【5.27更新，有简短总结】5.18考G，坚持！

4.27：阅读做第二遍36套，感觉没什么效果，文章都有印象，EXE17、18：6/10,8/10,18min.在寄托逛了一圈，决定以后做NO题了；作文看了一下argument，写了一篇，发给考好的同学修改了，觉得模板痕迹太重是不是不太好，但没模板字数不够啊；单词背了很久，差不多有5、6个小时吧。这段时间主要就是弄单词和填空，这方面好拿分，而我做的太不够。

4.28：阅读no.4-1:6/11,6/11;18min,15min;文章太长，看了很没耐心，就看得非常快，有些地方也没看懂。。。
单词用10天过3000的方法狂背，用了大约6h吧，感觉单词太重要了，估计上考场阅读不会有什么奇迹，要是单词跪了，G就跪了。。
看了南大牛人5.5的资料，决定借用他的方法，尽量多写提纲，每天写一篇作文，今天写的是issue。
数学没看。。

这是昨天写的argument，第一次写，模板化非常严重。明天修改。
马上写ISSUE，晚点发上来。
Argument 1
The following appeared in a memorandum written by the vice president of Nature's Way, a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products.
"Previous experience has shown that our stores are most profitable in areas where residents are highly concerned with leading healthy lives. We should therefore build our next new store in Plainsville, which has many such residents. Plainsville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise clothing are at all-time highs. The local health club, which nearly closed five years ago due to lack of business, has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobics classes are always full.We can even anticipate a new generation of customers: Plainsville's schoolchildren are required to participate in a 'fitness for life' program,which emphasizes the benefits of regular exercise at an early age."

In this argument, the arguer advocates that they are going to build a new store in Plainsville because residents there are highly concerned with leading healthy lives. Although this argument might seem reasonable at first glance, it is in fact ill-conceived. The reasons are stated as follows.
In the first place, the arguer assumes that the sales of running shoes and exercise clothing are at all-time highs,so people have more interest in products in the store. Although this is entirely possible, the arguer offers no evidence to substantiate this crucial assumption. It is very likely that many tourists come to Plainsville and buy plenty of products.The arguer's reasoning is definitely flawed unless the arguer can convince me that these and other possible scenarios are unlikely.
In the second place, the arguer assumes that people are interested in exercise because many people are joining in the local health club. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that it is necessarily the case, and the arguer does not supply any evidence to confirm this assumption. It is quite possible that the local health club is having some activities or holding some meetings , so there are many people coming to the club . Without accounting for and ruling out these and other alternative explanations, the arguer cannot bolster the recommendation.
The last but not the least important, even if the evidence turns out to support the foregoing assumptions, the arguer just simply assumes that Plainsville’s schoolchildren are required to participle in an exercise program,so there will be a longtime benefit . Neither any conclusive scientific evidence nor any anecdotal evidence is provided to affirm this assumption. It is reasonable to doubt that what the arguer assumes will not happen in reality. It is just as possible that local schools ask students to do it and children are not willing to do so. In addition , when these children become adults, they might live unhealthy lives . Maybe it is just a transitory test for local children from the government and it will be canceled in a short time. To reach the cited conclusion, the arguer must explain either why none of these alternatives is available or why none of them is able to sustain.
To sum up, the arguer’s argument mentioned above is not based on valid evidence or sound reasoning, neither of which is dispensable for a conclusive argument. In order to draw a better conclusion, the arguer should reason more convincingly, cite some evidence that is more persuasive, and take every possible consideration into account.

ISSUE114 - "Humanity has made little real progress over the
past century or so. Technological innovations have taken place, but
the overall condition of humanity is no better. War, violence, and
poverty are still with us. Technology cannot change the condition
of humanity."

With the rapid development of science and technology , there are more and more technological innovations in our life . However , humanity has made little real progress over the past century . As a result , some people think that technology cannot change the condition of humanity . From my point of view , it is unwise to assess the relationship between humanity and technology just from a narrow perspective .
In my opinion , if people use technology out of control , our lives will be worse . As a result , the condition of humanity will be disappointing . For example , some countries use technology to produce dangerous weapons and cause the tense relationship between abut countries and areas . Some people use technology to break the law in order to have benefit . From the news , I heard about some college students attacked the holes in the network of local bank and make a lot of illegal money . When faced with benefits and profits , many people will lose the ability to think by themselves . They will be lost and forget the importance of humanity . At the same time , technological innovations are going to play a significant role in these fairs .
Does innovations always play negative role in the building of condition of humanity ? I do not think so . In many circumstances , technological innovations give a favor to our humans . I want to take as earthquake happened in wenchuan china as an example . When the disaster happened , many people became hurt , homeless , hopeless . At the same time , technological innovations were used in the earthquake recuse in a very large range . Robots were used to help people trapped in the dropped house . Computer analysis were put into use in many different fields . If these technological innovations did not exist , more people would die and more families would be in sadness . Innovations gives us a chance to think about our lives . What is more , because of the existence of innovations , we will have more free time to look into our lives and think for ourselves . Technology will do so many hard work for us and we would like to have a happier life .
In addition , the growth of humanity is very slow . China has established it own culture for a very long time . Technology just has had an influence on our society since past century . So , I think we should be patient .
In conclusion , although war, violence, and poverty are still with us , technological innovations has helped a lot to improve our lives and has given us extra time to develop our humanity . In my opinion , if we are not satisfied with our condition and humanity , we should take a serious consideration into ourselves to judge whether we use technology in a wise way . We should not give a blame to the development of our science and technology .
