6G小结

     6G，前两天网上查的结果：153/164,3.5。和考试当场出来的成绩一摸一样。当时觉得数学怎么这么低，回来网上看到大家讨论才知道自己确实中了好几个陷阱。成绩换算成老G是1290，成绩一般，特别是Q比较低，但看下来大部分普通学校申请都够了，一把老骨头也经不起第二次折腾了，G也算告一段落了。下面是自己G复习经历的一点小结，算不上很成功的经验，但如果能够给类似背景的xdjm一点提示，那抽出时间码这些字也算值了。

个人背景：到6月底刚好工作6年整，恩，即将当爸爸的大叔级人物。学校的时候么有出国的打算，无奈这几年见得多了，体会得多了，还是想换个更自由，更舒心的环境。由于还要赚钱养家，辞职回家复习的打算只能在背单词累的时候瞎想想。所以我的复习时间基本上是每天晚上8点到11点，2-3个小时。复习是从过完年开始的，那时候差不多一月底了，所以到6G总共复习时间是4个月半月，确切花在G上的时间应该在400个小时左右。本人的英语基础是N年之前的大二考的六级，60几分大概（当时还是100份满分）。大家可以根据自己的基础，结合自己想达到的目标大致估算一下适合自己的复习计划和考试时间。个人觉得像我这样也就4 6级水平的选手的同学准备半年复习时间是比较合理的。

    下面是各个单项我的复习过程：

    单词：啥也不用想，先买本红宝吧。我买的是新版的红宝，就是分核心词汇和扩展词汇的。再把杨鹏的17天翻一翻，杨鹏写的文字挺好的，有煽动性，呵呵，满腔热血的背吧。说实在的背单词关键就是重复，而且新背的要在短时间重复。我的办法是晚上背1-2list，把记不住的抄录在本子上，第二天早上上班，晚上下班的地铁上就背这些词，当天的难词要背，前几天的也看看，效果还不错。路上还有一段时间是要走路的，看不了单词，怎么办？听吧。买的红宝有mp3的。能听一点是一点。时间紧，只能从这些地方挤了。大概背了2个月，前面22个list的核心词汇基本在90%以上，后面的扩展估计只有50%。后来发现其实前面22个list基本够用了。填空啥的总会有几个陌生的，认了。

    阅读：都说考Ｇ是得阅读者得天下。的确如此。Verbal就是在考阅读和词汇，阅读好了，填空就不再是长难句，而是单纯考单词了。我的阅读复习资料就是杨鹏的长难句和36套。强烈推荐杨鹏的长难句，每天坚持半小时，两个月后我发现我的阅读能力确实有挺大的提高，基本上大部分句子都能一遍扫下来，那些倒装，长定语，插入语看多了就会习惯了。36套完整做了一遍，第二遍已经来不及了。其中一片14修正案的还在考试中考到了，虽然是节选，但看到的时候自己信心增加了不少。我的复习时间少，其实这点阅读量还是远远不够的。建议时间充裕的同学每天保证一定的阅读量，至少抽出一定时间看一片英语的文章。

    写作：我给自己定的目标是issue保3，argue保4冲5. 考下来的结果应该是issue3，argue 4. 为什么给自己定这样的目标？因为这基本上是我自己的思维模式决定的，善于推理和概括，弱于发散。这可能也是我们大部分理科生的思维方式。所以argu的逻辑错误对我们来说其实很好找，当然前提是先看了一些别人的总结之后。强烈推荐的材料是：题库所有242道argument题目的分析。很详细，对照着新Ｇ题库看就行了。当然还要注意的一点是新G的写作标准，assumption/evidence/question。我的步骤是这样的，先熟悉每道题目的逻辑错误，自己不确定的可以参考那个分析。针对不同的写作标准，每段在指出逻辑错误的时候套用assumption/evidence/question的不同句式就行了。个人认为只要正确指出了三处文章的逻辑问题，分别稍加阐释，再加个模板化的开头与结尾，基本上4分到手。但是要到5分的境界，需要对每个点分别进行更加详细的解释。如果要到6分，那更需要语言方面的积累，能句式多样化，不重复用词。我抽到的考试题目是161 quick reading 那道。吐槽点很多，但是深入分析不太容易。估计最后拿了4分。再说issue。推荐的材料是 GRE写作5.5 issue篇。推荐理由是对我这样刚开始看到issue题目根本不知道如何下笔，憋半小时憋不出100字的菜鸟来说，这本书很好的启发了我的思路，提供了最简单的写什么的方法。这本书的精简版可以参考西卡鲁：小西给G亲们解析GRE作文高分王道(http://bbs.taisha.org/thread-1258701-1-1.html). 有了基本的写作思路，接下来的工作就是熟悉题库。在这里还要感谢我的老板，在我临考前几天出差了，可以让我偷偷在公司把issue题目看了一遍。看的时候做什么呢？最重要的是总结出论点，是的，对每个题目想出一个不偏题的论点，然后或者正反两方面，或者经济、政治多角度论述一下，混到300字，基本上3分到手。这里推荐一篇在网上找到的范文，个人很欣赏，从论述角度到语言组织，都很合我的胃口，如果有兴趣的同学甚至我建议你背一背。当然你不用写这么长，wolf-girl那段个人认为可以拿掉。

    好了，基本上差不多了。再啰嗦几句。DIY考Ｇ的过程也是一个学习如何做好time management的过程。每个人都是精力有限的，像我这样全职上班还要加班的更是时间有限，中间老婆又怀孕了，惊喜之余更是手忙脚乱，有时候下班回家累了还要去买菜做饭，吃完洗完澡差不多就想倒头睡觉了，不过，也要坚持下来啊。多亏后来丈母娘来了，终于可以抱着笔记本安心在阳台上的小桌上复习了，呵呵。

每个人都有自己的难处，最关键的还是合理设定自己的目标，合理安排时间，从网上瀚如烟海的资料中选取最适合自己的坚定的走下去，“相信大家的未来终将辉煌。”

Issue 38 It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.

How we human being define ourselves has being one of the most important and basic philosophic questions ever since the ancient Greek philosophy period, which seems even more confusing and mysterious in this era of rapid social and technological changes leading to increasing complexity in both personal life and social environment. The title statement considers "our identification with social groups" the primary element to our self-identification. However, in my opinion, the dual quality of both individuality and sociality of human being calls for a balance in which there is not only social identification but also individual identification within the process of one's self-identification.
　　Social identification is necessary because everyone lives in a certain social environment, and it is from this social environment that we learn the behavior norms, form the outlook of value, and find the direction of our lives. As Karl Marx, the great German philosopher illustrated brilliantly (and I paragraph), which he regarded as the main key in his whole philosophic system," Human being is a kind of social animal, the essential of a human being is a synthesis of all his or her social relationships." That means, every person acts as different social roles in different time and to different object. As to a man, for example, he is son, husband and father in his family, he is teacher to his students, and also he is a fan of the New York Nicks when he watches the basketball match in the stadium. The process of enjoying right as well as fulfilling incumbency of every role is just the process for one to form his or her integrated human definition. So, undoubtedly, social identification is unavoidable in human self-identification.
　　Simply put, without being set in some certain social environment, one cannot be properly defined. The best example to this is the wolf-girl found in Amazon forest, who was the only survivor of a severe airplane accident and was brought up by a group of wolfs. The wolf-girl had no psychological characteristics of mankind, she is afraid of staying together with others, cannot communicate with others. Even in physical points, she was more similar with a wolf rather than a human, she stepped with her all fours and ate raw meat. Obviously, one who is of no sociality like a wolf-girl cannot be defined as a real human being.
　　On the contrary, however, over social identification leads to an assimilation in the whole society, which is in a sense harmful to social development and will probably prevent people from making clear some personalities hiding deeply in one's spiritual world, which is of equal importance in people's self-identification as sociality. Not all teachers are supposed to be kind and affable, some students need a stricter one. Not all employees are supposed to be precise and conservative, some employers prefer a more energetic and adventurous one. The attempt to form people in the same shape was proved a big error and a destructive calamity to the society both in pre-U.S.S.R.under the Stalin's administration and in China in 1970's. To sum up, as mentioned in the famous movie "Legend of the fall", no one can refuse to listen to the voice from his or her own heart, the self-identification without individuality is not an integrated one.
　　Without social identification, one can not find the origin from which his sense of value, social norms and life plan was drawn, without looking for some inborn characteristics within oneself, one will miss the important part which different him(her)self from others in the society. So while self-definition necessitates sociality, individuality is equally important. Only can a perfect combination of these two aspects lead to a correct definition of human being.
