GRE写作部分将重点考察考生有针对性地对具体考题做出反应的能力，而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具体说来，这些重点关注的能力包括：1、 清楚有效地阐明复杂观点；2、 用贴切的事理和事例支撑观点；3、考察/验证他人论点及其相关论证；4、支撑一个有针对性的连贯的讨论；5、控制标准书面英语的各个要素。写作部分将联合考察逻辑推理和分析写作两种技能，并且将加大力度引进那些需要考生做出有针对性的回应的考题，降低考生依赖事前准备（如背诵）的材料的可能性。
Nevertheless, the call for a broad educational experience as the path to becoming truly
educated comes with one important caveat. A student who merely dabbles in a hodgepodge of
academic offerings, without special emphasis on any one, becomes a dilettante lacking
enough knowledge or experience in any single area to come away with anything valuable to
offer. Thus in the pursuit of true education students must be careful not to overextend
themselves----or risk defeating an important objective of education.
In the final analysis, to become truly educated one must strike a proper balance in one's
educational pursuits. Certainly, students should strive to excel in the specific requirements of
their major course of study. However, they should complement those efforts by pursuing
39
course work in a variety of other areas as well. By earnestly pursuing a broad education one
gains the capacity not only to succeed in a career, but also to find purpose and meaning in that
career as well as to understand and appreciate the world and its peoples. To gain these
capacities is to become "truly educated."
Issue 34
"People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation,
which motivates people much more than individual competition does."
The speaker asserts that because teamwork requires cooperative effort, people are more
motivated and therefore more productive working in teams than working individually as
competitors. My view is that this assertion is true only in some cases. If one examines the
business world, for example, it becomes clear that which approach is more effective in
motivating people and in achieving productivity depends on the specific job.
In some jobs productivity dearly depends on the ability of coworkers to cooperate as
members of a team. For businesses involved in the production of products through complex
processes, all departments and divisions must work in lock-step fashion toward product
roll-out. Cooperative interaction is even essential in jobs performed in relative isolation and in
jobs in which technical knowledge or ability, not the ability to work with others, would seem to
be most important. For example, scientists, researchers, and even computer programmers
must collaborate to establish common goals, coordinate efforts, and meet time lines. Moreover,
the kinds of people attracted to these jobs in the first place are likely to be motivated by a
sense of common purpose rather than by individual ambition.
In other types of jobs individual competition, tenacity, and ambition are the keys to
productivity. For example, a commissioned salesperson's compensation, and sometimes
tenure and potential for promotion as well, is based on comparative sales performance of
coworkers. Working as competitors a firm's individual salespeople maximize productivity-in
terms of profit--both for themselves and for their finn. Key leadership positions also call, above
all, for a certain tenacity and competitive spirit. A finn's founding entrepreneur must maintain
this spirit in order for the firm to survive, let alone to maximize productivity. Moreover, in my
observation the kinds of people inclined toward entrepreneurship and sales in the first place
are those who are competitive by nature, not those who are motivated primarily by a sense of
common purpose.
