10、r that indicates your choice.Passage OneAdam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth giv

11、es it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all perfbnned by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.Ten me

12、n, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor

13、is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still.But

14、 division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.11 .According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to .take advantage of the physical laborintroduce the division of labor into Englandunderstand the effects of the division of laborexpla

22、g you can learn from it. Ask yourself: Can I see it as a test of something kind?If you try this strategy you may be surprised at your changed responses.

27、eople do not analyze every problem they meet. 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 they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, whe

28、n 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.

29、em 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, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now, the person must loo

30、k for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does no: 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 frie

31、nds 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 oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen

32、 the gear wheels.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. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum （ 口 香糖）between the ge

33、ar 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. In short, he has solved the problem.21.In analyzing a problem we should do all the followin

It is their responsibility to decide i

42、f a certain witness could actually see, hear, and remember what occurred.In a few cases the testimony of eyewitnesses has convicted innocent people. More importantly, it has convicted a larger number of guilty people. Consequently, it continues to be of great value in the American judicial system.Wh
