Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times the
12、y begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is b
13、roken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears,
14、 the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this t
15、ime, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put
16、 oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.- 4 -Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way
17、. 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 the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly.

The studies were discussed at the American Psychological Convention.
41、 One study, by Harvard University, was of babies 21- 48 months old. It concluded that these babies had a high heart rate when shown unfamiliar people or different toys. Although shyness is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was
42、in 1979. According to Warren Jones of the University of Tulsa, social relations these days are more complex. “With less ritual(仪式) and more complex situations,“ he said, “shyness is a national concern.“ Not all shy people are anxious and fearful, according to another study. Evidence shows that only
43、half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations. Many men use shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations, according to C.R. Snyder of the University of Kansas. “This is not true of females. Perhaps, American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So
44、 they would - 9 -rather say theyre shy than admit theyre incompetent.“ Shy people may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.
