It is necessary for us to improve our problem-solving abilities.If you don't properly understand the problem, your solutions may be ineffective or fail entirely.1.For example,is there one problem or actually several?Can you restate the problem in your own words?By spending time with the problem you will better understand it and be equipped to generate（产生）solutions.

2.Collect data,ask people or experts connected to the problem,look for resources online,in print,or elsewhere. Once you have data,organize it.Try to do this by rewording or summarizing it.Perhaps you could even map it out in a chart.You may not need to bother with this step for simple problems,but it will be essential for those of a more complex one.

The first step in finding a solution is to look at data that you have gathered about the problem and to analyze its importance.3.Start with the raw data.Sometimes,information will need to be broken into smaller,more manageable parts or to be ranked for its importance.

4..You might do this on a limited,trial scale at first to test the results.Or,you might go all in.Keep in mind that unpredictable problems which you did not plan can arise at this stage.

Keep in mind that problem-solving works in a cycle.It will generate a number of different solutions that each should not be ignored.5.If not,then you must look for another solution and start the process over again.So make small changes if necessary.

A.If you fix the problem,you have found a suitable solution.

B.Once you have chosen the best solution,put it into practice.

C.You should focus on the problem and your problem-solving process.

In our life, we face situations where we are either asked to choose between trust and disbelief. Many of us would say we have to choose trust over disbelief. Actually we are given intellectual(智力的) power to choose what we want, and what we choose certainly need not be the one that sounds pleasing. That is, we can choose both trust and disbelief, but we have to know when to choose between these two

We should all realize that we are living in a world which is unfortunately mixed with people of various types. We have been given the power of judging who we are working with and who we are partnering with. We cannot give an excuse for believing a scheming(诡计多端的)person, just because he looked or sounded nice, unless we consider ourselves mentally unskillful.

This world was there before us and it does not owe us a single thing. We are asked to take care of ourselves and our belongings. Trust, too, has to be saved for the deserving(值得的) people. When we give trust universally to all, we end up troubled by the undeserving common cheat. People say trust is life. True! But only wisely exercised trust is life.

When we start a conversation with someone, the first things that we usually notice would be their dress, behavior, style and their language. What sometimes we all forget to look at is the person’s intention. Now how to look at a person’s intention is a lesson everybody has to learn for themselves in their own way -- there is no single standard for it. But it is certainly possible to discover the purpose if we seek a little bit more.

Certainly a false offer of friendship or guidance cannot stand undiscovered for long; we are therefore called to exercise disbelief over trust at least momentarily till we find out that we certainly are in agreement with a mutual(相互的)good-willed person.

The world teaches you lots of lessons and if we are willing, we can learn all that we want.

1. In the first paragraph, the author ________.

A. concentrates on the reason why we make different choices

B. focuses on how to choose between trust and disbelief

C. suggests that trust should be wisely exercised

D. implies that people are forced to make the choice

2. The underlined sentence means __________

A. trust and disbelief go hand in hand with each other.

B. disbelief is necessary if you aren’t wise

C. trust is established if two people know each other

D. doubt may serve as the precondition for trust

3. We can infer from the passage that _________.

A. people who we are working with are in fact those who we are partnering with

B. the first thing we notice tends to mislead our judgment

C. the mentally healthy people will not judge a person by his looks

D. the standards of looking at a person’s intention are various

4. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A. Trust or Disbelief?           B. Trust Is Life.

C. Trust over Disbelief?         D.When to Choose between Trust and Disbelief?

Traffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities, including Washington, D. C. A growing number of Washingtonians are turning to bicycles to get to and from work. In fact, the number of commuters who use bicycles has doubled in the city since 2007.

Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University，popularly known as Virginia Tech. He has written a book about urban biking, called City Cycling. He says there is a reason why urban bike tiding is now becoming more popular.

“Over the last 60 to 70 years, cities in America have been adapted to the automobile.”

“Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate (洲际)highway system, from the federal government, starting in 1956. There was a 90 percent federal match(补贴)so the cities only had to put up 10%. It was very tempting.(临时的).”

In the years after World War Two, many Americans moved to suburban communities, just outside major cities, They decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbs. Their cars became a symbol of freedom.

But today, many people believe they can save money by living in the city.

Greg Billing is with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. “When a person makes a change from using a car to using a bike, he/she is saving anywhere between 8 or$9,000 a year.”

Ralph Buehler says governments save money when people use bicycles. “Building bicycling facilities(设施) is much cheaper than building and maintaining road facilities or public transport.”

Washington, D.C has also taken steps to protect bike riders. It approved a safe passing law and created areas on the road between cars and bikes.

The United States Census Bureau says 4% of the city’s workers ride to work by bike. The only city on the East Coast with more bike commuters is New York.

1.What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?

A. More people in Washington, D. C go to work by bike

B. Bikes lead to new problems in Washington, D. C

C. Washington,

D. C has taken steps to protect bike riders

2.What can we know from Ralph Buehler’s statement?

A. A lot has been invested to build bicycling facilities in cities

B. The federal government supported building public transport

C. Cities didn’t use the money from the government wisely

D. Urban biking has been popular in the last 60 to 70 years

3.In the years after World War Two, many Americans prefer to_____.

A. go to and from work by bike　　 B. live out of the major cities

C. travel long distances a lot　　 D. rent houses rather than buy ones

4.What do Ralph Buehler and Greg Billing agree with?

A. Public transport develop too rapidly in recent years

B. Government should build more bicycling facilities

C. The cost of living in cities is lower than in the country

D. More people using bicycles can save money

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏)of our environment.Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals..., these problems seem so huge.

So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don’t have to drive.

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟)which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more Every year when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but ,since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.

Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be--thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

A few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one to take the first step, and continue trying,others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

1.Where would you most probably read this passage?

A.A guidebook. B.A movie poster.

C.An animal magazine. D.A personal blog

2.Why does the writer use cloth bags in stores?

A.There are only cloth bags in stores.

B.All the people use cloth bags in stores.

C.He thinks plastic bags are more expensive.

D.He wants to do some good to the environment.

3.What does the underlined word “spectacular” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Disappointing. B.Fantastic.

C.Terrible D.Surprising

4.What's the writer's purpose of writing this article?

A.To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.

B.To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.

C.To introduce a special kind of flamingo to readers.

D.To show that there' re many problems in the world.
