July.25 IL,US

今天早上碰上Q-V-Q, 两个Q都很简单,V的阅读不好对付，没有新题。唯一出意外的是tesing center的电脑，让我在外面等了一个多小时。好像
是因为考试软件老是出错，听其他考生说以前有发生过考了一半系统不行了然后再重新考的事, 不由得可惜当事者的精神损失-_-|| 等到超过
appoiment时间半小时后，工作人员说可以选择继续等或是免费reschedule, 想想还是不要临阵脱逃吧，过了一会就进考场了。题目记得不多，
草稿全被没收，大家请多谅解。

Reading
Short: After war, the U.S. government needed more women workers. Although they claim that women workers are treated equally, they still give different pays between men and women doing similar tasks and women do not have much high level positions. The author admitted at last that it is indeed a start of better equality in public.

Long: Does the art in 20th century serve as a social function? Some argue that art is an end in itself, and it has more emphases on its forms rather than external meanings. Some argue that art can be an escape from the real world, thus the author thinks it is an irony that the escape itself can be seen as a social function.

Issue
159"The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only tools of human minds."
令一题不记得了

Argument
152. The following is a letter to the head of the tourism bureau on the island of Tria.
"Erosion of beach sand along the shores of Tria Island is a serious threat to our island and our tourist industry. In order

to stop the erosion, we should charge people for using the beaches. Although this solution may annoy a few tourists in the

short term, it will reduce the number of people using the beaches and will raise money for replenishing the sand.

Replenishing the sand, as was done to protect buildings on the nearby island of Batia, will help protect buildings along our

shores, thereby reducing these buildings' risk of additional damage from severe storms. And since the areas along the shore

will be more attractive as a result, the beaches will be preserved and the area's tourist industry will improve over the long

term."

Math
1. N is an integer, N > 1
A = the number of divisors of 2N
B = twice the number of divisors of N
I think A<B

2. 3 couples, 6 seats, every one has to sit down and each husband should sit by his wife. Q:how many ways there are for them

to be seated?

3. What is the sum of all odd numbers from 3 to 97, inclusive? Answer: 2400.

4. The greatest common divisor of N and K is 5, the smallest common multiple of N and K is 30. If N = 10, K=? Answer: k = 15.
