10. Stage performances are judged to be realistic to the degree that actors reproduce on stage the behaviors generally associated by audiences with the emotional states of the characters portrayed. Traditional actors imitate those behaviors, whereas Method actors, through recollection of personal experience, actually experience the same emotions that their characters are meant to be experiencing. Audiences will therefore judge the performances of Method actors to be more realistic than the performances of traditional actors.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) Performances based on an actor’s own experience of emotional states are more likely to affect an audience’s emotions than are performances based on imitations of the behaviors generally associated with those emotional states.
(B) The behavior that results when a Method actor fells a certain emotion will conform to the behavior that is generally associated by audiences with that emotion.
(C) Realism is an essential criterion for evaluating the performances of both traditional actors and Method actors.
(D) Traditional actors do not aim to produce performances that are realistic representations of a character’s emotional states.
(E) In order to portray a character, a Method actor need not have had experiences identical to those of the character portrayed.

答案是B。可以理解。
但觉得A也应该是个假设前提，为什么不对？而且A这个假设包含了B这个前提。即B是A的前提，A是个结果；但A也可以作为最后结论的假设。
如果A不成立的话，即“Performances based on an actor’s own experience of emotional states are not more likely to affect an audience’s emotions”，那么原题中的结论“。。。judge the performances of Method actors to be more realistic”就不成立了

22. At the end of the year, Wilson’s Department Store awards free merchandise to its top salespeople. When presented with the fact that the number of salespeople receiving these awards has declined markedly over the past fifteen years, the newly appointed president of the company responded, “In that case, since our award criterion at present is membership in the top third of our sales force, we can also say that the number of salespeople passed over for these awards has similarly declined.”
Which one of the following is an assumption of hiring salespeople have not become more lax over the past fifteen years.
(A) Policies at Wilson’s with regard to hiring salespeople have not become more lax over the past fifteen years.
(B) The number of salespeople at Wilson’s has increased over the past fifteen years.
(C) The criterion used by Wilson’s for selecting its award recipients has remained the same for the past fifteen years.
(D) The average total sales figures for Wilson’s salespeople have been declining for fifteen years.
(E) Wilson’s calculates its salespeople’s sales figures in the same way as it did fifteen years ago.

？why C？
以前的一个简短分析没理解。如下：“文中仅说目前的奖励标准是前三名，而过去15年中得奖的人又下降了。假设肯定是c，才能由得奖的人数下降推出合格的人少了。”
提干问的是“an assumption to hiring salespeople have not become more lax over the past fifteen years.”就是问支持“雇用销售人员（这个行为）在过去15年中并没有变得更松懈”的假设。是这样理解吗?

1. notice the GAP between evidence and conclusion...choice B is a bridge to fill up the GAP.. choice A is incorrect because the passage never talk about affecting audient's emotion but only talk about the audient's associating ...with ....

2. yes..by eliminating other possibilities that could weaken the conclusion, choice c is a required condition for validation of the conclusion.

以下是引用albert在2003-8-23 22:29:00的发言：

2. yes..by eliminating other possibilities that could weaken the conclusion, choice c is a required condition for validation of the conclusion.

Thanks.
1、明白了。我想“never talk about affecting audient”是解题的关键点。如果一定按照逻辑推的话，我还是偏向于A。因为more realistic并不一定代表must conform to the 。。，只是表明比imitation更conform to，也许两个都很差呢？也可以说相对有一个more realistic. 所以前提是两种表演间的相对比较，而不是单说某一种是否conform to。

2、还是不太明白。越想越晕，脑子不够用了。：（
能不能帮我翻译一下题目的最后一句话以及提问？
我的理解是“ the number of salepeople passed over for the awards...”是说“被这个奖励忽略的销售人员的数目”，好像这个理解错了。pass over应该是忽略吧。
还是说“通过符合这个奖励标准的人数下降了”，这样的话 “pass over”应该理解为通过。
不过既便是按照“通过"来理解，那么 ”assumption of hiring salepeople have not been lax..“又怎么理解呢？
这里问的假设到底是对原文中” We can also say that the number of .... has similarly declined"这个结论的假设呢？还是对问题中 “ implication of hiring salepeople have not bee lax over the past fifteen years" 的假设？

sigh！大脑严重超载了。有劳。

还是没太懂，感觉这个题目好像不难，可以怎么也想不通。
