Another main point question, I read it three times then get the answer. The passage is easy to understand, but the main point is diffcult to grasp.I think the reason is that the thinking way is different bwteen Guizi and us.

Most people are indignant at the suggestion that they are not reliable authorities about their real wants. Such self-knowledge, however, is not the easiest kind of knowledge to acquire. Indeed, acquiring it often requires hard and even potentially risky work. To avoid such effort, people unconsciously convince themselves that they want what society says they should want.

The main point of the argument is that

(A) acquiring self-knowledge can be risky

(B) knowledge of what one really wants is not as desirable as it is usually thought to be

(C) people cannot really want what they should want

(D) people usually avoid making difficult decisions

(E) people are not necessarily reliable authorities about what they really want

Leeon, ha, I'm out of GMAT for 2 weeks and of LSAT for ....at least a month. But it's fun. I pick E.

俺有异议...

George: Some scientists say that global warming will occur because people are releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning trees and fossil fuels(reason lead to the conclusion).

这是引论，不代表George 的观点，George 引用了Some scientists 的观点。

We can see, though, that the predicted warming is occurring already.

这才是George 的观点，你看， "we can see".

In the middle of last winter, we had a month of springlike weather in our area, and this fall, because of unusually mild temperatures, the leaves on our town’s trees were three weeks late in turning color.(evidence to support the conclusion and give an example to illustrate).

猛读了5遍。

      中间结论。错。

(B) knowledge of what one really wants is not as desirable as it is usually thought to be

     主题是关于people 的，不是关于knowledge 的，错。

(C) people cannot really want what they should want

     太绝对了吧，只要干些 risky work 就行了么。

(D) people usually avoid making difficult decisions

      usually 来历不明。

(E) people are not necessarily reliable authorities about what they really want

     文章首句，主题句呀。 就是它了。

27. Agree that C is better. 'his' is necessary.

47. 99% 后用have可以的。因为99% 表达的是可数 n. 复数的%.
