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 opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without   2   , they try to find a solution by trial or error.  3   , when all of these methods   4  , the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six   5   in analyzing a problem.
6   the person must recognize that these is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must   7   that there is a problem with the bicycle.
Next, the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must   8   the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for   9   that will make the problem clearer and lead to  10 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bicycle does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.   11  , 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   12   the problem, the person should have  13   suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example   14  , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change old ones.
In the end, one  15   seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the   16  idea comes quite   17   because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different 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.

I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham's for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can't say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I'll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock(貨物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn't sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds”(clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.
When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less
confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn't believe my eyes; this wasn't shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn't keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small child
ren to crawl(爬行) through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole
day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾氣)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realise why, twice a year, ?Graham's? were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won't believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
1.What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?  
Last summer's clothes.
B.Clothes not in perfect condition.
C.Clothes bought in specially for the sales.     
D.Clothes for winter. 
2.Which of the following statements is true?        
A.The customers gave up the queuing, for which the English are famous.        
B.The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.        
C.Small children enjoyed crawling through people's legs.        
D.The security guards were fearless of the crowd. 
3.In the author's opinion, why were Graham's happy to make their expensive store into a “battlefield”?
A.There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.
B.They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.        
C.They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.        
D.They wanted to make more money by having sales. 
4.The expression “_________crashed out” means ________.
A.chatted with her friendsB.slept soundlyC.broke downD.dined out 
5.  What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Best Bargain                B.Hunting for a Job
C.Sale Fever                     D.A Pleasant Fortnight

“Dad! He took a book without paying!” I yelled (大叫). My father looked surprised. Before the boy could say anything, his mother grabbed his arm and shook it. “Is it true? You stole? Tell me!” Everyone was quiet. The boy began to cry, and he nodded (點(diǎn)頭) his head. He pulled out the comic book (漫畫書) from under his shirt. “Oh, Mr Kim. I am sorry! My Ted made a big mistake!” Mrs Diaz told my father. She tried to take the comic book, but Ted wouldn’t let go. “It’s OK. He can keep it,” my father said with a smile. “Oh, no,” Mrs Diaz said. “Let me pay right now…” She dug in her purse. “How much?” “Three seventy-five.”
Mrs Diaz’s eyes widened, and she dug deeper. I saw her mouth make a small line. “Three seventy-five?” she asked.
“It’s OK. You can pay later,” my father said. “No,” Mrs Diaz said. She kept looking in her purse. “I have money here.” I felt bad for yelling, for I realized that Ted had tried to steal the comic book because he didn’t have the money. Maybe the boy could have a job, I thought. I had an idea. “What if he worked with me?” I asked. They turned to me. I said, “He can work with me to pay for the comic book.” “Good,” my father said smiling at me. Mrs Diaz nodded. She turned to her son, “You hear? You will work and buy the comic book!” “ Yes, Mama,” Ted said, hanging his head.
As they left, Ted looked back, and though he still seemed sad, he stuck out (伸出) tongue at me.
Ted has been working here for two weeks. He has paid for the comic book, but my father says he is such a good worker that he can work with me as long as he wants. We are friends now.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place.Birds,fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time.They move for different reasons:most of them move to find food more easily,but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food.Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed.The most famous migration（遷移）is probably the migration of fish,which is called “Salmon”.This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water.There it spends its life.When it is old,it returns to its birthplace in fresh water.Then it gives birth and dies there.In northern Europe,there is a kind of mouse.They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded.They move down to the low land.Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside,and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently,scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster（龍蝦）.Every year,when the season of bad weather arrives,the lobsters get into a long time and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.Nobody knows why they do this,and nobody knows where they go.
So,sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another,but at other times we don’t.Maybe living things just like to travel.

CALCUTTA, India Mar 24, 2006 (AP) — One of the world’s oldest creatures, a giant tortoise believed to have been about 250 years old, has died in the Calcutta zoo where it spent more than half its long life.
Addwaita, which means “the one and only” in the local Bengali language, was one of four Aldabra tortoises brought to India by British sailors in the 18th century. Zoo officials say he was a gift for Lord Robert Clive of the East India Company, who was instrumental in establishing British colonial① rule in India, before he returned to England in 1767. Long after the other three tortoises died, Addwaita continued to thrive②, living in Clive’s garden before being moved to the zoo in 1875.
“According to records in the zoo, the age of the giant tortoise, Addwaita, who died on Wednesday, would be about 250 years,” said zoo director Subir Chowdhury. That would have made him much older than the world’s oldest documented③ living animal: Harriet, a 176-year-old Galapagos tortoise who lives at the Australia Zoo north of Brisbane, according to the zoo’s Web site. She was taken from the island of Isla Santa Cruz by Charles Darwin in the 19th century.
Aldabra tortoises come from the Aldabra atoll④in the Seychelle islands in the Indian Ocean, and often live to more than 100 years of age. Males can weigh up to 550 pounds. Addwaita, the zoo’s biggest attraction, had been unwell for the last few days, said local Forest Minister Jogesh Burman.
“We were keeping a watch on him. When the zoo keepers went to his enclosure on Wednesday they found him dead,” Burman said.
Notes:
①    colonial  adj. 殖民的
②    thrive  v. 茁壯成長
③    documented  adj. 備有證明文件的
④    atoll  n. 環(huán)礁
Choose the best answers according to the above:
小題1:According to the passage, Addwaita ________.
A．was sent to India as a gift by British government
B．was sent to India by British sailors in 1767
C．lived together with three other Aldabra tortoises in India
D．belonged to Lord Robert Clive for some time
小題2: By now, the oldest animal in the world is about at ________.
A．176 years oldB．100 years oldC．250 years oldD．200 years old
小題3: In the last few days before Addwaita died, he ________.
A．had been sent to hospital for treatment
B．had been playing with travelers
C．had been found not better than before
D．had stayed in his enclosure for days
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．An Old Aldabra Tortoise Died in India

When building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.
Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）.During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.
People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.
House building becomes a great challenge（挑戰(zhàn)）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.
小題1:What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?
A．The climate of their areas.
B．The energy for their houses.
C．The fashions for their houses.
D．The building materials for their houses.
小題2:People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.
A．keeping their livestock downstairs
B．protecting their livestock from the cold
C．sharing their houses only with their cows
D．living on the second floor with their livestock
小題3:The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.
A．heat raises the temperature in the houses
B．heat goes in the upward direction
C．heat goes up if temperature is raised
D．heat increases the temperature of rocks
小題4:From the passage, we can conclude that __________.
A．people will no longer consider building materials in the future
B．energy saving buildings will become more popular in the future
C．a(chǎn)lmost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks
D．energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.

How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.
For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(預(yù)防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have access(機(jī)會) to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(過濾器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(瀏覽) the Internet.
A few other tips
●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
●Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.
●Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
小題1:The passage is mainly about the subject of _______.
A．American children going on-lineB．Internet in America
C．a(chǎn)ppreciating InternetD．opposing children’s on-line
小題2:The best way to protect children from improper material is _______.
A．to install(安裝) a content screener on the computer
B．to buy some search engines for the children
C．to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet
D．to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong
小題3:Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A．Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children.
B．Children’s not having access to Internet may have effect on their progress.
C．Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.
D．Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.
小題4:According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
A．soft wares fit for children want programming
B．a(chǎn) child who is on-line is in danger
C．Internet is a jungle full of danger
D．Internet contains a lot of harmful sites
