这些trend不只是part of the recession,不会disappear with the recovery。有什么东西已显示，law行业的labor供求量在recession到来前已经不平衡。Recession的到来，不会让所有的企业都存活下来。 H公司的老板说，有两个原因造成了H公司的demise：一个是income变得愈发不可测，一个是e-discovery hollows out another source of revenue.
在这种情况下，尽管H公司死掉了，哪些公司有机会存活呢？ 1. a group of elite提供wide spectrum of legal work。包括BP&W, S&C, CGS&H啥的。。他们国际化，但是并不是everywhere，只是在一些leading的地方；也并不是everything，指做一些核心的东西。 2. 一些focus only one field的公司，比如WL什么的。他们会和local leaders有很好的关系。作者举了几个例子来说明这种公司怎么怎么蓬勃~ 而且其中有一个C&W公司，在recession时，并没有裁人，还在完成工作。 3. 因为law行业的发展，未来各公司不仅要少雇佣员工，而且要多多去竞争market share。有一种third什么的企业兴起，他们随叫随到。。全听client的要求。。。
Law变得愈发不像一个简单的profession，所以要给出一些应对措施： 1. 让那些lawyer也成为别的行业的expert，可以什么seconded to those industry 2. 在培养时，把business，law，和management结合起来。但是这个手段不是很能成功，因为那三科的incentive，目标，培养方法啥的都不一样。
to 抓抓： 我觉得这句 “In The Weary Blues, Hughes chose to modify the traditions that decreed that African American literature must promote racial acceptance and integration, and that, in order to do so,it must reflect an understanding and mastery of Western European literary techniques and styles.” 后面是说这种传统的具体方式。 并不是他遵循的。 第一段都在说，以前的文章都采取EUROPEANIZE的传统，都是为了与它的作品做对比。。。

1. The author mentions which one of the following as an example of the influence of Black folk culture on Hughes’s poetry? H的作品是在第二段才阐述的，所以先定位在第二段。 定位词：Black folk culture 对应文中this folk culture’s oral tradition，然后根据列举内容找到答案。 (A) his exploitation of ambiguous and deceptive meanings (B) his care and craft in composing poems (C) his use of naming and enumeration (D) his use of first-person narrative (E) his strong religious beliefs
2. The author suggests that the “deceptive veil” (line 42) in Hughes’s poetry obscures (A) evidence of his use of oral techniques in his poetry (B) evidence of his thoughtful deliberation in composing his poems (C) his scrupulous concern for representative details in his poetry (D) his incorporation of Western European literary techniques in his poetry (E) his engagement with social and political issues rather than aesthetic ones 关注Yet后面的，这个强转折是对a deceptive veil of artlessness作出的正确解释。
3. With which one of the following statements regarding Jubilee Songs of the United States would the author be most likely to agree? (A) Its publication marked an advance in the intrinsic quality of African American art. (B) It paved the way for publication of Hughes’s The Weary Blues by making African American art fashionable. (C) It was an authentic replication of African American spirituals and “sorrow songs”. (D) It demonstrated the extent to which spirituals were adapted in order to make them more broadly accepted. (对应“with every spiritual arranged…”, 引号在此处的作用应该是有点讽刺，“所谓的用艺术音乐的方式”) (E) It was to the spiritual what Hughes’s The Weary Blues was to secular songs and stories.
4. The author most probably mentions the reactions of northern White writers to non-Europeanized “sorrow songs” in order to 定位词：northern White writers。回到原文发现定位句后面有一个But，所以肯定是为了形成一个contrast。 (A) indicate that modes of expression acceptable in the context of slavery in the South were acceptable only to a small number of White writers in the North after the Civil War (B) contrast White writers earlier appreciation of these songs with the growing tendency after the Civil War to regard Europeanized versions of the songs as more acceptable (C) show that the requirement that such songs be Europeanized was internal to the African American tradition and was unrelated to the literary standards or attitudes of White writers (D) demonstrate that such songs in their non-Europeanized form were more imaginative (E) suggest that White writers benefited more from exposure to African American art forms than Black writers did from exposure to European art forms
5. The passage suggests that the author would be most likely to agree with which one of the following statements about the requirement that Black writers employ Western European literary techniques? 定位词：Black writers & techniques。 这个定位很难找，不过我们在看文章过程中可以发现倒数第四行“ The peculiar mixture of irony and humor we find in his writing is a distinguishing feature of his folk poetry.” peculiar和distinguish都是强对比词，表示特别的、不同的，这类词出现很可能是考点，所以再看下去就说了H的作品和之前的Black writers不同的地方—“these aspects of Hughes’s writing helped to modify the previous restrictions on the techniques and subject matter of Black writers.” 而这个aspect就是前句所说的irony和humor，irony和humor这种对事件的态度是超过了单纯的艺术技巧的，是作者对这些事物的看法，而这些irony和humor是之前Black writers没有的，所以解释了之前的限制，之前的Black writers不能表达自己的social态度。 (A) The requirement was imposed more for social than for aesthetic reasons. (B) The requirement was a relatively unimportant aspect of the African American tradition. (C) The requirement was the chief reason for Hughes’s success as a writer. (D) The requirement was appropriate for some forms of expression but not for others. (E) The requirement was never as strong as it may have appeared to be.
6. Which one of the following aspects of Hughes’s poetry does the author appear to value most highly? (A) its novelty compared to other works of African American literature (B) its subtle understatement compared to that of other kinds of folk literature (C) its virtuosity in adapting musical forms to language (D) its expression of the folk culture of Black people (它modify打破了African American literature的限制) (E) its universality of appeal achieved through the adoption of colloquial expressions (Colloquial words and phrases are informal and are used mainly in conversation. 文中没有提到它的universal appeal，反而强调它modify打破了African American literature的传统)
怎么我觉得我读到的跟大家分析的不一样。。 文章貌似没有具体提到哪2个well-established traditions 1.secular folk material因为过于口语化且是当奴隶是兴起的，自然是 African American literature traditions（tradition要求维护种族面子）的受害者，但内战之后，secular folk material西化了，白人作家听到一个concert,觉得“灵歌”是好东西. Clearly,secular folk material只有西化后（谄媚）才能维护种族面子。 2.H的贡献很大很牛逼。他用了很多手法（估计指的是西化手法）令黑人文化更普及。虽然他自己不承认用了，坚持自己没用，但人们还是发现大量的西方手法。H的这个做法打破传统，为以后的发扬黑人文化的人开了路子。

楼主
在word里把文章划得花花绿绿的，放到这里原来又要重新编辑过。。
