Question

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 thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error．  37  , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing．There are six   38  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   39  that there is a problem with his bicycle．

Next the person must   40  the problem．Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work．For example, he must   41  the parts that are wrong．

Now the person must look for   42  that will make the problem clearer and lead to 43  solutions．For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes．  44  , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,   45  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 to the problem．Sometimes the   50 idea comes quite   51  because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a   52  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．
