No. 4-1SECTION A

By the time the American colonists took up arms against Great Britain in order to secure their independence, the institution of Black slavery was deeply entrenched. But the contradiction inherent in this situation was, for many, a source of constant embarrassment. “It always appeared a most iniquitous scheme to me,” Abigail Adams wrote her husband in 1774, “to fight ourselves for what we are daily robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have.”


Many Americans besides Abigail Adams were struck by the inconsistency of their stand during the War of Independence, and they were not averse to making moves to emancipate the slaves. Quakers and other religious groups organized antislavery societies, while numerous individuals manumitted their slaves. In fact, within several years of the end of the War of Independence, most of the Eastern states had made provisions for the gradual emancipation of slaves.

No. 4-1SECTION A
By the time the American colonists took up arms against Great Britain in order to secure their independence, the institution of Black slavery was deeply entrenched(背景陈述，告诉读者，本篇内容与Black Slavery有关。从AW的角度出发，即为“背景式”开头). But (很吸引眼球的词，我们看到这里时，心要跳一下—后面紧跟内容很精彩，需要特别留意。试想，前面背景在陈述Black Slavery建立已久，一个But是否会引起反面？而这种政治色彩比较浓的Black Slavery有正面与反面吗？有，正面即为支持，反面即为反对。通过But引导出一个反面观点比较正常，与deeply entrenched相响应) the contradiction(But后的重点粉墨登场，contradiction?，谁与谁contradict，好奇) inherent in this situation was, for many, a source of constant embarrassment(冲突带来烦扰，为什么？什么冲突还没有说明呢，且看下句例证). “It always appeared a most iniquitous scheme to me,” Abigail Adams wrote her husband in 1774, “to fight ourselves for what we are daily robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have.”（原来是奴隶主剥削思想与他们的人性相冲突！，作者通过一个隐形illustration阐释contradiction，并导致embarrassment）


开头段总结：背景+小观点+例证
这种逻辑结构比较好，言之有物，读者也能比较轻松地跟上作者的思路，是AW值得借鉴的写作方法。至少比起模板要漂亮许多！（当然，如果在例证之后再增加一句总结陈词，或许更为潇洒）
在阅读中需要注意But等transition words，它将引导一个论点，或者话题。同时，如果该论点含有比较抽象的词，那么在合适的地方，作者会给出隐形的解释，即广义的“同位语”，以帮助读者确定关键词的真正含义。
在阅读中需要注意例子，正如AW思想告诉我们，例子一般情况下是用来佐证前面的思想。将例子与前句结合着看，将有助于我们理解作者意图。

Many Americans besides Abigail Adams (以点引面，从小至大，很自然的过渡句) were struck by the inconsistency of their stand (embarrassment的另一种说法，读到这里，我们应该意识到，作者以but引导contradiction，并利用AA进行例证，再从大角度进度重申，因此，embarrassment/inconsistency是全文的侧重点之一。这种思想需要在阅读与答题时谨记在心，而且它比较自然地引出一个疑问，只是脑子有困惑，没有采取点实际行动吗？当然有行动，且看下文) during the War of Independence (重大历史事件提供给我们一个大的阅读环境，抓取自己记忆库中相关知识以帮助我们理解原文，注意是原文，而不是个人记忆库), and they were not averse to making moves to emancipate the slaves (这就是实际行动！在困惑之后，为了消除困惑，他们的措施是emancipate！！到这里，我们的思路再演一遍：作者提出困惑，解释困惑，并提出解决方案，是否比较自然？！更自然的是，根据正常逻辑思维，我们会追问，这种方案执行得怎么样？有效果吗？下文作者会告诉你！). Quakers and other religious groups organized antislavery societies, while numerous individuals manumitted their slaves(这就是措施！用一句话从大角度与小角度两方面展开，实现佩服佩服佩服！！从这里，我们学习到，在AW中，从不同角度去说理，将展现作者严密的逻辑思维，较强的说服力，同时，以最小的文字达到最强的力量！). In fact, within several years of the end of the War of Independence (来了，这就是效果，影响深远！！), most of the Eastern states had made provisions for the gradual emancipation of slaves.

第二段总结：
不得不说，作者简短的第二段道出了想多的思想！！厉害！
在阅读中，需要注意段与段之间的承接！注意专有名词！

通过这篇短阅读，KG感受了优秀习作的威力，同时，领悟到认识阅读背后的逻辑是多么重要—知道作者为什么这么写，这么写是否具有说服力！
