　　ISSUE40-"Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."

　　210-"Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work."

　　Argument11-The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of West Egg. “Two years ago, our consultants predicted that West Egg&aposs landfill, which is used for garbage disposal, would be completely filled within five years. During the past two years, however, town residents have been recycling twice as much aluminum and paper as they did in previous years. Next month the amount of material recycled should further increase, since charges for garbage pickup will double. Furthermore, over ninety percent of the respondents to a recent survey said that they would do more recycling in the future. Because of our residents&apos strong commitment to recycling, the available space in our landfill should last for considerably longer than predicted."

　　Issue59-"Too much emphasis is placed on role models. Instead of copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them."

　　85-Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts.

　　Argument7-The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Clearview newspaper.

　　"In the next mayoral election, residents of Clearview should vote for Ann Green, who is a member of the Good Earth Coalition, rather than for Frank Braun, a member of the Clearview town council, because the current members are not protecting our environment. For example, during the past year the number of factories in Clearview has doubled, air pollution levels have increased, and the local hospital has treated 25 percent more patients with respiratory illnesses. If we elect Ann Green, the environmental problems in Clearview will certainly be solved."

　　Issue51-"Education will be truly fective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."

　　Argument53-Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers&apos production of melatonin—a hormone known to affect some brain functions—would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children—now teenagers—who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin bore birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life.

　　issue130-"How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society."

　　Argument150-The following is a letter to the editor of an environmental magazine.

　　"The decline in the numbers of amphibians worldwide clearly indicates the global pollution of water and air. Two studies of amphibians in Yosemite National Park in California confirm my conclusion. In 1915 there were seven species of amphibians in the park, and there were abundant numbers of each species. However, in 1992 there were only four species of amphibians observed in the park, and the numbers of each species were drastically reduced. The decline in Yosemite has been blamed on the introduction of trout into the park&aposs waters, which began in 1920 (trout are known to eat amphibian eggs). But the introduction of trout cannot be the real reason for the Yosemite decline because it does not explain the worldwide decline."

　　153-"Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."

　　Argument157-The following is a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.

　　"As a local merchant, I wish to support the development of a ski resort in the state park north of our township. Along with many other merchants who favor the proposal by Ski the Slopes, Incorporated, I would, of course, experience a growth in my business. But I also know how much more prosperous, not to mention lively and interesting, our community would be if tourism increased. Since the main opposition comes from a few environmentalists* who do not even live in this community, I see no reason to give in to their views. The First National Bank has finally researched the project and agreed to fund it. As a result, I see no reason to delay development of the resort."

　　56-"Governments should focus more on solving the immediate problems of today rather than trying to solve the anticipated problems of the future."

　　argument 51-The following appeared in a medical newsletter.

　　"Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment."

　　考场情况备注：鼎钧内部的环境很温馨，每一个隔间都由酒红色的隔板隔开，桌上放着一盏民国款色的旧式翡翠绿台灯。键盘位置比较高，按键比较硬实，输入较果很不错。

　　issue选了153，之前列了提纲，这回临场写作。argument 51 其实之前用模考软件写过4次，因为前三次一直没有状态，每次写200多字，就撑不住了，想睁睁看着时间终止;最后一次勉强能在规定时间内写到400字以上。今天写时，仍然有些紧张、糊涂，之前的修改稿已然记不得了，论证的并不充分。

　　最后填送分学校，又记不得哪些学校在哪个state了，只好盲目地选CA的学校了。建议大家不要像我这样糊涂了。建议大家考前一定要早点睡吧。千万别熬夜了。第二天发现自己的精神不振的时候，真的很惶恐很惶恐的。

　　祝各位考试顺利!

　　Argument 241-The following appeared in a memo at the XYZ company.

　　"When XYZ lays off employees, it pays Delany Personnel Firm to offer those employees assistance in creating resumés and developing interviewing skills, if they so desire. Laid-off employees have benited greatly from Delany&aposs services: last year those who used Delany found jobs much more quickly than did those who did not. Recently, it has been proposed that we use the less-expensive Walsh Personnel Firm in place of Delany. This would be a mistake because eight years ago, when XYZ was using Walsh, only half of the workers we laid off at that time found jobs within a year . Moreover, Delany is clearly superior, as evidenced by its bigger staff and larger number of branch offices. After all, last year Delany&aposs clients took an average of six months to find jobs, whereas Walsh&aposs clients took nine ."
