今天继续出去自习：
计划：
1）语法，prep review完。大全能做多少做多少。
2）逻辑，陈向东模拟小测4做完，11-15错题分析完。前面单向里面的错题再争取过30道。
3）阅读，OG总结（这个说啥也要最先做！防止又拖一天）


晚上回来之后继续1A1I+整理本月AI的JJ思路5题


恩，回来验证进度。

进度比计划慢很多啊
陈向东只做了10组，最后实在是想吐了。所以4号题明天再说吧。
prep1还有10个题没有review完，而我最差的reading……还没搞。
神呐为啥越差的我就越努不起来力。


暴饿啊……吃点啥好呢……

今天决定出去自习。曼哈顿先放一放，把prep的语法精讲中错过的题看了，目的是把错题分析明白，防止一错再错。逻辑计划把陈向东的最后11个逻辑小组测试做完。
阅读，把OG高密度错题那几篇（错3个以上的4篇）总结一下。
作文晚上回来写。


恩，晚上验证一下进度。

恩，看完答案就觉得人家对，自己做就错。。。还是没啥顿悟的感觉……做了小兰的6篇阅读，一战时候做过的错1个（做过的都错！！！！），没做过的就错稀里哗啦的
郁闷死我了，上自习被叮的满腿6个包……头晕脑胀，我去游泳……

呵呵，其实还有挤公交车去上自习、跟朋友一起扯淡和游泳的时候。
我上面说的比较不严谨。

好消息啊好消息！！！！
在我“坚持不懈”（laf，其实每次都是临了才约教练，教练不在就自己蛙）地上了几节游泳课之后，我终于学会仰泳了（如果不加手的动作也算会的话……）
也算是Gmat的一大副产品啊。要不是为了缓和考试的心理压力，平时我哪里舍得去游泳……

哎我还是以正经事为主。AA作文一篇。4A3I了，加油加油。，20篇还是指日可待的！

Argument No.82
********************
Question:
The following appeared as part of amemorandum from the vice president of Nostrum, a large pharmaceuticalcorporation.
`The proposal to increase the health andretirement benefits that our employees receive should not be implemented atthis time. An increase in these benefits is not only financially unjustified,since our last year's profits were lower than those of the preceding year, butalso unnecessary, since our chief competitor, Panacea, offers its employeeslower health and retirement benefits than we currently offer. We can assumethat our employees are reasonably satisfied with the health and retirementbenefits that they now have since a recent survey indicated that two -thirds ofthe respondents viewed them favorably.~
Discuss how well reasoned you find thisargument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and theuse of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider whatquestionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternativeexplanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can alsodiscuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, whatchanges in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, ifanything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.
********************
Your Answer:


In this argument, the vice president ofNostrum posits that the company should not increase employee health and retirementbenefits right now.He substantiates this position by citing to the current situation in its maincompetitor Panacea, who is offering relatively lower employee benefits of thesetypes. Furthermore, he maintains that because last year's profits of Nostrumwere low, any increase in the current retirement benefits is not worthwhile.Though the argument seems somewhat convincing at the first glance, it could notundergo further scrutiny. As far as I am concerned, the argument suffers thefollowing logic flaws.
In the first place, the vice president presupposesthat the past performance of the company should decide whether a proposal isbeneficial or not. Based on this assumption, he argues that since the companydid not gain as manyprofits as the year before last year, a current increase in theemployee's health and retirement benefits is financially unjustified. However, common sensetells us that rather than simply reflect the future, a change in a company'spolicy can bring about deep effects on the future. And it is likely thatputting the proposal into practice will enhance morale in the whole company andthus enhance the company's future profits. So it is really unwarranted for thearguer to draw the conclusion that a current in Nostrum employees' health andretirement benefits is not beneficial to the company.
In the second place, the author refers tothe situation of Panacea, a competitor of Nostrum, as evidence to substantiatethat the current health and retirement benefits of Nostrum is not under theemployees' expectations. This evidence, however, is too vague to beinformative. As we know, the package of an employee usually compose many parts,such as the basic salary, annual bonus, commission, and non-cash benefits suchas leave and health and retirementbenefits. The fact that the employee's health retirement benefits of Nostrum isrelatively higher than that offered by Panacea is far less than sufficient toshow that the total package of an average employee in Panacea is lower thanthat of Nostrum. It is highly likely that some other components of thecompensation package of Panacea such as basic salary and bonus are much higherthan what Nostrum are currently offering. And even if the total package offeredby Panacea is in reality lower than that offered by Nostrum, the arguer'sposition is still not persuasive. Since the vice president fails to rule outthe possibility that employees of both Panacea and Nostrum are unsatisfied. Therefore,the evidence of Panacea actually provides us little valuable information tojudge the viability of the proposal.
To sum up, the arguer could not safely draw hisconclusion with merely the evidence and discussion delivered in this passage.To arrive at a sounder conclusion, he should give more details and discuss morecarefully.                  (478)

很悲惨地抽了一道艺术题，抓狂个……只能在开头段默默唧唧了半天。
凑合写了两个position，很牵强。后来想写点的没时间了也。这题我觉得最后可以收敛一下，说“当然了，尽管政府在保护艺术的多元性上有不可推卸的责任，但是每一个个人和组织也应该承担起保护艺术多元性的责任。Based on our discussion above, we can safely draw the conclusion that the government bare irresistible responsibility in protecting the diversity of art. However, the significance of efforts from any social units including individual and any organization should not be overlooked.”
考试千万不要考艺术类的题啊，想举个例子都难。

Issue No.116
********************
Question:



`A government should provide funding forthe arts, but only for those artistic works that reflect the values andattitudes of the majority of the population.~

Discuss the extent to which you agree ordisagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/orexamples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

********************

Your Answer:

Nowadays with higher standard level, anincreasing number of people spend more time in activities to enlarge theirmental entertainment,for example, appreciatingthe master pieces of novels, paintings, and drama. But what decides the valueof arts? This question, though seems to be simple at the first glance, cannotbe answered easily. Rather, different people with different backgrounds such aspast experience, culture, religion, and education, may give different answers.Some people argue that the more a piece of art is recognized by the generalpublic, the more value it carries; they thus call for the government attentionto only protect the artistic works that reflect the values and attitudes of themajority of the population. However, opponents posit that the real value of arthas nothing to do with the public recognition, in that real arts value becauseit reveals the beauty or the underlying meaning of the world, which cannot be comprehended by themajority of people. As far as I am concerned, not only the artistic worksreflecting the majority public virtues should be well protected, but also those reflecting theminority merits should also be treated carefully.
First, we know that just as not all thefamous artists were well recognized in their decades, so were their works. Iwould like to take a Chinese poet's case as an example. Mr. Du Fu, a great poetin Tang Dynasty,was not considered talented during the time he was alive. Instead he was toowise to be accepted by the general public at his time, especially by thecentral government. But some years after his death, people were astonished byhis beautiful and fantastic poems. So even if some arts do not reflect thecurrent majority value, in the future perhaps they will. Therefore, funds andtime invested in protecting them will be worthwhile.
In the second place, even sometimes somework will not eventually agree with the general opinion, they are still vitalsince they provide different understanding of the world. It is diversity andcreativity makes the arts so beautiful and interesting. Imagine, how dull willthe world of arts be if all the works reflect one idea! So to keep thediversity of arts, government should take actions to protect those works, evenwhen they disagree with the majority values.
To sum up, government should notdiscriminate any art works in the process of protecting them, as long as theywill enrich the mental wealth of all human beings.       (416)
