Johnsons Secretary of State(国务卿), Seward bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of 7. 2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something foolishly done.
23、 Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and it appeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “ ring of fire“(火山带). In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year. For these reasons
24、the buying of Alaska was called “Sewards Fooly“ at that time.However, in 1896 gold was found in Alaska, and people poured into the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinking about “Sewards Fooly“. But most people visi

28、ness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some
29、 people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as: “ Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperatu
30、re-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better.

Ther
37、e 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. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repa
38、ir his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, 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.
39、 For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.After studying the problem, the person should have several sugg
40、estions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels: buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones: tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very s
41、uddenly 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 the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam
42、 cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.37 In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except_.（A）recognize and define the problem（B） look for information to make the problem clearer（C） have suggestions for a possib
43、le solution（D）find a solution by trial or mistake38 By referring to Sams broken bicycle, the author intends to_.（A）illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle（B） discuss the problems of this bicycle（C） tell us how to solve a problem（D）show us how simple it is to repair a bicycle39 As used in the last
