Instead of copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them." 另一題不好意思忘了!是個低頻題就對了。 ARGUMENT 49 "The following is a letter to the editor of a news magazine. "Clearly, the successful use of robots on missions to explore outer space in the past 20 years demonstrates that robots could be increasingly used to perform factory work more effectively, efficiently, and profitably than human factory workers. The use of robots in factories would offer several advantages. First, robots never get sick, so absenteeism would be reduced. Second, robots do not make mistakes, so factories would increase their output. Finally, the use of robots would also improve the morale of factory workers, since factory work can be so boring that many workers would be glad to shift to more interesting kinds of tasks." 喔~ issue 和 argument 都沒中到高頻題真是難過。 整個就是現場即興創作.... 不管怎樣寫作考完終於可以全力衝刺VQ啦! 大家10G加油喔!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.27.38 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: xacross (xacross) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA 台大 9/17 10:30 時間: Thu Sep 17 14:48:12 2009 ISSUE 41 "If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable." 199 "Facts are stubborn things.

"With continuing publicity about the need for healthful diets, and with new research about the harmful effects of eating too much sugar, nationwide demand for sugar will no doubt decline. Therefore, farmers in our state should use the land on which they currently grow sugar cane to grow peanuts, a food that is rich in protein and low in sugar. Farmers in the neighboring country of Palin greatly increased their production of peanuts last year, and their total revenues from that crop were quite high." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.30.42 ※ 編輯: xacross 來自: 140.112.30.42 (09/17 14:50)

"In order to attract visitors to Central Plaza downtown and to return the plaza to its former glory, the city should prohibit skateboarding there and instead allow skateboarders to use an area in Monroe Park. At Central Plaza, skateboard users are about the only people one sees now, and litter and defaced property have made the plaza unattractive. In a recent survey of downtown merchants, the majority supported a prohibition on skateboarding in the plaza. Clearly, banning skateboarding in Central Plaza will make the area a place where people can congregate for fun or for relaxation." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.31.169 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: silver2 () 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA 台大 9/17 14:30 時間: Thu Sep 17 17:39:16 2009 ISSUE 111 "In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was.

Average wage increases this year are higher than they have been at any time since the 1970's, the number of people who report being unemployed has decreased by 10 percent, and construction of new homes is up by one third.

"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. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment.

"In an attempt to improve highway safety, Prunty County recently lowered its speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 45 on all major county roads. But the 55 mph limit should be restored, because this safety effort has failed. Most drivers are exceeding the new speed limit and the accident rate throughout Prunty County has decreased only slightly. If we want to improve the safety of our roads, we should instead undertake the same kind of road improvement project that Butler County completed five years ago: increasing lane widths and resurfacing rough roads. Today, major Butler County roads still have a 55 mph speed limit, yet there were 25 percent fewer reported accidents in Butler County this past year than there were five years ago." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.166.227.189

Argument: #6 A folk remedy* for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers, has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored. During the first week, volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers discontinued their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. This shows that over a short period of time lavender cures insomnia. *A folk remedy is usually a plant-based form of treatment common to traditional forms of medicine, ones that developed before the advent of modern medical services and technology. 都算高頻題,但是都一整個炸掉了..只希望能有3分...=.= -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.105.166.113 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: ukujam (くるみ) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA 台大 9/17 14:30 時間: Thu Sep 17 19:32:12 2009 終於換自己回報了XD Issue 41.

Humans arrived in the Kaliko Islands about 7,000 years ago, and within 3,000 years most of the large mammal species that had lived in the forests of the Kaliko Islands had become extinct. Yet humans cannot have been a factor in the species' extinctions, because there is no evidence that the humans had any significant contact with the mammals. Further, archaeologists have discovered numerous sites where the bones of fish had been discarded, but they found no such areas containing the bones of large mammals, so the humans cannot have hunted the mammals. Therefore, some climate change or other environmental factor must have caused the species' extinctions.

Instead of copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them." ARGUMENT 134 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' 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 before birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.114.82.172 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: nmface (奈米) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA 台大 9/17 16:30 時間: Thu Sep 17 20:00:26 2009 Issue: #225 "Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study.

Laid-off employees have benefited greatly from Delany's 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.

Two studies of amphibians in YosemiteNational 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's 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." 今天考完AWA覺得心中的一塊大石頭都放下了 Issue一題高頻一題低頻 Arguemaent也是高頻 還好昨天晚上有再複習一次 所以今天當然就直接選擇高頻題發揮 不過時間還是不夠寫... 最後祝大家十月殺G成功喔 大家一起加油吧! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.165.229.141 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: lakoff (雲從 風恆 ) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA 台大 12:30 時間: Fri Sep 18 00:04:07 2009 36.

Argument 126. 高頻 The following appeared as an editorial in a wildlife journal. Arctic deer live on islands in Canada's arctic region. They search for food by moving over ice from islands during the course of a year. Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants on which they feed, and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to cover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it. Unfortunately, according to reports from local hunters , the deer populations are declining. Since these reports coincide with recent global warming trends that have caused the sea ice to melt , we can conclude that the decline in artic deer populations is the result of deer being unable to follow their age-old migration patterns across the frozen sea. -- 這篇文章讓你覺得?════════════════════════ by ycat y + . .ˇ ˇ ˇˇ || c ﹀ ̄▽ ̄ ﹏≦b ︶ ̄y – ̄ a 新奇 溫馨 誇張 難過 實用 高興 無聊 生氣 t ═════════════════════════════════ ╯ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.133.70.251 ※ 編輯: MICROLINUX 來自: 220.133.70.251 (09/18 00:42)
