其实记得的不是很多

PS 一个正方体，选三条边涂成红色啥的，要求：这三条边不能交于一点，（好像是三条中任意两条都不能交？）问有几种选法，选项里有56，112，120还有两个我忘了。
     5^500 + 5^501 + 5^502 + 5^503 的值最大的质数因子是什么？

DS  x^2 - y^2  是否是even
     (1) x+y = 0
   （2）x-y = 0

RC 一篇是寂静里有的hard sale，soft sale。
      还有一篇寂静里也有，是descriptive grammar和prescriptive grammar
      原始的一篇是讲ants, aphids, milkweeds的mutualism，aphids吸食milkweeds的sap，然后再产生一种liquid给ants吃，然后研究人员想看一下不同的milkweeds对这个relationship的effect一不一样。他们就用了23种milkweeds做了这个research，实验结果说有ants的milkweeds数量更加多，他们还发现了个unimagined point说有些有ants的milkweeds反而变少了（有题目问他们没有imagine什么）。最后一段解释了为什么会有这个实验结果，好像就是说有些milkweeds不适宜有太多的aphids，因为养太多aphids会消耗这个植物自己的糖分和水分，所以milkweeds的数量反而会减少。
      还有篇原始的我给忘了... 不太长

作文
是关于一个George's Pita Emporium这个饭店的。这个老板的original store在a small College town of Sallon， 这里住了很多学生。然后这个老板发现开了这家店以后sales increase dramatically。然后他钱够多了，就要expand，想开three new restaurants in nearby towns and cities。他准备让three employees trained under him in the original store to be the managers of the three new restaurants. He predicts that with the three new restaurants, he will triple his current profits.

大概就是这样，不确定有没有记错的，希望大家分手成功！-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

有人在底下问我心得欸。虽然我不是大神，我来分享一下有关学习方法的吧，希望能对旁友们有帮助。报一下成绩Q50 V44。

先说下我备考的经历和情况。不一定适用于你，但可能会带来启发。翻了一下我的记录。这里建议大家对自己的练习情况做记录，可以看到自己的瓶颈和进步。

我大概是一月初开始看OG，白天实习什么的，中间过春节什么的，拖拖拉拉到二月中才完成了一刷。第一次做的时候，啥资料也没看，SC的正确率是55%，然后买了本曼哈顿，花三天看完，边看边做笔记，我用了个excel列出所有subtle的曾经被我忽略的语法点，然后感受一下GMAT不喜欢的句子结构。然后到了一刷结束SC的正确率在70%到75%左右（我那段时间就真的很不勤奋）。然后到了二月底，我开学了，然后报了四月份的名，只有两个月的时间加上这学期的课很难的现实让我很焦虑，于是我就列了个表，规划每天的task。

计划在考之前完成OG二刷，做20套GWD（其实只做完了19套），两套GMAC送的上机prep模考（这里说下模考软件给的分还是准的，如果大家是一战的话）。

基本是每天晚上两个小时的时间复习GMAT。有的时候是一套gwd有的时候把OG按照section分配，自己拼一套当作伪模考。反正手不能生。Pace之前看推荐是SC 1分30，CR 2分，RC8分钟一篇，我觉得因人而异，我是SC 1分钟，有的时候第一眼看到的是句意就从句意入手，有的时候先看到parallelism就从那里入手，有的时候直接看到split；CR 1分50 ，先看眼题目问的是要找增强削弱还是别的，再去读那段话；RC 没有特意控时间，基本是先扫一遍大概意思，然后再仔细看一遍。每次做完都看自己错哪。SC的话就是把错的语法点整理在专门的纸上或者文档里。CR的话就是自己思考原本的逻辑错在哪里，题目里test的那个点在哪里，关键是要想明白你为什么会想歪，OG的解答部分是个很好的guide。

其实有段时间找到感觉了GWD连着几套都是90%，但最近其实感觉有点丢，考之前两天做的GWD错了一大堆。所以状态反复是正常的，希望大家平常心，按照原来的pace继续复习继续找感觉。

考前一个礼拜我把我二刷OG错的题，和GWD里错的题找出来重新做一遍，然后还是有做错的，然后把那些题集中起来吃透，写个list记录所有做错的要注意的点，考前看一遍。比如我有几个类别的SC特别容易错，最后专门盯着这些学习了下，像can和could，would和would have done之类的。啊对了，数学也是这样，数学我只做了OG，也是把做了两遍还做错的题考到的知识点重点看了，比如说韦恩图啊，排列组合啊。最后还自己整理了错误点，比如要注意单位换算啊，要注意题目里应用题imply的条件啊，比如说DS里make a profit就imply了sales – cost > 0。

我没有看任何别人总结的笔记或者答题技巧，因为我觉得每个人的思维模式不一样。我自己做笔记，有那种think through的过程对我来说比较有效。虽然有可能你自己总结出来的和别人总结出来的结论是一样的，但是你有这个思考的过程，更能让这个结论变成你能消化和理解的东西。我觉得很有共鸣的一个资料是七宗罪，写作的那个，很多时候CR也能用到。但是好像别的一些techniques就不太适合我，有种限死了的感觉，不灵活。大家还是要找到适合自己的方法。

我没有写RC的心得是因为我没有专门work on这一部分… 我觉得我复习时间不够吧，抠阅读不太划算。就是开始做的时候是这个正确率，后来也没啥特别的提高。纯粹吃底子吧。报一下底子，海本在读，雅思阅读9分，日语N2是满分，本身就中英日的阅读都读，纯粹靠看文义做题，没啥技巧，其实我觉得我考的时候RC做得不算好。不要打我。

啊我觉得那篇挺清晰的，我好像又想起来一点。
我的第一题是第一段的作用是什么，第一段第一句似乎是There ...

Hard-Sell "Killers" and Soft-Sell "Poets": Modern Advertising's Enduring Message Strategy Debate
By Beard, Fred K.

This historical study of the U.S. advertising trade literature represents the first attempt to interpret the enduring debate between advocates of hard- and soft-sell advertising. Primary sources consisted of works published mainly in the historically important trade journal Printers' Ink, supplemented with contemporary professional thought identified in advertising and marketing trade journals. The findings of the study are consistent with what many might recognize as the "received view" of modern advertising. However, they also help establish how and why the terms of this debate remained relatively stable over the course of the previous century, despite the fact that definitions of advertising effectiveness and appropriate strategy continually grew more complex and sophisticated.

Ninety-three years ago, leading U.S. automotive advertisers met head on in the industry's foremost trade journal, Printers'Ink, to debate the merits of "reason-why" versus "atmospheric" or "impressionistic" advertising.' Contemporary advertisers, dubbed "hard-sell killers" and "soft-sell poets,"2 debated roughly the same topic in a 1997 issue of Advertising Age. The 1990s version pitted advocates of rational-oriented "advertising that sells" against those favoring emotional-oriented advertising that entertains and creates bonds with consumers.

Scholars have developed and applied many theories and constructs in their study of modern advertising. Recent studies confirm the importance of various hierarchical models of effects, information content, involvement, cognitive processing, affective cues and responses, and attitude toward the advertisement.3 These efforts to match the characteristics of effective advertising with various situational factors, however, have had little impact on the message strategy debate or advertising practice.4 Furthermore, there is little evidence that industry research has had much influence either. A search of the trade literature published between 1970 and 2002 revealed only five instances of industry research linked to discussions of message strategy.5

Instead, as historian Stephen Fox suggested, hard- and soft-sell advertising seemed to cycle back-and-forth throughout the twentieth century "according to the industry's own rhythms,... its perception of the public's boredom level," and "in apparent independence of the external historical context."6 Despite the significance and longevity of the professional dispute-and the recognized influence of major contemporary figures such as Leo Burnett, John Caples, David Ogilvy, Rosser Reeves, and Bill Bernbach-little scholarship exists describing the substantive nature of the debate from the perspective of either the archetypical or rank-and-file advertising practitioner.

The study of the advertising trade literature presented here uses the method of traditional historical analysis7 to address this gap, examining several influences on the hard- and soft-sell debate. One is the extent to which advertisers' definitions remained consistent. Present-day textbooks suggest the hard sell and its informational product orientation consists of logical appeals, an emphasis on tangible product features, and advertising that encourages a direct response.8 The soft sell and its transformational consumer orientation is typically associated with emotional appeals, an emphasis on psychological benefits, and advertising that causes sales indirectly via entertainment, brand image, or brand liking.

Another potentially important influence relates to changing professional perspectives regarding the role and characteristics of effective advertising. Richard Pollay, who identified phases of hard sell and soft sell in his study of magazine advertising between 1900 and 1980, noted the possibility that "many of the apparent differences between the advertisements of various eras are simply different means of trying to accomplish the same ends."9

This analysis also examines the criticisms and arguments advertisers have used to attack their opponents and defend their own positions. …

大神！求问正方体那道题的解法。

美研加4年工作的我看完哭了，为啥我阅读底子会这么弱呢。。。。。每一次RC不管怎么练都不超过40thp 而且平时练得再好在考场上就会看不懂看不进去是怎么回事。专门积累阅读量读了两个月各种英文书刊呢。。。。觉得都提速度快了，但是考试时候阅读还是不行。。。。

恭喜楼主，顺道沾沾喜气

楼主好，我想问一下，上面这题我按任意两条不能相加算出来答案是“44”，不知道正确否？
