严重同意baby的分析.我也同意选C.

baby,今天惊讶地发现,这道题上我们两地分析思路太一致了!简直就是一个脑袋在想...

baby:你最近好吗? 我最近的复习进展时好时坏,有时感到很疲惫,可能是拖的太久了吧?也或许是太差了,反正xx多了不怕咬了?...今天觉得状态还好,坚持多看一点书吧!我真的很佩服你的坚持和持之以恒. 我现在真的希望能有一个像你一样认真的MM一起复习,至少能督促和带动一下我...

I think A is a irrelevant source, the question is asking about 'lower fertility rates', and A is as babypace said '让护园人能安全的工作'. they don't have a necessary connection.

Can I join your group?

I have been studying for GMAT nearly four months (full -time) and plan to sit the exam on 29th of March. I have been studying English since May of 2003 from basic level( I studied Japanese as the first foreign language  in my middle school and university)

I have studied OG SC for 5times and now I am doing 'yufa daquan', but the progress really get me down. Three months ago, before I started my grammar studies, I can answer about 54% correctly and now the average rate is 62%(one minute and 20second per question). It really doesn't mach with what did for it. I am going to memorise the OG question. What do you think?

My reading was about 65%- before Christmas- and since then I am studying LSAT. Although I haven't finished it, I don't think it will have very good effect on me.

The preparation is so hard that sometimes really get me down. I am in London and feel in the middle of no where, because I don' t have time to make friends. It is very good to talk to somebody who have something in common with.

Hi Jonas, you are welcome to join the discussion. I'm partime preparing GMAT. I did OG SC and CR last May to June. I stopped for a whole semester because of too many course work to do. Now i want to pick it up again. But my new semester begins, and I have to work partime, the study time for GMAT is still precious to me. I'll try me best to work on it bit by bit.

SC is my big problem in verbal part. When I first did OG SC, the correctness is 70% or close to it. Now, it's still only 80-85%. Definately not good enough. I'll find a way out.

CR is better, so does the RC. I got 90% correctness on OG CR when I did it again. Maybe because i almost can remember the answer for most of the questions. I tried some readings, the correctness is around 75% if 3 passages with 70-85 lines within 30 mins. I only can finish it in 36 mins. If I speed up to 33 mins, my correctness will down to 65%. But I guess I won't have too much trouble on RC.

Math is another problem for me. I always miss some words or conditions given in the question. I'm among the people who has no idea about math. I'll work on it later.

So, don't feel lonely. We have so many GMATers here. You can always find someone to work together. +U!

对。这也是我想说的。其实看到C以后，感觉好几个都是无关选项了。另外，在看选项前，我自己估计了一下assumption的选项，C和我想的很match。所以二话不说，就选了C了。

一起复习吧。我希望自己能挤出时间看G。但是新学期，学完全新的，没有接触过的编程，我的一个脑袋两个大了。白天还要工作，晚上上课。估计能看G也就在周末一点可怜时间。

对我来说，考试不急的。我始终认为，只要我能力提高到那个水平了，什么时候考只是去做一下题的问题。而且，在很长一段时间内，都能保持这个水平。

thank you babypace

I haven't studied OG CR twice about 4months ago, and few days ago, when i review it,  i could get 90% of them right. but, as you said, I think that is because I am familiar with it. actually, I think if reading is smooth, CR is relatively easy.

I am going to start my math from Feb, I am kind of 'shu xue bai chi'  he he--  sometimes I think the five parts of GMAT like five big mountain of American empire. there are no an easy one for me.   Anyway, let's crack it one by one. I am always telling my self that I can make it.

I saw your  passages talking about logistics in ealier time.

I worked for a forwarding company (a kind of logistic company) for 5years, I was mainly in charge  shipping and air cargo import and export among China, Korea, and Japan.

I concern to study logistics rather than MBA. There is a university in England quite famous for teaching in logistics.

As I know logistics is just starting in China and has very bright future. China is so big, but the logistic development is so poor. I have seen some articles about job situation in China, and it is said people who majored in logistics is very popular.

对不起，各位，我这个问问题的人这么久才回贴。谢谢大家的讨论，我现在清楚多了，主要是对STRESS的意思没有转过弯来。这ETS说话从来不好好说，把人折腾得够呛。BABY说C是母犀牛被固定和处理不会给它们带来一点点地导致生殖能力下降的压力，这样理解就象ETS的答案了。排除他因嘛。做题时看到ANY选项或ONLY选项，是有点怕，太过激，搞得心理有阻碍了吧。但我想总结是不是，假若是在假设的问题中出现，就不怕选它。但在加强，削弱题或结论题上，就不要选了。

I have friends working in logistics. Actually the whole supply chain is kind of a blank area in China. But i'm not sure how  the logistics and supply chain industry in China in the future will be, and how long it will take, as things in western country is still so different from those in China.  Besides, logistics can't be done without good infrastructure of the country. So, I think, there's still a long way to go. Although people in China who are working in logistics might be popular, they are still working on a lower level. Same as marketing research industry. I don't think there's a formal marketing research industry in China. I can't imagine companies spend thounds of money onto a marketing project or sales project even without doing a little experiment. I understand it's difficult to execute some experiments in China's market, or to get some secondary data, but lacking of those supporting industry, can those companies really do a good job on their business? The market will be more mature in China, but it should be a whole thorough improvement of all areas.

这题我的理解结论是，简单看一眼信用卡上的标志会使许多信用卡持有者想付更多钱，因为标志提醒他们他们的花费超出的他们现在立马能拿出的钱，所以他们会付少的小费。

1.这个结论很矛盾呵，那句simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more 是怎样理解的，

2.D也对呵，因为它重复了原文的一句话，也算是加强吧，原文中有the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo一句。

这题以前就没想通，现在决心要弄明白。

24.X GWD-8-Q14:

Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo.  Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies?

1. The effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards.  

2. Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.

3. In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards.

4. In general, restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card.  

The percentage of restaurant bills paid with given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is prepared.
