It was signed in 1998.

C. It’s effective in protecting the environment of Antarctica.

D. It fails to achieve its original purpose.
