考完G虽然结果很悲催，但LZ感觉自己真的升华了…… 杀G的过程是一种人生的历练，虽然它打击过我(持续到现在==)，让我一度很失落，但我还是很感激它，因为所有的努力其实都没有白费，在其中学到的东西是我在平时的课上无法体会的~~ 比如说抗压能力、逆商（Adverse Quotient）……

Issue: 工作场合不应该做private activities
Argue: 近年来，采矿技术的需求降低，所以这个产业包括B公司的profit和stock price都降低了。 与此同时，新能源如太阳能神马的正在booming，所以B公司在将来应该由研发采矿技术改为研发新能源。这样，B公司的profit和stock price就能提高。


这个月的月毒狗狗真的很给力啊~~
inventory-smoothing理论

第一段：inventory-smoothing理论/model的思想是，用库存(inventory)作为buffer,应付可能出现的产品需求的突然增长或减少。这样公司就不用改变当前的生产，production level就会保持稳定
第二段：根据这个理论，production的variance会下降。而且如果需求增加，sales的variance会增加。但是经过科学家调查，发现production比sales的variance要高，而且他们是correlated.这说明要么这个理论有问题，要么还有其他因素影响了调查结果。
第三段：第一句话是，科学家所做的调查是基于aggregate level的，这样一些seasonality的数据可能被忽略，所以不能反映individual firm的情况（后面有问这句话的作用，我选：提供了possibility that masks对单个企业的应用）。有科学家专门对individual firm做调查，但也与inventory-smoothing理论不符。

美国capital allocation
（和GWD差不多!!）
GWD-18-Q35-Q37 感谢rumo
To compete effectively in international markets, a nation’s businesses must sustain investment in intangible as well as physical assets.  Although an enormous pool of investment capital exists in the United States, the country’s capital investment practices put United States


companies at a competitive disadvantage.
    United States
capital investment practices, shaped by sporadic and unpredictable changes in tax policy and high federal budget deficits, encourage both underinvestment and overinvestment.  For example, United States
companies invest at a low rate in internal development projects, such as improving supplier relations, that do not offer immediate profit, and systematically invest at a high rate in external projects, such as corporate takeovers, that yield immediate profit.  Also, United States companies make too few linkages among different forms of investments.  Such linkages are important because physical assets, such as factories, may not reach their potential level of productivity unless companies make parallel investments in intangible assets such as employee training and product redesign.  In general, unlike Japanese and German investment practices, which focus on companies’ long-term interests, United States investment practices favor those forms of investment for which financial returns are most readily available. By making minimal investments in intangible assets, United States companies reduce their chances for future competitiveness.---------------------------------------------------------------------

23.GWD18-Q35:
The passage is primarily concerned with      
A.     evaluating strategies for improving United States competitiveness in international markets
B.     illustrating the possible uses of investmentcapital
C.     analyzing some failings of capitalinvestment practices in the United  States
D.    suggesting reasons for increasing linkagesamong different types of investments
E.     contrasting the benefits of investment inphysical assets with the benefits of investment in intangible assets
-------------------------------------------------------------------
24.GWD18-Q36:  
Accordingto the passage, which of the following characterizes the capital allocationstrategy of United States
companies?              
A.   They tend to underinvest in intangibleassets.
B.   They tend to invest heavily in productredesign.
C.   They tend to underinvest in physical assets.
D.   They make parallel investments in internaland external projects.
E.    They seek to allocate capital in ways thatreduce their tax burden.

25.GWD18-Q37:
Which ofthe following best describes the purpose of the second paragraph?

A.   To propose a solution to the problemintroduced in the first paragraph
B.   To provide support for an argument presentedin the first paragraph
C.   To provide data to refute an assertion madein the first paragraph
D.   To discuss the sources of investment capitalmentioned in the first paragraph
E.    To discuss the competitiveness ofinternational markets alluded to in the first paragraph

答案：C A B




恐龙是不是温血动物？ (也和GWD差不多！！)
GWD-TN7-Q33-Q36
Scientists studying the physiology of dinosaurs have long debated whether dinosaurs were warm- or cold-blooded. Those who suspect they were warm-blooded point out that dinosaur bone is generally fibro-lamellar in nature; because fibro-lamellar bone is formed quickly, the bone fibrils, or filaments, are laid down haphazardly. Consistent with their rapid growth rate, warm-blooded animals, such as birds and mammals, tend to produce fibro-lamellar bone, whereas reptiles, which are slow-growing and cold-blooded, generally produce bone in which fibrils are laid down parallel to each other. Moreover, like the bone of birds and mammals, dinosaur bone tends to be highly vascularized, or filled with blood vessels. These characteristics, first recognized in the 1930’s, were documented in the 1960’
s by de Ricqlès, who found highly vascularized, fibro-lamellar bone in several groups of dinosaurs.In the 1970’s, Bakker cited these characteristics as evidence for the warm-bloodedness of dinosaurs. Although de Ricqlès urged caution, arguing for an intermediate type of dinosaur physiology, a generation of paleontologists has come to believe that dinosaur bone is mammalianlike. In the 1980’
s, however, Bakker’s contention began to be questioned, as a number of scientists found growth rings in the bones of various dinosaurs that are much like those in modern reptiles. Bone growth in reptiles is periodic in nature, producing a series of concentric rings in the bone, not unlike the growth rings of a tree.
Recently, Chinsamy investigated the bones of two dinosaurs from the early Jurassic period (208-187 million years ago), and found that these bones also had growth rings; however, they were also partially fibro-lamellar in nature. Chinsamy’s work raises a question central to the debate over dinosaur physiology: did dinosaurs form fibro-lamellar bone because of an innately high metabolic rate associated with warm-bloodedness or because of periods of unusually fast growth that occurred under favorable environmental conditions? (Although modern reptiles generally do not form fibro-lamellar bone, juvenile crocodiles raised under optimal environmental conditions do.) This question remains unanswered; indeed, taking all the evidence into account, one cannot make a definitive statement about dinosaur physiology on the basis of dinosaur bone. It may be that dinosaurs had an intermediate pattern of bone structure because their physiology was neither typically reptilian, mammalian, nor avian.


GWD-9-Q33 G-9-Q33:
The author of the passage would be most likely to agree that the “caution” (line 29) urged by de Ricqlès regarding claims about dinosaur physiology was


unjustified by the evidence available to de Ricqlès
unnecessary, given the work done by Bakker and his followers
indicative of the prevailing scientific opinion at the time
warranted, given certain subsequent findings of other scientists
influential in the recent work of Chinsamy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GWD-9-Q34 G
-9-Q34:The primary purpose of the passage is to
discuss the influence on other scientists of Bakker’s argument concerning the warm-bloodedness of dinosaurs
provide evidence that supports the claim that dinosaurs were cold-blooded
challenge the contention that dinosaur bone tissue is innately fibro-lamellar
evaluate the claim that dinosaur bone tissue provides evidence for the warmbloodedness of dinosaurs
resolve the disagreement between de Ricqlès and Bakker over the nature of dinosaur physiology
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GWD-9-Q35 G
-9-Q35:According to the passage, the discovery of growth rings in the bones of certain dinosaurs served to undermine which of the following claims?


That modern reptiles are related to dinosaurs
That bone growth in dinosaurs was periodic in nature
That dinosaurs were warm-blooded
That dinosaurs had an intermediate type of physiology
That fibro-lamellar bone is the product of a rapid growth rate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GWD-9-Q36 G
-9-Q36:The author of the passage mentions bone growth patterns in juvenile crocodiles most likely in order to


provide support for the argument that reptiles are not related to dinosaurs
undermine the claim that most reptiles are slow-growing
offer an explanation as to why juvenile crocodiles differ from most modern reptiles
suggest the juvenile crocodiles have a type of physiology intermediate between-f mammals and that of reptiles suggest that the presence of fibro-lamellar bone does not resolve the debate over dinosaur physiology


最后10题中还有一个关于美国remedies的阅读，看的很粗糙，现在失忆了……

Dear，差不多是指非原文原题，但是意思背景相近是吧？
