11、. But Goldman wasnt beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try.

24、ember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking.

25、ing. There are six stages 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.

He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to poss

27、ible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels.

28、ng the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration.

29、 the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean

30、the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.11.What is the best title for this passage?A. Six Stages for Repairing Sams BicycleB. Possible Ways to Problem-solvingC. Necessities of Problem AnalysisD.
