kkw123

我这次考试是VQVQV
Issue:
The surest indicator of a great nation is represented not by the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but by the general welfare of its people.

Arg: The following memorandum is from the businessmanager of Happy Pancake House restaurants.
“Butter has now been replaced by margarine in Happy Pancake House restaurants throughout the southwestern United States. Only about 2 percent of  customers have complained, indicating that an average of 98 people out of 100 are happy with the change. Furthermore, many servers have reported that a number of customers who ask for butter do not complain when they are given margarine instead. Clearly, either these customers cannot distinguish butter from margarine or they use the term `butter’ to refer to either butter or margarine. Thus, to avoid the expense of purchasing butter and to increase profitability, the
Happy Pancake House should extend this cost-saving change to its restaurants in the southeast and northeast as well. “

Verbal 加试实在是记不太清楚阅读和填空的内容了，不好意思，把自己还记得的分享一下吧：
1。法国2月革命，与机经原文一样，不过题目问的不一样
2。碰到一篇上次读过的：讲一个painter Manet（Édouard Manet，好像记得文章里面开始写的是Olympia的作者） 使用了跟别人不一样的办法。第一个原因可能是因为：photography。光怎么样了可能导致他使用了跟别人不一样的paint的办法. 第二个原因是因为 Japanese woodblock print， Manet 自己也说这个woodblock给他了灵感。
3。工程师做东西一般都是没有科学基础支持下做出来的，举了先有飞机再有流体动力学的例子（还有个例子不记得了）。然后说工程师设计一个东西的时候，如果有科学理论可以考究就会看一下科学理论。假如没有，工程师也能做出东西来因为通过experiment，做出想要的产品
4。（出现在第三个V里面）change in 一个湖的sedimentation rate 被大家忽略。 这个湖周围的tree and brush因为farming and cutting of tree 而变少了。正常情况下，一个湖的sedimentation只会被洪水影响，但是这个湖 有 constant sedimentation rate。increase in sedimentation rate让湖里面的生物 难找到吃的

这次成绩是 V155Q166，应该就这么样了吧。
祝大家考试每题都碰机经！早日攻下GRE！
