　　ISSUE153."Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."

　　argu179.The following is a memorandum written by the director of personnel to the president of the Cedar Corporation. “It would be a mistake to rehire the Good-Taste Company to supply the food in our employee cafeteria next year. It is the second most expensive caterer in the city. In addition, its prices have risen in each of the last three years, and it refuses to provide meals for people on special diets. Just last month three employees complained to me that they no longer eat in the cafeteria because they find the experience 'unbearable.' Our company should instead hire Discount Foods. Discount is a family-owned local company and it offers a varied menu of fish and poultry. I recently tasted a sample lunch at one of the many companies that Discount serves and it was delicious — an indication that hiring Discount will lead to improved employee satisfaction."

　　我的建议：

　　说是提前半个小时到，但其实我提前四十五分钟左右到的时候大家已经到的差不多啦，都在抄誓词。誓词交得晚就有可能排在后面呀，不想晚进考场就尽量早点到呢~ 注意苏州街这个地方高峰时堵的挺厉害的。

　　考试前大家真有种视死如归奔赴刑场的感觉，但其实考完之后你就会发现这个东西根本没什么好紧张的。就跟平常自己写差不多~大家千万不要紧张。

　　鼎钧的老师很可爱，尤其是查证件的那个女老师，如果实在紧张可以跟她开开玩笑缓解一下情绪啦。今儿一男生拿护照，老师说他拿身份证报名就应该拿身份证过来(提醒大家一定要用报名时的证件)，男生就跑过去拿身份证，回来跟老师说：身份证上的太丑了~还拿手拨了拨头发，说：老师您看这样是不是更像啊?然后大家都笑了~气氛也缓和了很多。

　　送分学校一定要准备好。①学校锁在的州②学校的全称，比如某些学校是x university有的是university of x...一定要记清楚③要查清楚，有的学校要求把分数送到研究生院有的要求送系里~所以到后面会有选专业的选项~

　　键盘算是一般，不会很拖速度，大家放心，但是我的鼠标有问题，不怎么好使，导致我第二个页面没能三秒钟之内proceed掉，可能是这个原因我只选到一个高频吧。

　　关于高频，我抽到的虽然没有写过，但是 很认真的准备过提纲。但是提醒大家：真到考场上除非你写过并且认真改过，否则还是记不清楚的，提纲最起码要再思索个五分钟。反正我是用了五分钟才回忆好全部提纲的~

　　Issue138：Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress.

　　85：Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts.

　　Argument15：The following appeared in a newsletter offering advice to investors.

　　"Over 80 percent of the respondents to a recent survey indicated a desire to reduce their intake of foods containing fats and cholesterol, and today low-fat products abound in many food stores. Since many of the food products currently marketed by Old Dairy Industries are high in fat and cholesterol, the company's sales are likely to diminish greatly and their profits will no doubt decrease. We therefore advise Old Dairy stockholders to sell their shares and other investors not to purchase stock in this company."

　　Issue171.People who pursue their own intellectual interests for purely personal reasons are more likely to benefit the rest of the world than are people who try to act for the public good.

　　只记得一道了，另一个不是高频~~

　　Argument169.The following appeared in a letter from a department chairperson to the president of Pierce University.

　　"Some studies conducted by Bronston College, which is also located in a small town, reveal that both male and female professors are happier living win small towns when their spouses are also employed in the same geographic area.Therefore, in the interest of attracting the most gifted teachers and researchers to our faculty and improving the morale of our entire staff, we at Pierce University should offer employment to the spouse of each new faculty member we hire. Although we cannot expect all offers to be accepted or to be viewed as an ideal job offer, the money invested in this effort will clearly be well spent because, if their spouses have a chance of employment, new professors will be more likely to accept our offers."
