第三部分書(shū)面表達(dá)?第一節(jié)閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問(wèn)題。

• 8．Upgrade your problems In 2017，I spent all my money buying my first flat—which meant I had no money to fix my first homeowner's problem.I was sleeping on an air mattress because I couldn't afford furniture.Then I noticed a leaky pipe under the bath，which created a wet puddle（水坑）.I couldn't afford a plumber （水管工） but I didn't want to introduce myself to the neighbour by crashing through their wet ceiling.
     The only option left for me was that I had to solve the problem on my own.I took the bus to a nearby store and talked with the nice guy behind the counter.He explained how to fix it and sold me a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework.I went back home，pushed my head under the bath，and got the job done.
     It taught me a lesson that has since become a bit of motto for me：Upgrade your problems.
     Having a wet bathroom floor is a problem—and the day before I bought the place，I would have had a landlord to call.But once the place was mine，this became my problem.I saw this as progress：You must own your own property to take care of this sort of situation.
     Years later，when I founded my professional services company with my business partner，Adam，this motto became core to how we approach the business.There have been many problems，and there will continue to be new ones.However，we remember the reason we have these problems—it's because we run our own business!A late-paying customer is a problem，but it's one we encounter only if we have paying customers.
     That is why I still keep the pipe cutter on my desk today.It reminds me that，no matter my level of frustration （挫?。?，I am fortunate to face the problems I do.The more I solve them，the more I upgrade to even better ones.
  
  （1）What did the author notice in his first flat？

  
  （2）How did the author solve his problem with the bath？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him of his success in business.
  

  
  （4）What else would you do when you encounter problems in life？ （In about 40 words）
