  People do not analyze every problem they meet.Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a   1   problem.They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people.Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error.  2  , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing.There are six   3   in analyzing a problem.

    4   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   5   that there is a problem with his bicycle.

  Next the person must find the problem.Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know   6   it does not work.For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.

  Now the person must look for related   7   that will make the problem clearer and lead to   8   solutions.For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.  9  , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,   10   his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

  After   11   the problem, the person should have   12   suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an example   13  , his suggestions might be:tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.

  In the end, one   14   seems to be the solution to the problem.Sometimes the   15   idea comes quite   16   because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a   17   way.Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake.He   18   hits on the solution to his problem:he must   19   the brake.

  Finally the solution is   20  .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.In short he has solved the problem.

April 11, 2003 12:44 a. m. PST, Associated Press
The respiratory(呼吸系统) virus known as SARS has appeared to spread in the United States only to family members of health workers with close contact to a sick person.
On Thursday, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there might be a case of severe acute respiratory syndrome(综合症) spreading through the workplace.
Dr. Julie Gerberding said a suspected SARS virus patient who became ill after traveling to Asia might have infected a co-worker in Florida, which made her “very worried”.
So far, a dozen people—nine family members and three health workers—were infected after coming into close contact with the person with SARS. The rest of the 166 suspected American cases have something to do with people who were infected while traveling in Asia.
In the Gainesville, Fla. area, a 47-year-old woman was believed to have been infected at work by a 60-year-old woman who was the nation’s first suspected SARS case, said Tom Belcuore, director of the Alachua County health department.
Since the World Health Organization announced a worldwide warning last month about SARS, the United States has started infection control in hospitals and among families of suspected cases.
Florida officials said a school in Okaloosa County went through a cleaning after a 6-year-old boy suspected of having SARS appeared at school with slight symptoms. “Health officials are watching the boys’ contacts at school to make sure no one else is infected,” said Rob Hayes, health department spokesman, “The boy may have been infected from a family member,” Hayes said, “We immediately became aware of it and had the child sent home. He’s staying at home with his family until 10 days after symptoms disappear.”
The researchers guessed that the virus might have come from animals. However, the scientists have not ruled out the possibility that some other microbe might also help make SARS more serious or easier to catch

阅读理解。
     It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?"
"Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People."
     That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.
They are breaking away from you so that they'll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
     Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children's closeness. Of course you miss those conversations
and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a
young adult, they'll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who
they are right now they need to separate from you.
     Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing there they are and who they are with.
Let them know clearly that it's not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it's because it's
a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
     When they're home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about
your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss
a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of
your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs.
1. The underlined word "That" in Paragraph 2 probably refers to "_____".
[     ]
A. teens no longer tell parents their detailed information
B. teens don't tell parents where they had been any more
C. parents are impatient to listen to their children
D. parents are occupied by doing their business
2. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
[     ]
A. the generation gap is becoming wider and wider
B. teens quarrel a lot with their parents
C. teens don't want to live with other family members
D. some parents feel distant from their teenage children
3. The author believes that teens' one-word answers show _____.
[     ]
A. their awareness of independence
B. their physical and mental changes
C. an unpleasant parent-child relationship
D. their wishes for keeping silent
4. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
[     ]
A. Parents should understand their children.
B. parents should keep their children safe.
C. Parents should open their hearts to their children.
D. Parents should give their children enough freedom.
5. What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
[     ]
A. To give advice
B. To direct teenagers
C. To present findings
D. To comfort parents
