ISSUE 138"Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress." (我和同学都写的这道)
72."One can best understand the most important characteristics of a society by studying its major cities."
Argument 【53】Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers' production of melatonin—a hormone known to affect some brain functions—would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children—now teenagers—who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin before birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life.
13年前,研究者研究了一组在受到不熟悉的刺激比如不寻常的气味和未知声音的录音时表现出轻微紧张的25名婴儿。他们发现这些婴儿比其他婴儿更可能在早秋怀孕,而早秋是他们的母亲分泌的melatonin--一种已知会影响一些大脑功能的荷尔蒙--因日照的减少而增加的季节。在今年早些时候所作的跟踪调查中,这些表现出紧张迹象的儿童--现在已经是十几岁--有一半以上认为自己害羞。显然,出生前melatonin的增加导致婴儿期的羞涩并且这种羞涩将延续至生命更晚的阶段。
【216】 The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement.
"Because of its spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate, Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire. As a bonus, housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and real estate taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Nevertheless, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. Retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average."
由于Clearview的天然景色和温和气候,它应该成为那些为退休后寻找生活地的人的首选。其中一项好处是,Clearview的房价在去年显著下降,房地产税一直比邻近城市低。而且,Clearview的市长承诺了很多新方案来改善学校、街道和公共服务。Clearview的退休人员也可以在老年时享受到出色的医疗服务,因为该地区的医生数量高于全国平均水平。
我问到的几个
issue :
61"High-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize are actually damaging to society because they suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition."
185."Scandals—whether in politics, academia, or other areas—can be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could."
41"Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science."
50"In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach."
99. "In any realm of life—whether academic, social, business, or political—the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options." (这个不确定,可是一个MM提供的,态度非常好,给人印象深刻哦……)
下面说一下我的感受:
考前坐学校班车到中关村,再打的。在车上看了会提纲,增加了压力,我和同学都有点想呕吐得样子,但是下车后就好了,后来一直都很正常,没有什么可以紧张的。
写作总体感觉一般,ISSUE好写,但我水平不佳;阿狗呢,跟八点半那场有一样的,但是当时没有花时间去看分析,那到却是相对难一点,最后考得不理想——此乃教训。经验呢,如果大家是参加11点或者下午的考试,鼓励询问G友,大家都是很友好的,考得好得祝福一下,考得不理想的则安慰一下,毕竟大家都是同道中人吗。
鼎钧的键盘我想大部分都很好使,但是我同学用的那个反应迟钝。
考完之后和同学从鼎钧一直走路到四通桥,放松心情,真的不累也不饿,但还是吃了个菠萝——卫生问题先不管它。
从2月下旬准备作文以来,确实每天过得很充实,但是也失去很多,一个很重要的朋友来京出差,本来安排好考完见面,但是公司临时决定她提前起飞,最终没能和她见上一面,很遗憾,只能等下次了。
在准备考试的过程中,特别受感动,我要感谢很多人,感谢老师,感谢那么多的朋友和同学的理解和帮助,还有寄托家园,我在这里面潜水已经有三年多了吧,但是注册没有多久,从我开始想出国时就一直看到这个“家”不停的发展壮大,也曾参加过一些“家”里活动,其实这里面很多斑竹都很熟悉了,他们为我们无私的付出了很多,比如imong, pooh, amorz, galaxysong, 鬼谷子等等,还有好多的G友,我都一直心存感激,今天不是感恩节,但我必须表达这份心情。
接下来继续努力,向着自己的目标前进。大家一起共勉加油! |
