　　argument:

　　An ancient, traditional remedy for insomnia—the scent of lavender flowers—has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored electronically. During the first week, volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired. At the beginning of the second week, the volunteers discontinued their sleeping medication. During that week, they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. Therefore, the study proves that lavender cures insomnia within a short...

　　issue:

　　Formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.

　　argument:

　　The following recommendation appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell.

　　"Two years ago, the nearby town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. Therefore, the best way to improve Hopewell's economy—and generate additional tax revenues—is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean View."

　　issue:

　　Some people believe that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit.Others believe that formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.

　　argument:

　　A recent study reported that pet owners have longer, healthier lives on average than do people who own no pets. Specifically, dog owners tend to have a lower incidence of heart disease. In light of these findings, Sherwood Hospital should form a partnership with Sherwood Animal Shelter to institute an adopt-a-dog program. The program would encourage dog ownership for patients recovering from heart disease, which should reduce these patients' chance of experiencing continuing heart problems and also reduce their need for ongoing treatment. As a further benefit, the publicity about the program would encourage more people to adopt pets from the shelter. And that will reduce the incidence of heart disease in the general population.

　　issue：

　　Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and to disobey and resist unjust laws.

　　Argument：

　　The following appeared in a health newsletter.

　　"A ten-year nationwide study of the effectiveness of wearing a helmet while bicycling indicates that ten years ago, approximately 35 percent of all bicyclists reported wearing helmets, whereas today that number is nearly 80 percent. Another study, however, suggests that during the same ten-year period, the number of accidents caused by bicycling has increased 200 percent. These results demonstrate that bicyclists feel safer because they are wearing helmets, and they take more risks as a result. Thus, there is clearly a call for the government to strive to reduce the number of serious injuries from bicycle accidents by launching an education program that concentrates on the factors other than helmet use that are necessary for bicycle safety."

　　我要确定告诉大家，我的分数跟我的努力有关，也就是说，只要你们比我勤快，就可以考很高的分数。

　　言下之意，我其实没有那些大牛们努力，至于多有余地，我会一个个说出来。希望大家把我当反面教材来督促自己。

　　关于单词，看过不少JJ和经验，无一例外表示3000等单词书足矣，因此我就大意轻敌，本身老红宝背背停停一个月，上了一个月的XDF，从做绿皮和课堂练习来看，似乎够用，不说100%正确，十之八九也有。但!这也是我今天V低分的原因之一!19号的GRE是QVQVQ，第一个V出来的时候，满目的单词不认识，让我一度认为自己单词等于没背过。就算猜+推敲，两空和三空本身的逻辑也让我难堪不已。因此，我强烈建议不要小看单词，浑浑噩噩，断断续续，希望靠着小聪明和所谓的“真相只有一个”的推理是不那么靠谱的。

　　说到逻辑了，这个传说是新G开始考察的部分，其实逻辑的难点我个人认为，在于如何扭转老外和我们的思维差别，说句不太合适的话，我们都是学了好几年语文，做了不下几百张语文试卷的题目，却直到现在我们才开始意识到“窗帘是蓝色的”的含义，仅仅是“它就是蓝色的”。如何理解老外出题的思维才是最重要的，至于如何复习，我也是一头雾水，曾获得过一套NG逻辑题，不过做了几道而已，喜忧参半。因此，逻辑在于你如何思考问题，而不是单纯指望堆题目。一个良好的思维习惯在面对三空等长句子填空和理解，一定程度上会帮你减轻压力。

　　阅读，其实对我今天表现来说，我觉得还真不难，无论在第一个V还是第二个V里。可能我本身理解也不好吧，但是至少没有任何一篇让我感觉到不知所云，当然这里理解也有差异，有人认为阅读不难=看的透阅读，我认为阅读不难=看得懂阅读。至少在做题目时候，信息的来源，判断的依据你能大概清楚。多说无意，推荐36套，目前来看，很有用。绿皮我反而没怎么做，白皮做了不少，但是长阅读太长，仅供参考吧。

　　时间，第一个V后面两题，小阅读我根本没时间看了，只有两分钟，我速度扫完就选择答案，然后再考虑多次。感觉时间安排尤其重要，可能还受过去老G机考习惯，无法活用review的功能。所以有些人提议的很对，掐表做题，高效率答题。这也是我第一个V感觉很不好的另外个原因。

　　数学，懒得说，心态最重要，有时间看看OG289页，正态分布，能多拿分就多拿分，确保满分才是王道。标准差也要关注下，其他我觉得很简单，保持个良好的心态就可以，数学还真没特别难。有提高，但是在接受范围内。

　　碍于时间和精力，感觉越写越少了。毕竟不是什么高分心得，分数拿出来也有点丢人。不过我希望大家以后杀G，保持良好心态，不要抱有太多不安因素。不要抱怨考试的难度，世界本没有公平可言;不要抱怨改革，ETS有本事就靠这个吃你的手里的毛爷爷;考的高是本事，考的低也有可能是运气，要养成一种豁达的心态。

　　我的情况很特殊，所以我无论这次考多少都结束了，，然后定学校申请，其他有时间的同学，希望你们比我成功。至少你们单词比我好好背了，逻辑好好理解了...
