Help?LSAT Section7-IV-24

24. One sure way you can tell how quickly a new idea – for example, the idea of “privatization” – is taking hold among the population is to monitor how fast the word or words expressing that particular idea are passing into common usage. Professional opinions of whether or not words can indeed be said to have passed into common usage are available from dictionary editors, who are vitally concerned with this
question.
The method described above for determining how quickly a new idea is taking hold relies on which one of the following assumptions?
(A) Dictionary editors are not professionally interested in words that are only rarely used.
(B) Dictionary editors have exact numerical criteria for telling when a word has passed into common usage.
(C) For a new idea to take hold, dictionary editors have to include the relevant word or words in their dictionaries.
(D) As a word passes into common usages, its meaning does not undergo any severe distortions in the process.
(E) Words denoting new ideas tend to be used before the ideas denoted are understood.

勤问不如勤思，楼上的gmator在每一次提问后，在等待别人的解答前，是不是
先把自己的思路和主要问题简要介绍一下，既是抛砖引玉，也是培养自己的思考，
也避免提供解答的gmator无重点的回答。

不知道这个建议好不好？

也建议你如果对lsat or gmat题目有兴趣，也有这个可能，同时也算是一个新手，你可以去参加一个培训班作为自己入门的途径，以题解题可能会浪费很多宝贵的真题资源，对你以后真正展开系统的备考复习无助， 这是我的一些建议，提问要精炼，不宜长篇累牍。


也建议你可以去参加smart, atongmu, robert , 等斑竹正在筹办的学习小组，他们正需要论坛上热心的网友的帮助。

但是，如果不提问，一个人的力量是有限的。我所题问题都是自己没办法琢磨出来的题目？才来这里请教的！但你的建议“浪费真题资源”却是要害，现在基本上所有的真题题目多作过了，但水平却很少长进，我现在也比较郁闷，我每次作过题后，都会花很长时间总结，但效果真的很差，不知是我的方法不对，还是功底太差。一直在找自己的问题，可是却没什么效果。曾想过去上一个培训班，但在深圳怎么会有这种培训班呢？

Very sincere and instrumentally meaningful advice!   

bigmouse:  I find you possess a very bad learning habit of depending too much for others' help. Insisting on this psychological inclination, you will neither enhance your thinking power nor achieve your personal goal in both academic and business worlds. In fact, many of your problems involve largely the ultimate technique of logical reasoning and cannot be called difficulty once you recieve some basic entrence training. So, please be independent or take part in some gmat class.

谢谢，uclb5550的建议。看来，你们的想法也许是对的，我会继续努力的！

如果bigmouse是在深圳，我听说在华强路最繁华地带曼哈顿广场旁边有一个叫做华强英语培训中心， 那里有深圳我所知道最好的唯一的出国考试培训班， 好像在深圳书城，深圳图书馆由他们的教学点，管卫东在深圳也有开班，他也有网络课堂，缺点是太贵，优点是听说他保证每一个学员都能上700分，插一句， 我不是在做广告，我也只是听说管卫东的班，他也经常在各大bbs做广告，大家都看过。


OG这本书挺好，看看对你有帮助

呵呵，谢谢你！StephanieYun，给我这么好的建议。现在对我来说，逻辑是我胸口的痛，如果我能拿下逻辑，我有信心上700分，但……，唉～～，也许资质不行吧～～～继续努力！！不过今天看新闻，又有SARS了，担心ing！！！
