"To truly understand your own culture-no matter how you define it-requires
personal knowledge of at least one other culture, one that is distinctly
different from your own."
為了真正地瞭解你自己的文化，不管你怎樣定義它，你需要瞭解至少一種其他的文化
，並且這種文化和你的文化完全不同。
"When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any
other area, the most important question to consider is: How many people's
lives will be improved if the results are successful "
為科學、教育或其他任何領域設定研究優先順序時，最需要考慮的問題是：如果研
究成功，多少人將從中受益？
Argument
-------------
'A new report suggests that men and women experience pain very differently
from one another, and that doctors should consider these differences when
prescribing pain medications. When researchers administered the same dosage
of kappa opioids—a painkiller—to 28 men and 20 women who were having their
wisdom teeth extracted, the women reported feeling much less pain than the
men, and the easing of pain lasted considerably longer in women. This
research suggests that kappa opioids should be prescribed for women whenever
pain medication is required, whereas men should be given other kinds of pain
medication. In addition, researchers should reevaluate the effects of all
medications on men versus women.
一篇新的報告表明，男人和女人感受疼痛的方式彼此不同，因此醫師在開具處方
治療頭痛時應考慮到這些差異。當研究人員給拔智齒的28位男性和20位女性用同
樣劑量的卡巴止痛葯時，女性反映說她們受的疼痛比男性少，而且緩解疼痛的時
間在女性身上比較長。這一研究表明，當需要止痛葯時，卡巴止痛葯應該給女性
服用，而男性應該服用其他類型的止痛葯。此外，研究人員應該根據男女差異重
新評估所有葯物的療效。
這幾題都是去年6G時有出現過的高頻題，大家加油！

(題號為來欣謝老師的編號)
[196]
Peolple are mistaken when they assume that the problems they confront are
more complex and challenging than the problems faced by their predecessors.
This illusion is eventually dispelled with increased knowledge and experience.
[1]
Money spent on research is almost a good investment, even when the results of
that research are controversial.
*選了第2題，科學上有許多具有爭議性的研究可以舉例，
例如"複製人"、"核能發電"、"炸藥的發明"等。
但不能因為研究的負面爭議而禁止科學研究的繼續。可以用政府的力量控管研究的運用。

Argument (30mins)
[21]
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
proven 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 throught
their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on averge, 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. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle
strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment."
*1. 兩組病人詳細病情的資料並未提供，
病人樣本的數量？如何挑選作為樣本的病人？
病人的平均年齡、性別、受傷程度、是否皆為二度感染。這些都無從得知。
2. 開頭的假設與研究的內容似乎並不一致。
3. 兩組人是否該由同一位醫生來醫治？內科醫生會治療肌肉受傷的狀況？
大概記得寫了這些。
另外今天才知道，(不確定前頭是否有人提過了，但還是說一下^^)，
免費分發的四所學校不一定要在AWA考試時就填寫，
可以在考完一個月後拿到準考證，把學校代碼填在附在上面的表格，fax給ETS，
工作人員說，拿到準考證後，上面都有說明。
學校代碼在2007-08GRE的Bulletin上面有。
祝大家考試順利，切記不要緊張啊！
放輕鬆，寫作的思緒才不會亂掉。

"The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only
tools of human minds"
Argument:(謝老師192)
The following article appeared in a recent issue of a college newspaper.
"Among all students who graduated from Hooper University over the past five
years, more physical science majors than social science majors found
permanent jobs within a year of graduation. In a survey of recent Hooper
University graduates, most physical science majors said they believed that
the prestige of Hooper University's physical science programs helped them
significantly in finding a job. In contrast, social science majors who found
permanent employment attributed their success to their own personal
initiative. Therefore, to ensure that social science majors find permanent
jobs, Hooper University should offer additional social science courses and
hire several new faculty members who already have national reputations in the
social sciences."
祝大家考試順利 <(_ _)>
我的issue題目如下：
"The way students and scholars interpret the materials they work with in
their academic fields is more a matter of personality than of training.
Different interpretations come about when people with different personalities
look at exactly the same objects, facts, data, or events and see different
things."
"It is unfortunate but true that political decisions and activities affect
all aspects of people's lives."
一題教育類一題政治類，我選的是教育類的。以反對的立場說明個人的人格特質與訓
練的重要性在人生的不同階段是不一樣的，端看在什麼階段該做好什麼事情。我的結尾是
這樣的：
記得！教授在年輕的時候也曾經是個學生。
我的Argument題目如下：
The following is a letter to the editor of the Roseville Gazette.
"Despite opposition from some residents of West Roseville, the arguments in
favor of merging the townships of Roseville and West Roseville are
overwhelming. First, residents in both townships are confused about which
authority to contact when they need a service; for example, the police
department in Roseville receives many calls from residents of West Roseville.
This sort of confusion would be eliminated with the merger. Second, the
savings in administrative costs would be enormous, since services would no
longer be duplicated: we would have only one fire chief, one tax department,
one mayor, and so on. And no jobs in city government would be lost —
employees could simply be reassigned. Most importantly, the merger will
undoubtedly attract business investments as it did when the townships of
Hamden and North Hamden merged ten years ago."
題目很長但很容易發揮，兩個城鎮說要合併沒有那麼容易，反彈的聲音不可忽略，因
為在這些聲音之中有些可能佔有關鍵因素之類的，裡面有很多點可以發揮，又有複製其他
城市的成功經驗，我的結尾如下：
如果這兩座城市真的堅持要合併，那麼他們將還有很長的路要走。
以上，祝還沒考的人好運！
p.s.
要選擇免費加發的四間學校一定要把他們校名的縮寫弄清楚，以免選錯選到野雞大學啊！
