阅读9－12那篇也有一个问题，网上至今也没定论：

   Behavior science courses should

       be gaining prominence in business

       school curricula.  Recent theoretical

Line       work convincingly shows why behav-

  (5)      ioral factors such as organizational

culture and employee relations are

among the few remaining sources of

sustainable competitive advantage in

modern organizations.  Furthermore,

(10)      empirical evidence demonstrates

clear linkages between human

resource (HR) practices based in

the behavioral sciences and various

aspects of a firm’s financial success.

(15)      Additionally, some of the world’s most

successful organizations have made

unique HR practices a core element

of their overall business strategies.

      Yet the behavior sciences

(20)      are struggling for credibility in many

business schools.  Surveys show

that business students often regard

behavioral studies as peripheral to

       the mainstream business curriculum.

(25)      This perception can be explained by

the fact that business students, hoping

to increase their attractiveness to

prospective employers, are highly

sensitive to business norms and

(30)      practices, and current business

practices have generally been

moving away from an emphasis on

       understanding human behavior and

toward more mechanistic organiza-

(35)      tional models.  Furthermore, the

       status of HR professionals within

organizations tends to be lower

than that of other executives.

     Students’ perceptions would

(40)      matter less if business schools

were not increasingly dependent on

external funding—form legislatures,

businesses, and private foundations—

for survival.  Concerned with their

(45)      institutions’ ability to attract funding,

administrators are increasingly tar-

geting low-enrollment courses and

degree programs for elimination.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q9:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

              

1. propose a particular change to business school curricula
   
   
2. characterize students’ perceptions of business school curricula
   
   
3. predict the consequences of a particular change in business school curricula
   
   
4. challenge one explanation for the failure to adopt a particular change in business school curricula
   
   
5. identify factors that have affected the prestige of a particular field in business school curricula

我觉得这题还是应该选E，虽然讨论时大家告诉我选A。理由是第一段说的是Behavior science courses应该gain prominence，列出的是影响Behavior science courses的正面因素，第二段说的是Behavior science courses再商学院里收到怀疑，是负面因素，第三段是一个让步，是说如果学校不是因为。。。。的话就不会受到这些负面因素的影响。

综上，我觉得e选项是正确的

又看了一遍，现在同意E，快晕了，从E改到A，现在又改到E@_@~~~~~~

要问一下，题目问作者写这篇文章的目的和作者主要写了什么内容，这两者应该不一样吧？？

---这道偶支持E,理由:

1.看high light部分,第一句话,就说出某某在Behavior science courses应该有显著影响.然后,后面我弄了颜色的部分,都是说到factors,如何如何对Behavior science courses的作用等等.

2.而A,propose a particular change to business school curricula ,我看不出是propose a change,因为文章用了很多并没实现的字眼,如: hoping to...,tends to be...,would....,often....如果是propose a change的话,那么应该是成了事实才对,但是我看到有很多条件和信息都没得到实现.

给出的答案是啥?

唉，又碰到这题了，反复思量最终决定选A

第一句是topic sentence，提出behavior science coursed应该得到更高的地位，即A所说的change

第一段其余部分说了behavior science的好处，也就是为什么要采取这样的change

第二段说了为什么behavior science没有受到重视，其实也是在说采取change的阻力

第三段说了如果怎么怎么样，那么这样的阻力就会减少，实际上为change提供了一个可行的方法

综上所述，我认为答案是A

E更多的是描述了文章的内容，而不是作者写这篇文章的目的，且无法概括第一句的内容

先汇报一下今天的作题情况吧

唉，还是没啥进步，不过数学好一点了（可错的那两题还是很简单）

昨天做了XY版的GWD6, 有两个问题.

Q14:

Political Advertisement:
Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership.  Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.  So there can be no question that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument in the advertisement?

1. The average pay for jobs created in the city during the past three years was higher than the average pay for jobs created in the city earlier in Mayor Delmont’s tenure.
   
   
2. Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.
   
   
3. Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again.
   
   
4. The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide.
   
   
5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.

这道题答案是D,我觉得D相对来说是很好,但是题目问的是strengthen, 我怎么觉得D更象是assumption呢?

我是这样理解assumption和strengthen的，以这题为例，如果D是assumption，那么我们对它取非，结果是：该市在D任职期间减少的工作工资不等于以前年的平均工资，注意，此时有两种可能：1.大于2.小于。当本期减少的大于以前年度时，该结论不成立（如果只有这种情况存在，则D为assumption），但当本期大于以前年度时，该结论仍然成立，所以D选项只能是strengthen而不是assumption。。。

不知这种理解多否。。大家指正！

还是觉得选E，除了以前陈述的理由外，今天忽然发现A选项中用的是curricula，一个复数名词，感觉好想是建议对不只一门商业课程进行改变，至少是两门以上，否则应该用curriculum。

GWD7-04

Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.

A.      movies—less than those

B.       movies—fewer than have been

C.       movies, which is less than those

D.      movies, a number lower than the people

E.       movies, fewer than the ones

怎么我觉得没有一个是对的

B中的 have been 之前不用加those之类的词吗?

less 不可以修饰people，所以A、C错

D中用number和people进行比较，不对

E如果补出省略成分的话，是the ones who was killed by bee stings.与前文的时态不符，而且这里最好是两句话做比较，而不单单是主语的比较。所以后面最好是一个句子，而不是一个由定语从句修饰的名词。

B中的those省略了，这种用法是可以的。

ethyl 别着急，已经很感激你了，每天上来帮我们答疑解惑

能帮助我们解决一个是一个，不一定每个都要答的，辛苦了

tania

看到ethyl 这么辛苦，实在不忍心

建议大家在发题目上来之前先参考以前的讨论帖，基本上前人的帖子已经涉及到了所有的咱们现在遇到的问题，这样既可以很快的解决问题，又可以从前人的讨论中吸取到很多好的思路。

如果以前的帖子没有定论，那咱们再一起讨论好吗？

谢谢大家
