8、lyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a _16_ problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without _17_; they try to find a solution by trial and error. _18_, when all these methods _19_,

9、the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six _20_ 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 _21_ that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next t

10、he thinker must _22_ the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For instance, he must _23_ the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for _24_ that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam _25_ that his bik

11、e does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. _26_, 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 _27_ the problem, the person should have _28_ suggestions for a possible solution. Take S

12、am as an example_29_, his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones. Eventually one _30_ seems to be the solution _31_ the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes quite _32_ because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a _33_wa

13、y. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake. He _34_ hits on the solution to his problem: he must clean the brake. Finally the solution is _35_. Sam does it and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem. 16

35、rt your feelings.D. Because friendly words cause positive responses.CDr. Jack M. Gwaltney, Jr. a professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, infected six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds. A few days later, when they were coughing and sneezing, he gathered

36、 37 more people and divided them into three groups. Group 1 members spent three days and nights in the same room with one of the infected students, separated by a screen so they couldn't touch one another. Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer talked, coughed and sang to them. G

37、roup 3 held hands with an infected student for ten seconds, and then touched their own noses or eyes.Although most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virus-laden droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed, Gwaltney suspected physical conta

38、ct might play an important role. Sure enough, of the 15 people who had touched a student volunteer, 11 became infectedcompared with only one of those who had been sitting at the table, and none who had spent three days and nights together."The best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact

39、is the most efficient way of transmitting virus," says Gwaltney. The study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltney's reputation as a leading authority.Dr. Robert Couch says, "It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr. Common Cold."When Gwaltney is asked how close sci

40、entists are to finding a cure, he replies: "If you mean get rid of, I don't think we're going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon. But if you look in the dictionary, you'll see that 'cure' is explained as a successful treatment. And we're not just getti

41、ng more effective at treating the symptoms (癥狀)we're getting at the root cause too. "44. Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney conducted the experiment in order to_.A. find out the most common cause of coldsB. infect the student volunteerC. find out the role physical contact plays in the common coldsD. find
