Serious Business

　　Let me take you 　　1　　 a couple of years．Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and 　　2　　 me yet．

　　We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware store．No automatic door, not a computer in the building．It was one that I went to fairly often．As we entered the door, two sounds 　　3　　 us．The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door．The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our 　　4　　．

　　"Good afternoon, Ryan," 　　5　　 the cheerful greeting．Andy was a very 　　6　　 sort of owner．He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us．

　　We walked across the old wood floor．Andy asked us what he could help us with．I told him we were 　　7　　 a spring．He very patiently replied, "I have lots of springs．You're going to need to be more 　　8　　．"

　　"Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door．"

　　"That's it．A screen door spring．Right down there．" We 　　9　　 where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were．Andy knew his store, and his products．That was why I came here instead of Meijer．The service couldn't be beaten．The price －Yes．But service and 　　10　　－No．

　　I picked up one and followed him to the 　　11　　．

　　He 　　12　　 the price, doing the math in his head．"＄ 1.88, with tax：comes to ＄ 1.99．"

　　"Put it on my dad's account．"

　　He nodded and smiled, "Good dad's account．" He laughed．"I don't know what you boys would do 　　13　　 dad's account!"

　　He handed me the ticket and as I 　　14　　 it I asked, "You really trust my signature?"

　　His reply surprised, 　　15　　 delighted me．"When I can't trust Jerry Hoover's boys I can trust nobody!"

　　We left, and the brain 　　16　　 started to forget things, in order of importance．But what Andy said that day rang in my ears．And it rings in my ears today．That's a tall order to live up to．It's a high standard of 　　17　　．My father made a fame for that name, and I get to 　　18　　 the benefits．But on account of this, I must 　　19　　 that fame．And that's 　　20　　 business．

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 36 problem. They often accept the opinion 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 analysing. There are six 39 in analysing a problem.
40 , 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 41 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 42 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 46 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 47 , 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 48 the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 49 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy k*s#5^unew 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 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.

He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children 13 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
