ISSUE 1 145 "One can best understand the most important characteristics of a society by studying its major cities." ISSUE 2 太緊張看完就忘記了.... ARGUMENT 25 The following is a recommendation from the director of personnel to the president of Professional Printing Company. "In a recent telephone survey of automobile factory workers, older employees were less likely to report that having a supervisor present increases their productivity. Among workers aged 18 to 29, 27 percent said that they are more productive in the presence of their immediate supervisor, compared to 12 percent for those aged 30 or over, and only 8 percent for those aged 50 or over. Clearly, if our printing company hires mainly older employees, we will increase productivity and save money because of the reduced need for supervisors.

Argument: 31 (PTT:0 / 來欣高頻第 18 名) 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." 正在奮戰的一起加油! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.129.8 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: pilsner (嚕拉。) 看板: GRE_Verbal 標題: [回報] 4/10 AWA 台大 14:30場 時間: Fri Apr 10 16:49:29 2009 Issue: "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." 第二題忘記了,怎麼想都想不起來。 Argument: The following appeared as part of a memo from the manager of an automobile manufacturing company. "Because the demand for our automobiles is expected to increase dramatically, we need to open a new manufacturing plant as soon as possible in order to continue to thrive. Our marketing projections indicate that 80 million people will want to buy our automobiles, yet our existing plant can only produce 40 million automobiles. The new plant can be opened on a part-time basis, with workers from our existing site rotating responsibilities, until an operational staff can be trained. A major airplane manufacturer was extremely successful using this part-time rotating strategy when it opened its new plant five years ago." 祝大家考試順利,6G成功 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.19.37

"Your recent article on corporate downsizing* in the United States is misleading. The article gives the mistaken impression that many competent workers who lost jobs as a result of downsizing face serious economic hardship, often for years, before finding other suitable employment. But this impression is contradicted by a recent report on the United States economy, which found that since 1992 far more jobs have been created than have been eliminated. The report also demonstrates that many of those who lost their jobs have found new employment. Two-thirds of the newly created jobs have been in industries that tend to pay above-average wages, and the vast majority of these jobs are full-time." *Downsizing is the process in which corporations deliberately reduce the number of their employees. 中文翻譯 以下為寫給全國性報紙編輯者的一封信: 您最近有關於美國公司裁減*員工的文章有 誤導讀者之嫌.這篇文章給人錯誤印象,認為許多由於公司裁員而失業的員工, 常常需要好幾年的時間才能找到適當的工作而面臨了經濟上的困難,但是這個 印象和有關於近幾年美國經濟的報告相互矛盾.這個報告表示自從1992年, 所創造的工作機會比裁減的工作還多.同時這個報告也顯示了失業的員工當中, 有許多人也找到了工作.此外,在這些新創造的工作機會當中,有3分之2所創造的 工作機會所隸屬的產業,其支付的薪資比一般平均薪資還高,且這些工作大部分 都是正職. *裁減員工是公司慎重考慮之下減少員工數的過程. ==============分 隔 線=============== 希望考6g的鄉民一次過關!加油!加油!加油加油加油! -- ╭╯〞′/╱ ◢███◣ 原請不 ∕╱╯∕\ ╮ │◥ ◥◥ PO暫要 ╭—□-□┤ …… │─ ╮│ 好時跟 ╰ ﹏ │ ┌─┐│╮ ╯│ 糟︰我 ╲ ╱ ╯│糟│ ╲ ╱ ╯糕 說 ◢ ̄ ▽  ̄◣ │糕 ◥ ̄── ̄◣ ︰ 話 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.135.19.67 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: qllvv (百事檸檬可樂兒) 看板: GRE_Verbal 標題: [回報] 4/10 awa 台大 14:30 時間: Fri Apr 10 20:44:00 2009 在下的 issue "The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."

The following appeared in a memorandum from the president of Mira Vista College to the college's board of trustees. "At nearby Green Mountain College, which has more business courses and more job counselors than does Mira Vista College, 90 percent of last year's graduating seniors had job offers from prospective employers. But at Mira Vista College last year, only 70 percent of the seniors who informed the placement office that they would be seeking employment had found full-time jobs within three months after graduation, and only half of these graduates were employed in their major field of study. To help Mira Vista's graduates find employment, we must offer more courses in business and computer technology and hire additional job counselors to help students with their resumès and interviewing skills." 台大阿姨人真的很好阿 補充一下,阿姨說如果學校還沒選或要改的 可以在收到准考證後有一張可以填的資料 然後在6/5前傳真出去,還是算免費的四所 祝大家殺G成功阿! -------------------- 希望我有3.0就好了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.66.48.173 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: fish1117 (fish) 看板: GRE_Verbal 標題: [回報] 4/10 AWA 台大 10:30場 時間: Sat Apr 11 00:26:33 2009 ISSUE 來欣題號180 "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.

ARGUMENT 來欣題號157 高頻題號26 The following appeared as part of an article in a health magazine. "A new discovery warrants a drastic change in the diets of people living in the United States. Two scientists have recently suggested that omega-3 fatty acids(found in some fish and fish oils) play a key role in mental health. Our ancestors, who ate less saturated fat and more polyunsaturated fat, including omega-3 fatty acids, were much less likely to suffer from depression than we are today. Moreover, modern societies- such as those in Japan and Taiwan- that consume large quantities of fish report depression rates lower than that in the United States. Given this link between omega-3 fatty acids and depression, it is important for all people in the United States to increase their consumption of fish in order to prevent depression." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.39.181

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: 114.44.17.117 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: kaihsyn (新) 看板: GRE_Verbal 標題: [回報] 4/10 AWA 台大 10:30 場 時間: Sat Apr 11 17:57:58 2009 沒想到這天這麼多人去考,有一種親切感耶(怪)! Issue "The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society." "Most people are taught that loyalty is a virtue. But loyalty—whether to one's friends, to one's school or place of employment, or to any institution —is all too often a destructive rather than a positive force." Argument The following appeared in the annual report from the president of the National Brush Company. "In order to save money, we at the National Brush Company have decided to pay our employees for each brush they produce instead of for the time they spend producing brushes. We believe that this policy will lead to the production of more and better brushes, will allow us to reduce our staff size, and will enable the company factories to operate for fewer hours—resulting in savings on electricity and security costs. These changes will ensure that the best workers keep their jobs and that the company will earn a profit in the coming year." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.164.208

Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are." Argument #239 The Trash-Site Safety Council has recently conducted a statewide study of possible harmful effects of garbage sites on the health of people living near the sites. A total of five sites and 300 people were examined. The study revealed, on average, only a small statistical correlation between the proximity of homes to garbage sites and the incidence of unexplained rashes among people living in these homes. Furthermore, although it is true that people living near the largest trash sites had a slightly higher incidence of the rashes, there was otherwise no correlation between the size of the garbage sites and people's health. Therefore, the council is pleased to announce that the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant health hazard. We see no need to restrict the size of such sites in our state or to place any restrictions on the number of homes built near the sites. 要考6G的戰友一起加油吧! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.44.248.209 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: angel80269 (angel) 看板: GRE_Verbal 標題: [回報] 4/10 AWA 台大 14:30 場 時間: Mon Apr 13 21:44:06 2009 Issue #236 "Sometimes imagination is a more valuable asset than experience. People who lack experience are free to imagine what is possible and thus can approach a task without constraints of established habits and attitudes." #143 "In any profession—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership." Argument #7 Typically, as people age, their bone mass decreases, making them more vulnerable to bone fractures. A recent study concludes that the most effective way to reduce the risk of fractures in later life is to take twice the recommended dose of vitamin D and calcium daily. The three-year study followed a group of French women in their eighties who were nursing-home residents. The women were given daily supplements of twice the recommended dose of vitamin D and calcium. In addition, the women participated in a light weightlifting program. After three years, these women showed a much lower rate of hip fractures than is average for their age. 突然發現我的題目都好低頻orz 大家6G加油!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.114.199.51
