review vocabulary to talk about the importance of reading comprehension problem solving

good in my counseling in English frequently PubMed found that many students actually read the articles read, the problem was wrong. The reason there are only two points. 1) The option of the interference; 2) the correct option in the keywords do not know or misunderstood. Really, for most candidates, who are not read the article and the problem is actually very little wrong, wrong most of the two selected causes. In recent years, graduate from the English test the proposition Zhenti analysis of English reading comprehension is not difficult to find common Kaoyan a proposition means that 1) the answer options to set up a keyword or words or replace corresponding to the topic at the (eye problems) keyword information; 2) in the answer options to set up a keyword or phrase summarizes the topic and the text at (eye problems) information. As many candidates in the pro forma review, less emphasis on vocabulary review, to do such practice often results in errors, lost a lot of points, it is really unjust Yeah. Now let us look at a few questions cases.
title Example 1:
I remember first reading in 2003 PubMed understanding about the network intelligence, the article is a prelude to the first paragraph, the article leads to the topic: intelligence network to spy industry has brought changes. Paragraph as follows:
Will Bill Donovan would have loved the Internet. The American spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Services in World War II and later laid the roots for the CIA was fascinated with information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the “great game” of espionage – spying as a “profession.” These days the Net, which has already re-made everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan vocation as well. < br />
this period the center of the sentence is the last one: “These days the Net, which has already re-made everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan vocation as well”. Sentence words are reshape. A place like this is certainly important to the topic Hello, is this exam:
The emergence of the Net has __________. (The network has been around __________)
[ A] received support from fans like Donovan. (to get the support of people such as Donovan)
[B] remolded the intelligence services. (reshaping of the intelligence industry)

[C] restored many common pastimes. (to restore a number of common pastime)
[D] revived spying as a profession. (recovery of the spy profession)
This Road problems understanding it should be very simple, but words become a problem, when only 28% of the candidates do the problem asks. Obviously, the key is that many candidates do not know remold mean, mold for the term basically means “mold” for the verb come out of “shape” means that there is “shape” means, so the teacher proposition can be replaced with a remold reshape the meaning of the text. Most candidates do not know the meaning of remold, then choose [D] key. It seems [D] strong interference items, revive means “wake up”, “Resurrection”, such as hibernation of snakes in the spring, they will revive. Intelligence spy sector all the time going on, without interruption, let alone revive it. These choices [D] key of the candidates did not grasp the meaning of revive good.
problem case 2:
third exam the same year have a reading comprehension problem involved vocabulary. This article about the U.S. rail merger raises concerns about the monopoly of the railway company, the article have been reviewed. The second article is written like this:
Supporters of the new supersystems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions and better coordinated service. Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks. But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances, such as coal, chemicals, and grains, trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.
second section of the railway company is talking merger will lead to a monopoly of view. Railway Company that: not caused by a monopoly, because any threat that may arise will be to eliminate competition from trucks (Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks). Company owner believes that: For the long-distance travel for bulk cargo such as coal, chemicals and food, road transport costs are too high, so the railway companies will pinch their neck. (But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances, such as coal, chemicals, and grains, trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.)
Questions in a a question, ask the owner for the railway industry merger attitude?
What is many captive shippers attitude towards the consolidation in the rail industry?
[A] Indifferent. (do not care about)
[ B] Supportive. (support
[C] Indignant. (angry)
[D] Apprehensive. (worried)
from The last sentence in paragraph owner of the railway company can derive the railway industry, said the merger would lead to monopoly is worried, worried that the railway company will pinch their neck Yeah. but most candidates do not know apprehensive of “anxiety” and “disturbing” and it results only 16% of the candidates on the problem asks to do and most candidates chose the [C] key, indiganant means “angry” and “outrage” and said he was very angry tone than angry, furious stronger. text only said the owner complained (complain), not to the “angry” with it, can not select [C] key indiganant. apprehinsive this option to use the word point to understand the company owner who summed up the railway company mergers will lead to monopoly attitude. If the option instead of using worried applrehensive, so do some of the candidates of solving the problem in more than 90%, it is not a graduate of the test questions Hello.
by the above two questions about the cases, students should know words Review how important it is. Kaoyan reading comprehension questions in 2011 also has several words of the title-question involved, we might have to analyze.
(1)
The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic.
(2011 in the first chapter, paragraph 1)
We learn from Para.1 that Gilbert appointment has
[A] incurred criticism. [B] raised suspicion.
[C] received acclaim. [D] aroused curiosity. < br />
[resolution] is the first discussion the decision to hire the New York Philharmonic Orchestra Alan Gilbert as the next music director of the article. The first was the prelude to the article, said that since after the announcement of the appointment caused a fever in the classical music world proposed, but most people are positive (For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least). test out here in the questions, ask people how the appointment of Gilbert reaction options acclaim means “praise,” and “… … Encore”, corresponding to the text in the favorable meaning, so it is easy to determine [C] key is the correct answer section did not say “criticism,” “suspect,” “curious.” But Some candidates because they do not know the meaning of the word and the acclaim of the items had the wrong vote for it.
(2)
One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.
(2011 in the first chapter, paragraph 2)
< br /> Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is
[A] influential.
[B] modest.
[C] respectable.
[D] talented.
[resolved] This question is a bit difficult, ask Tommasini new music director of Gilbert view. Tommasini support section, said Gilbert, and said He was “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him”. here unpretentious and the meaning of the word has several formidable candidates to know about it, This question test the candidates ability to understand the contextual link from discourse analysis This sentence is a sentence with the progressive relationship (even by the connecting link between.) on a sentence, said “This appointment was aroused people surprising because Gilbert is not very famous (comparatively little known)”, it can be inferred Tommasini of Gilbert not related to evaluation and reputation. and the next one author said, “so to describe the band next command, at least for readers of the times, this is a pale recognition (paint priase)” . It can be concluded Tommasini, while supporting Gilbert, but his evaluation is not very high, [B] is a modest entry in line with this point. modest a “moderate,” “moderate,” “but points “means. modest number of candidates to know is” modest “means, so chose not to choose [A] term” indluential (influential) “, [C] key” repectable (shocking) “or [D] key” talented (talented) “.
(3) Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recordings are cheap, available everywhere , and very often much higher in artistic quality than today live performances; moreover, they can be “consumed” at a time and place of the listener choosing. The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.
(2011 article in the first paragraph 4)
According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?

[A] They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.
[B] They are easily accessible to the general public.
[C] They help improve the quality of music.
[D] They have only covered masterpieces.
[] This is a detailed analysis to determine the problem and asked that the text record (recording) of the situation Author In the fourth paragraph, There recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today live performances; moreover, they can be “consumed” at a time and place of the listener choosing. The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert. records referred to in paragraph there are four advantages: 1) cheaper; 2), where you can buy; 3) The artistic quality of the live music than many high; 4) The audience can choose to listen to recordings of the time and place. These authors emphasized the recording to get around the performance of traditional institutions to bring the crisis. And the availability of the text must be available to candidates a deep impression of it. Grasp the meaning of the word matching candidates a browse option, you can immediately determine the [B] key is the correct answer, because the options available is synonymous with accessible. Questions using accessible alternative avaialbe. “The public is easy to get the album” is the album “available everywhere” meaning.

One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely expanding the orchestra repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.
(2011 in the first chapter, paragraph 5) < br />
Regarding Gilbert role in revitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels
[A] doubtful. [B] enthusiastic.
[C] confident. [ D] puzzled.
[resolution] is a (Author) attitude problem. Such practice proposition the teacher used an adjective (or words) to summarize the author or a person mentioned in the text or of a thing attitude. Undoubtedly make such practice is the key to match the meaning of the word.
author of this question asked to activate the Philharmonic Orchestra Gilbert attitude. By Gilbert in the last paragraph that interest in new music has been widespread concern, he borrowed classical music critic Alex Ross expressed his comments in the activation Philharmonic Orchestra Gilbert view of the role. We look at Rose statement: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely expanding the orchestra repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract. Alex Ross that Gilbert be able to Philharmonic change into a completely different, more vibrant organization. But what kind of a different nature is it? May only increase the orchestra repertoire is not enough, if Gilbert and his band to progress, they must first change America oldest orchestra (that is, the New York Philharmonic) with the audience they want to attract new relationships. A “but … ….”, A “merely … … will bot be enough”, enough to activate the Philharmonic, said of Gilbert role is uncertain, so is used to express the most doubtful exact as this. [B] key is the correct answer.

When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.
(2011 年 second paragraph 1)
When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being
[A] arrogant. [B] frank.
[C] self-centered. [D] impulsive.
[resolved] Stem ask “McGee announced his resignation when the move can be described as …”, candidates can quickly locate the two sentences on: When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company. These two words mean: in August, Liam McGee, president of the identity from the Bank of America leave, he unexpectedly straightforward explanation, he did not use often vague reasons to cover his departure, but frankly speaking he is leaving to pursue his own business to a company goals. This question is not difficult it , Proposition teacher with “frank (frank, honest)” corresponds to “straight up” and “Rather than ….. vague excuses”.

The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn Ferry, senior partner Dennis Carey: “I can think of a single search I e done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”
(2011 年 second paragraph 4)

The word “poached” (Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably means
[A] approved of. [B] attended to.
[C ] hunted for [D] guarded against.
[resolution] is a typical “word problems”, sometimes reading comprehension test in terms of a proposition in the text, the word is usually measured a need to judge candidates based on their contextual meaning in the text there are two cases: 1) test the word word is not familiar with the candidates; 2) measured a familiar word is the word, but there are extended meaning in the text.
test this question of “poacch”, probably one of the few students know the word. poacch appear in the first two: Over the years, managers and headhunters agree that such a principle: the most attractive CEO candidates are those who need poached. So what is meant in the text? We look at the next one will be able to understand. I can think of a single search I e done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first. (I do every recruitment, the Board asked me who was in office from the CEO to find candidates.) sentence of the “search” and “look at” is to poach a comment. [C] item “hunt for” the meaning is the search. poach the basic meaning is “poaching” is derived in the text, “to find” candidates, to “dig” candidates means.

The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media – such as television commercials and print advertisementsstill play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “earned” media by willingly promoting it to friends, and a company may leverage “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site . In fact, the way consumers now approach the process of making purchase decisions means that marketing impact stems from a broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.
(2011 年 third paragraph 1) < br />
Consumers may create “earned” media when they are
[A] obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sites.
[B] inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them.
[C] eager to help their friends promote quality products.
[D] enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products.
[resolution] is a details of the problem, according to “create earned media” to locate the proposition point: Consumers passionate about a product may create “earned” media by willingly promoting it to friends. Juyi is: obsession consumers in a product, may be happy to recommend to a friend , so as to create “free” (earned) media. questions a break this sentence into two, half as casual working, half when the option to change course look, the passinate into enthusiastic, to willingly promosting it to friends changed recommendint their favorite products.

It no surprise that Jennifer Senior insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatternothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”
(2011 年 fourth paragraph 1)
Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring
[A] temporary delight [B] enjoyment in progress [C] happiness in retrospect [ D] lasting reward [resolved] talk about Jennifer Senior on this period of child-rearing issues. Her view is that: 1) We need to redefine happiness: happiness should not be a happy one moment can be measured by a combination of things; we should be happy as a past tense of the state (we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition); 2) It is time that the heavy state of mind, our future has become a source of joy (the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight).
four selected Item means are: [A] temporary pleasure; [B] is gradually on the Hang by; [C] Review of happiness; [D] permanent return. Clearly, [C] key happiness in retrospect summarizes Jennifer Senior of child-rearing issues. Despite the long days of tough raising children, it is exhausting, but in the future has become the source of our joy. happiness in retrospect proposition teachers use to refer to can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.
this road a bit difficult, retrosspect is the outline requirements of the vocabulary, but how many candidates to know about it.

In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation , is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.
(2011 年 fourth paragraph 3)
It is suggested in Paragraph 3 that childless folks
[A] are constantly exposed to criticism.
[B] are largely ignored by the media.
[C] fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.
[D] are less likely to be satisfied with their life.
[resolved] This question is difficult, mainly on text to understand a bit “awkward.” There is a section of comparison should not be talked about the have children of different reactions. In fact, matches the meaning of the word from the perspective of problem-solving, This question should be easy to say, according to Stem the chilless folks can identify eye problems are: but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.
understanding of this sentence is very troublesome, means “those who not a happy person but no children plagued by such information as: “Children are the world only the most cherished thing, obviously, is that life without children lead empty direct result of their suffering.” But whether you have read this sentence, may know from the perspective of matching the sentence are bothered with the corresponding [A] key in the are constantly exposed to; message corresponding to the criticism.
2011 年 even Kaoyan English reading comprehension and vocabulary are nine questions related to this analysis, you should know that I read Bowen purpose of it. Not much to say, over the years Kaoyan Zhenti in reading comprehension, there are many such “word” problem, it is recommended to analyze your own experience, but a good review of vocabulary is the key.

PTO is the meaning of paid leave, stands for paid time off.
new labor law, work for one year but less than 10 years, five days per year PTO.
our company is that every year 1-3 years 3-6 years 15 days 17 days a year ……< br />

want For more information about PTO, see the following article.
article that the case does not apply to all companies, our company in addition to PTO, 30 days sick leave each year do.
Sick Leave vs. Paid Time Off (PTO)
Many companies have done away with “sick leave” and “vacation” as employee benefits and have replaced them with “paid time off “(PTO). While this looks good on the surface, it can be a costly mistake.
What is Paid Time Off PTO
Paid time off is a bank of hours from which employees can draw. Employers credit additional hours to their employeess “banks”, usually every pay period. Most US employers offer their workers 10 paid holidays, 2 weeks vacation, two personal days, and 8 sick leave days per year. Under a PTO plan, the employees would be credited with 30 days paid time off instead (10 10 2 8).
On a bi-weekly pay schedule (26 pay periods per year) employees would accrue an additional 1.3 days of PTO every two weeks. Where a semi-monthly pay schedule is used (pay days on the 1st and 15th of each month) employees accrue 1.25 days PTO on each of the 24 pay periods.
Why Paid Time Off PTO Is Good
The concept is good.
Make your company more attractive to prospective employees and make it easier to retain current employees by increasing the number of days they can take off from work and still get paid. Since most employees are healthy and don ever use all their sick leave, why not let them take the difference as extra vacation vacation time. There is no cost to the company and the employees are happier. How could that be bad?
Why Paid Time Off PTO Is Bad
A Paid Time Off (PTO) program invites abuse. Since a company no longer knows why an employee takes time off, and officially doesn care why, employees are gone more frequently. While this can be controlled somewhat by requiring prior approval for any PTO, employees who never used their full allotment of sick leave will definitely use all of their PTO every year.
Sick Employees Not Using Sick Leave
One of the most costly abuses of PTO is sick employees not using sick leave. Many employees begin to view all paid time off (PTO) as vacation time. So when they are sick, they don want to spend any of their “vacation” time so they come to work and spread germs. This makes other workers ill and productivity drops as more and more of the work force gets sick.
Manage This Issue
Paid Time Off (PTO) can be a powerful recruiting and retention tool. It can also lead to abuse . To effectively manage a PTO program you should:
Make sure it suits the company culture
A PTO plan works best in a company with a higher degree of flexibility

Establish clear guidelines in advance
If you require employees request PTO in advance except for emergencies, how will you define emergency? Is waking up Monday morning with a bad hangover an emergency? What about a sick child, an attitude-adjustment day, or a problem with the car? How will you define and enforce “emergency”?
Manage the people, not just the PTO

If an employee is sick they should stay home. If they come to work sick, send them home. You have an obligation to protect the rest of your employees from one who is contagious.
