多谢bryony的建议.

但我觉得这本书好象褒贬不一呀,虽然很早就买了,但一直没敢动.

尤其去XDF的时候,还拿了上去问白大狭,竟然被白大狭狂扁了一顿,说他从此不想再看到这本书了!!

真是晕到.........

这里有个电子版的英语语法可惜不是很全

2     while, as                                         long                              long      
3    (just) as, (just) when                       short                              short

explanation: short action: ring open; long action: walking, talking.
                   in situation2: as: two situations which develop or change together. As I get older, I get more optimistic.
                                    while: two actions happen at the same time. while you are reading the information, I am working.
                                  when: refer to ages and periods of time. when I was a child, we in in london.

the information above comes from grammar usage book. I think it is clear. if you have other opinions, we can discuss it.

it is just grammar, but for GMAT, in my opinion, the most important is clear and effictive. "as" can be time and cause conjunction; "while"  can be time and comparison conjuction. thus, "when" is best choice for the time clause, even though the differences exist. on the other hand, "as" is very common to use in the time clause when two actions correlate or develop at the same time.

when is less precise than as in characterizing a prolonged and gradual process such as aging. B is the best answer.
