Issue 218 "People who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it." 158 "Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts." Argument 72 The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a company that builds shopping malls throughout the country. "The surface of a section of Route 101, paved two years ago by McAdam Road Builders, is now badly cracked and marred by dangerous potholes. In another part of the state, a section of Route 66, paved by Appian Roadways more than four years ago, is still in good condition. Appian Roadways has recently purchased state-of-the-art paving machinery, and it has hired a new quality-control manager. Because of its superior work and commitment to quality, we should contract with Appian Roadways rather than McAdam Road Builders to construct the access roads for all our new shopping malls." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.156.222 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: JYHC (巴拉) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA 9/2 台大 10:00 時間: Wed Sep 2 12:40:35 2009 Issue 81. It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public. 另一題忘了... Argument 69. The following appeared in a recommendation from the planning department of the city of Transopolis. "Ten years ago, as part of a comprehensive urban renewal program, the city of Transopolis adapted for industrial use a large area of severely substandard housing near the freeway. Subsequently, several factories were constructed there, crime rates in the area declined, and property tax revenues for the entire city increased. To further revitalize the city, we should now take similar action in a declining residential area on the opposite side of the city. Since some houses and apartments in existing nearby neighborhoods are currently unoccupied, alternate housing for those displaced by this action will be readily available." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.34.132 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: warumireille (ネコです) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA 9/2 10:30 時間: Wed Sep 2 18:37:22 2009 ISSUE 146 "In most professions and academic fields, imagination is more important than knowledge." 另一題忘了 ================================= ARGUMENT 241 As people grow older, an enzyme known as PEP increasingly breaks down the neuropeptide chemicals involved in learning and memory. But now, researchers have found compounds that prevent PEP from breaking neuropeptides apart. In tests, these compounds almost completely restored lost memory in rats. The use of these compounds should be extended to students who have poor memory and difficulty in concentrating — and therefore serious problems in school performance. Science finally has a solution for problems neither parents nor teachers could solve. -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.115.48.3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: shadowghost (鬼影) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] AWA台大9/2 10:00 時間: Wed Sep 2 20:41:53 2009 ISSUE 185 "Some educational systems emphasize the development of students' capacity for reasoning and logical thinking, but students would benefit more from an education that also taught them to explore their own emotions." 25 "Technology creates more problems than it solves, and may threaten or damage the quality of life." 這題上次有遇到 只是不太好寫不選 ARGUMENT 121 The following appeared in a memorandum from the president of Excello Food Markets. "In 90 towns where Excello has food markets, natural-food stores specializing in organic food products — products containing no chemical preservatives and made with foods grown without pesticides — have opened nearby as competitors. Surveys of our own customers reveal a growing concern about foods grown using pesticides or preserved with chemicals. Recently our market in Sun City participated in a local food tasting fair, and 75 percent of the fair goers who visited the Excello booth requested free samples of organic fruit. Such evidence indicates that to increase our profits, we should begin to stock a full line of organic food products in all our markets." 我恨....時間沒掌握好 寫2.5點而已 唉...... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.115.176.185 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: fuer8 (天氣變冷了) 看板: GRE 標題: [回報] 9/2 AWA 10.30am 台大 時間: Thu Sep 3 00:57:25 2009 Argument No.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.
