GRE阅读高分应避免3个问题
盲目求快而忽略了文章中主要的信息
有些考生片面理解新GRE阅读中的快速阅读，认为快速阅读仅仅指的就是提高单位时间内容阅读单词的数量，所以在阅读实践中盲目提速。导致文章中重要的主干内容被忽略。也有有些考生在处理上一段的时候以极快的速度从头念到尾，却没有区分关键信息和非关键信息。结果就造成虽然读得很快，但读完以后却什么重要内容都没记住，白白浪费了读一遍的时间。
看到细节部分就缩手缩脚，不敢舍弃
有的考生在备考时也基本认同了快速阅读方法的合理性，可在实际浏览GRE阅读理解文章的过程中还是缩手缩脚，不敢快速阅读一些细节。也有些考生将GRE考试的大量时间花在细节上，最终导致没有时间去思考该这部分内容是否值得他这样去细细品味。会出现这种问题一方面是大家还缺乏自信，另一方面则是因为缺乏抓重点的能力。GRE题目中细节题其实还是比较少的，如果大家在阅读文章发现一些细节，建议大致看一下了解内容后做个标记，如果题目中涉及到了再返回定位一下即可。
颠倒阅读重点，不知道区分主次
在把握GRE阅读文章时，考生首先应读出其逻辑层次，其中包括套路，各段段意，各段之间的逻辑关系以及主题句。其次，需注意文章中的一些重点语言现象，如GRE强转折，强因果和强对比等词所在的句子。同时在看文章时对一些重要的细节要记住它们大致的位置。有些考生看到一篇篇幅很长的问题，不知道入手下手，也不清楚哪些是重点内容，这也是需要通过练习来进一步强化的。
总而言之，想要在GRE阅读中取得理想成绩。上述这些问题和错误阅读习惯大家就必须提前学会改正。只有打好阅读基础，考生才能考出高分，实现梦想。
GRE阅读模拟题
Many scholars have argued that government investment in manufacturing in the southern United States during the Second World War spurred a regional economic boom that lasted into the postwar period. But much of this investment went to specialized plants, many of them unsuitable for postwar production. Large-scale, wartime government funding led to a massive increase in the number and scale of munitions facilities. By the war’s end, 216 munitions establishment costing more than $3.5 billion had been built, many of them located in the south. Indeed, according to one estimate, more than 70 percent of federally financed manufacturing construction capital in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee went into munitions plants.
Even in the northern regions with strong prewar manufacturing economics, these plants were difficult to deal with once the imperative of war had been removed. In the south few industrialists had the capacity or desire to transform these factories to a peacetime function. Accordingly, at war’s end almost all of the southern munitions facilities were shut down, placed on standby, operated at a very low capacity, or converted to nonmanufacturing functions, usually storage. Although some reopened a few years later for use during the Korean War, the impact of the special plants on the South’s postwar economy was marginal at best.

B. used for nonmanufacturing purposes after the war
C. originally envisioned as continuing to manufacture munitions at high capacity even after the war had ended
3. In the passage, the mention of “Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee” serves primarily to

1
Many scholars have argued that government investment in manufacturing in the southern United States during the Second World War spurred a regional economic boom that lasted into the postwar period.
许多学者认为，二战期间美国政府在南方对制造业的投资，直到战后仍然刺激该地区经济高速发展。
2
But much of this investment went to specialized plants, many of them unsuitable for postwar production.
但这些投资多被用于特定的工厂，其中许多不适合战后的生产。
3
Large-scale, wartime government funding led to a massive increase in the number and scale of munitions facilities.
大规模的战时政府投资，导致了军需品在数量与规模方面的巨大增长。
4
By the war’s end, 216 munitions establishment costing more than $3.5 billion had been built, many of them located in the south.
战争结束前，已建成 216 家军需品企业，耗资 35 亿美元，其中很多位于南方。
5
Indeed, according to one estimate, more than 70 percent of federally financed manufacturing construction capital in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee went into munitions plants.
实际上根据一项估算，在阿拉巴马，阿肯色，密西西比和田纳西，超过七成的联邦资助的生产建设资金流向了军需品厂。
6
Even in the northern regions with strong prewar manufacturing economics, these plants were difficult to deal with once the imperative of war had been removed.
即使是战前就拥有强大制造业经济的北方地区，没有了战争的急迫需求，也一时难以应对。
7
In the south few industrialists had the capacity or desire to transform these factories to a peacetime function.
南方没几个实业家有能力或意愿把这些工厂转型，为和平时期服务。
8
Accordingly, at war’s end almost all of the southern munitions facilities were shut down, placed on standby, operated at a very low capacity, or converted to nonmanufacturing functions, usually storage.
所以，战争结束时，南方几乎所有军需品设施都被关闭，安排待命，维持极低生产量，或转作非制造用途，通常是仓储。
9
Although some reopened a few years later for use during the Korean War, the impact of the special plants on the South’s postwar economy was marginal at best.
尽管几年后一些工厂重开，以应对朝鲜战争，但特种工厂对南方战后经济的影响最多也就是微不足道。
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. propose an alternative explanation
B. challenge a widely held position
C. contrast two views of a phenomenon
D. explain why a particular claim has been influential
E. evaluate evidence used to support a particular view
选 B
挑战一种主流观点，即句 1：
Many scholars have argued that government investment in manufacturing in the southern United States during the Second World War spurred a regional economic boom that lasted into the postwar period.
其后的内容，都是作者反驳这种观点。
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

C 强干扰项。对于二战中服役的南方兵工厂，文中出现了两种态度，作者认为它们对南方战后经济贡献不大，一种主流观点认为贡献很大 spurred a regional economic boom that lasted into the postwar period，但贡献大不等于继续开工生产军需品，这种推测是没有根据的。
3. In the passage, the mention of “Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee” serves primarily to
A. suggest that some states were better than others at anticipating postwar economic needs
B. identify evidence used to support a view held by scholars mentioned at the beginning of the passage

GRE阅读每日难句练习
No. 001
That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted.
No. 002
Hardy’s weakness derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones.
No. 003
Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics, since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the “poetic” novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.
No. 004
As she put it in The Common Reader, “It is safe to say that not a single law has been framed or one stone set upon another because of anything Chaucer said or wrote; and yet, as we read him, we are absorbing morality at every pore.”
No. 005
With the conclusion of a burst of activity, the lactic acid level is high in the body fluids, leaving the large animal vulnerable to attack until the acid is reconverted, via oxidative metabolism, by the liver into glucose, which is then sent (in part) back to the muscles for glycogen resynthesis.
No. 006
Although Gutman admits that forced separation by sale was frequent, he shows that the slaves’ preference, revealed most clearly on plantations where sale was infrequent, was very much for stable monogamy.
No. 007
Gutman argues convincingly that the stability of the Black family encouraged the transmission of – and so was crucial in sustaining – the Black heritage of folklore, music, and religious expression from one generation to another, a heritage that slaves were continually fashioning out of their African and American experiences.
No. 008
This preference for exogamy, Gutman suggests, may have derived from West African rules governing marriage, which, though they differed from one tribal group to another, all involved some kind of prohibition against unions with close kin.
No. 009
His thesis works relatively well when applied to discrimination against Blacks in the United States, but his definition of racial prejudice as “racially-based negative prejudgements against a group generally accepted as a race in any given region of ethnic competition,” can be interpreted as also including hostility toward such ethnic groups as the Chinese in California and the Jews in medieval Europe.
No. 010
Such variations in size, shape, chemistry, conduction speed, excitation threshold, and the like as had been demonstrated in nerve cells remained negligible in significance for any possible correlation with the manifold dimensions of mental experience.
GRE阅读高分应避免3个问题
GRE写作高分需要避免哪些问题
新GRE写作要避免的几点：
.避免观点重复;不要讲了几遍其实都是一个理由。当你一点就能说明的时候，非要讲三遍就显的有点STUPID了。你要从多个方面来讲道理，而且要尽量把问题具体化。
.避免观点的庸俗化，并考虑美国人能否接受的问题。比如说要避免对任何宗教词批判太多。因为你永远搞不懂给你判分的是信什么教的。不能批判任何政治理想。不能贬低自己所在的国家。美国人最讨厌不爱自己国家的人。避免观点的庸俗化，就是我们说的有些东西可以想，但是不能写出来GRE考斯作文逻辑思路分为两种。一种是问题发挥型，一种是argument/争论型。
对于问题发挥型题目，你怎么发挥，怎么犯逻辑错误都没有问题，只要你能保证你观点的正确，并能用具体的事实证明你的观点。而对于 argument/争论 型题目就不同了。它的出题方式是给你一段话，这段话后再给出一个总结。然后让你挑出它的逻辑错误。需要你作的是.它的结论或者对其加以补充。你只要拿出三点理由把它.就行了。这三点理由从哪里找呢，从文章里面找，从文章的周边关系找，从文章的背后找。
下面举一个例子：现在有一种计算机仪表设备，把它安在商用飞机上之后就必然能避免飞机在空中的碰撞。因为一架飞机发出碰撞信号后，另一架飞机就能接收这个信号并及时采取行动，从而避免飞机碰撞。
这里结论就是飞机必然能避免碰撞。你要做的就是.这个结论。它的因果关系是因为安装了仪表所以能够避免碰撞。你要说的是安装了仪表不一定能避免碰撞。现在你就要找出3点理由来。
1. 文章中没有任何统计数据告诉我们飞机的碰撞百分之百是商用飞机，因此如果避免碰撞，就要在所有飞行物上安装这种仪表。
2. 安装了仪表后，是否需要人来操作。如果是，那么因为有人的原因，就不能避免碰撞。
3. 要是这个仪表系统坏了。
4. 也没有谈到气候问题，卫星干扰问题等干扰因素……
所以Argument文章不需要你有文采，也不需要你有多么好的句子结构，它只是要求你的逻辑没有漏洞。
大家有时间的话务必把AI的提纲都列掉，然后挑重复率高的写。比如ISSUE里面有一道The GREatest indicator of a nation...。另外有一点很重要的是，特别是对于A大家在写完几篇文章以后，尽快归纳出针对每一个instruction的模板，question这种可以写成一类，然后背出来。其实老G和新G的区别就在于，老G是一套模板走天下，新G准备4个模板，就这么简单。以后自己联系的时候，就根据模板来套，写到后来你会发现，你写出来的文章，不管题目怎么换，写出来的东西看起来都一样，这样Argument算基本练成了。模板最好自己写，根据头几篇写的文章来归纳。比如说我关于specific evidence这种题型，自己归纳的模板。
The argument is well presented and appears to be relatively sound at the first glance,the author concludes that__________. However, a close scrutiny about the argument will reveal that several specific evidences should be added in order to make the argument to be more cogent and convincing, for example:_________
Initially, the author must give evidence that_________. If we were to learn that _______, it would obviously weaken the conclusion. It may turn out to be that_____. To make his assurance eloquent, he must provide more specific evidences to consummate his argument.
Secondly, in order to______, we should also be informed that_______. In the argument, the author only said that__________. It may undermine the argument that if-_______. Without knowing_______, we can hardly accept the conclusion that______
Third, the author should eliminate the disturbance of other factors, for example, he should provide evidences that _______. Perhaps_____ or perhaps________. Either of these scenarios, if true, would cast serious doubt on the author’s claim. Without accounting for all other explanations, the arguer can't reasonably conclude that___________; U% z$ w' U$ r. f“ x1 z” e; Q+ s
To sum up, the argument is far from powerful enough to substantiate that______________ Before any final decisions are made about_____________, much more specific evidences are to be put forward to make the author's argument more forceful and cogent.
真正写的时候，先把第一段和最后一段都写了，然后每段写个第一句，列出框架。最好能在第一段把你要写的内容都先简要概括一下：
话题还是回到准备A的过程上，当你归纳出模板以后，接下来要做的事情就很简单了，找到新老题库的对应表，然后自己照着新题库一题一题地把提纲列出来，不会的看一下老题是怎么写的。这个时候不需要写很多文章，只是归纳提纲就行，记住归纳的时候要把可能发生的情况写出来，因为到了考试的时候想不出可以rival的情况那不是悲剧了，比如这个题中的一个evidence：
The reason why students choose Buckingham College.
Perhaps it has qualified teachers.
Perhaps tuition fee is lower than colleges at the same level.
等你把这两件事情都做完，A的准备就差不多了，以后就是每天花半个小时左右的时间一遍遍熟悉题库。
按照这种方法，我真正准备A的时间只有5天，后来的那段时间都只是每天花半个小时写3篇作文的提纲写的话不用太多，3-4天写一篇保持手感就行了。
关于ISSUE，方法也差不多，主要的问题就是写提纲一定要仔细，把你对这个问题的观点，和引用的例子都写出来，不要想着自己能套一些Roosevelt, King什么的，想想就可以了，没有那么多例子让你套，还是要老老实实准备提纲。我写过一套完整的issue和argument的提纲，写的时候例子也放在提纲里，ISSUE跟A也一样，写完一遍提纲，自己重新看，到最后就是训练自己看到一个题，在2分钟以内迅速组织出一个比较详细的提纲。这样ISSUE的准备也就差不多了。
GRE issue写作优秀实例：意见同与不同
issue1题目：
We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.
通常，我们从与我们意见相同的人身上学到的要比从那些与我们意见相悖的人身上学的东西要多得多;(因为)意见不统一会带来压力并且阻碍学习。
正文：
From people whose views we share we get confidence, encouragement, and psychological satisfaction; from people whose views contradict our own we get new angles, fresh perspectives, and pertinent advices. But excessive agreements would lead us to the morass of self-complacence; and extreme contradictions would weaken our determination of learning. Thus we should fully recognize the potential danger of limiting our vision in one of the two sides. And only through the approach of paying equal attention to both sides could we make further achievements in the process of learning.
Views and ideas from people agree with us may raise our confidence, strengthen our courage, and enhance our psychological satisfaction. According to common sense and our everyday experience, the propensity to accept the ideas from people who agree with us rather than the opinions from people disagree with us associates strongly with the nature of human beings, for we are social animals and it is the inner instinct of us to seek for approval of others. Imagine, what would you react if the work accomplished by your arduous efforts receives fierce criticism or not even a glance? You would lose your strength to march in the long road of learning.
On the contrary, agreements may cause the feeling of being accepted and consented, thus we gain the psychological satisfaction which will impulse us to learn more. Moreover, customarily, we tend to imitate and share ideas and behaviors from our parents, friends, classmates and so forth, who are in the same group of ours. By this way we form knowledge of our own. Not under all circumstances we can learn from people whose views we share. Only base on the premises that all the views of our assenters are authentic and sincere, however, could we learn useful knowledge from them. On condition that people consent and even flatter us for certain purposes which have nothing to do with learning, our learning would be hindered instead of motivated. We would be possessed in the illusive pride and limited in a narrow bound of vision. Consequently, we can see that the speaker’s assertion is incomplete and oversimplified.
Contradicting views and ideas could aware us of the mistakes and flaws in our work which we can not discover by ourselves, bring us fresh angles and perspectives, and then make our work mature and complete. Thereby through the discussion and competition both we and the people disagree with us could make advancements in our learning. Debate on the same subject make it possible for human beings to make most of the achievements and advances on fields of science, technology, philosophy and the like. If we see only on the one side of the coin, we could get only a partial and distorted knowledge and view which might mislead our learning.
Also, contradiction may cause negative effects under certain conditions, especially when the debate becomes irrational denouncement or personal attack. Then our confidence would be impaired by the criticisms and our learning inhibited by the stress excessive contradictions brings us. Disagreements would be detrimental rather than beneficial to our learning under this circumstance.
Bias on each of the two sides is detrimental to our learning for that agreements and disagreements form a organic entity which can not be absolutely divided. Over reliance on one side is blind and unwise. Agreements base on no evidence are actually flatters; disagreements without rational reasons are reprimands. We would be enmeshed in the web of self-contention sewed by ourselves and could not go ahead if we and blinded by the flatters; we would be frozen in the chilly night of darkness created by reprimands and became helpless and hopeless. We must pay equal attentions on both sides to see the whole picture.
To sum up, ideas of people whose views we share and people whose views contradict our own play their respective role in our learning, and none of them should be neglected. Therefore, balance between both sides is needed. And only through this way could we achieve the further goal in our process of learning.
GRE issue写作优秀实例：审查的公正性
题目：
Censorship is rarely, if ever, justified.
审查很少能够做到公正。
正文：
“Censorship” is a word which seems to be authoritative rather than democratic, which implies the will of the governors rather than the will of general people. Since the occurrence of the censorship, which could be traced back to the Ancient Rome, it has been playing an important part in the domestic affairs while arousing applause and condemnation as well. Here the our government faces a dilemma, is it fair to carry on the censorship at the cost of sacrificing part of democracy, or just open the gate letting flows of ideas and thoughts in, at the risk of losing its own rampart.
Since censorship suggest an act of changing or suppressing speech, writing or any other forms of expression that is condemned as subversive of the common good, it must have a close relationship with the one who applies such supervision, and the word “common good” should be redefined under different conditions. There is time when we were all under a powerful monarchy, and the “common good” is the “monarch good”, then the censorship itself is the instrument of the monarch which solely depended on the will of the monarch; in the Middle Ages, both the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Churches practiced censorship that seemed to be oppressive to any ideas challenging the doctrines of churches and the existence of God; even now, in some authoritative countries, the censorship is used to rule its people by restricting their minds, of course, for the stability of their governing over the people. With these regards, censorship itself is questioned at the rationality of existing, regardless of the practices made by the democratic government, while the justice of the democratic government is quite doubtable.
The matter concerning is not only who practices the censorship but also how it is practiced. Since different men make different comments on the same work of art, for example, it is hard to set up a measure by which we could decide whether one should be prohibited, especially to the work of arts, as its content always labeled as “subversive” and “revolutionary”, two words detested by the governors most. Such cases could be found in Ulysses by J. Joyce and Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H Lawrence, these two great novels were firstly considered to be guilty of obscenity and were put to prohibition by the American government, but turned out to be true masterpieces today. So any form of censorship, to some extent, lags behind the development of ideas and will put more or less a negative effect on their development.
Though the censorship is such a disgusting word embodying so much oppression and might, it is a compromise we made with the reality far from being perfect, to provide a comparative stable ground which we could stand on. At this point, I don’t agree with the institute like ACLU who oppose any censorship. The censorship, though rarely justified, should exist as long as a more ideal and practical form is found to replace it, or we could only expect our God to create a more ideal species instead of imperfect human beings.
GRE阅读看文章不求甚解才是高效做法 3个高分解题技巧提升得分效率
在GRE阅读理解的虚拟语气中，往往表示应然而非然之状态，很有可能出现负评价，以态度题的方式考察。而一切过分极端的言辞，如绝对的说法，大多数，比较级尤其是强烈比较级，在文章里的出现要注意，还有一种也是强烈的对比的标志，就是以大写字母标注的时间，指明某时之前或之后，我们称之为时间强对比。
技巧一：Read carefully
诸生读新GRE阅读理解中的此类文章最大误区在于试图读懂，更有甚者，寻求文章之背景，遍寻译文，以期充分理解，虽有燃膏继晷之功，难有吴甲吞楚之效，盖此种文章，非为考生读懂而设计。更有甚者，仿阅读之结构，言辞，图作文之高分，则更加南辕北辙，缘木求鱼而已。请杀鸡诸位谨记：
这是考试，你只有13-15分钟做题，文章不是用来读懂的，对待长难句最好的办法是考虑怎么不读，少读，而不是分析。
学术文章特点就是规范，层次清晰，主题明确。
我们一定要读出套路，尤其是文章观点的数量，这个直接关系到主题题怎么出。
我们要把每段的层次的连词标记出来，我们还要知道每个层次的主题词是什么，周围有没有否定词(改善题)，有没有褒贬的词(态度题，应用题)
至于例子，也可以考虑不读或者少读，因为
新GRE阅读理解重点考观点，例子是事实，事实记得越多，混淆信息越多，做题越慢，准确率越低。对于例子，只要记住位置就可以，题目考到再看，不考坚决不看。以观点记例子，以观点分层次，以观点分逻辑关系。
技巧二：Justify every words in answer choices
这也是一个需要注意的技巧。一个具有迷惑性的错误选项都是经过加工改造的，你需要对答案里出现的每一个单词都能在原文里找到依据并且做到100%确定为什么这个答案是错误的。
做完这一步另一个重要的步骤，深入研究为什么这个选项是错的(也就是为什么这是一个GREat wrong answer)分析之后你会发现出题人的一些伎俩，避开这些陷进，你就会顺利跨入高分行列
技巧三：排除法做题
随着GRE阅读出题陷阱越来越多，很难保证你看到的“正确答案”就是正确的。很有可能B跟E比，E更正确，但是你连看都没看E。针对错误类型主要有几大类
①Out of Scope
②One word wrong
③Contradiction
④True but irrelevant
⑤Too extreme

求职者应该避免以下18个话题：
1.先前雇主产权性机密资料。不仅不该露，还会让面试官认为你这个人不值得信任。
2.最近离婚的“惊悚”细节。即使一切属实，提到这个话题则会显示你这个人不够谨慎。
3.内心的性别或种族偏见。你或许以为面试官与你志同道合因而大书特书，其实这样不啻是自掘坟墓，职场里不容许性别和种族歧视存在。
4.政治话题。
5.宗教话题。
6.心爱的明星球队或运动员。你最喜欢的可能是面试官最讨厌的，即使官凭这一点就反对你很不合理性，可是也无可厚非。
7.子女或孙子女甚至到自吹自擂的地步。即使面试官桌上摆着自己的家庭照，你的口袋里塞满成叠小孩照片颇不符合面试的场合。
8.为面试官取得某物或某种特殊商品的提议。举例来说，“我能为你买到批发价”或许是事实，或换了个场景会表现出你待人的热忱，可是在面试则格格不入，而且会显得你在贿赂面试官。
9.谈到你刚搬离之某地区的天气或交通，或任何风土人物，你把它们批评得体无完肤。(你也许碰巧批评到面试官的家乡，而面试官又正巧深感怀乡之情。)
10.你如何地厌恶数学、科学或其他特别学科，虽然表面上看来似乎与此职位无关。(公司主管阶级也许正巧期望员工擅长数理。)
11.丝毫无益于前途的个人憎恶。举例来说，你提到如果你不幸天生一头红发，你绝对会把它染成另外一种颜色，而你也许会发现公司总裁碰巧就生了一头火焰般的红发。当然，守时就是很安全的话题，譬如说你这人十分准时，对老爱迟到的人感到很头痛。
12.抱怨面试官让你久等，或你填写工作申请表或接受打字测验的房间热得会烤死人。你想表现给面试官的是你的积极面，一味抱怨则适得其反。
13.老提大人物名号以自抬身价。举例说，你前任老板是个室内设计师，你曾协助她装潢某位名人的宅邸，名人的排场和派头并不值得你大书特书。假使你真的与某些社交名流为友，留心别造成你在吹嘘自己的印象。
14.透露力有未逮之处。举例说，由于家累，你无法同意下午五点以后留下来加班，你没有必要主动自暴其短。这条策略当然也有例外，如果雇主明言员工必须同意偶尔留下来加班，而且这是该职位的先决条件，你就一定得实话实说。请记住：某些状况临场会有变化，要自行斟酌;万一到时候公司对你提出某种特殊要求，说不定你的状况已有改变。
15.谈话偶尔会陷于沈默，为了化解冷场的情况，你脑中浮现的念头，不可随意脱口而出。务必叁思而后言。
16.漫无焦点的闲扯淡。你回答完问题或作完一段评论，就此打住，等待下文。话点到为止，喋喋不休徒然无益。
17.将面试官赞美得天花乱 。即使你诚心佩服其人，在这种情况下，你的赞美可能遭到误解。当然，你可以这麽说：“与您面晤是一种愉悦，谢谢您。”
18.负面的肢体语言。千万不可坐没坐相，掇弄头发或修指甲，或偷偷脱下鞋子。
你在求职面试的历程中，可能会于以上的清单外再增添一些项目。要记下任何心得，下回赴约面试之前，记得再浏览一遍。
我是做销售的(外销)昨天刚转正。以前的日子在公司就是学习了。
也没有正式让我去实践过。现在要自己战斗了。可是心里感觉很是没有底气。不知道自己到底能不能胜任这份工作。大家给出个注意啊。
有好的经验交流下。谢谢拉
1、“想”，即销售员应该具备一定的策划能力。
多数厂家的驻外销售员是在指定的区域市场开展销售工作。厂家给销售员设定一个销售任务，提供一定的保底工资、差旅费、宣传资料等资源，该区域所有销售工作包括市场调研、市场规划、客户开发、客户管理、投诉处理等基础性工作都要销售员亲力亲为。要做好这一切，确保所负责的区域市场销售持续健康发展，首先，销售员必须对其所负责的区域市场有一个整体的市场规划，包括阶段性销售目标、销售网络如何布局、选择什么样的经销商、以什么样的产品和价格组合切入、采取什么样的促销方式等;其次，销售员在开发经销商和管理经销商过程中，经常会碰到很多问题，如经销商抱怨产品价格过高、要求做区域总代理、要求厂家垫底资金、控制厂家的发展、质量事故等，销售员要处理好这些问题，必须运用一些策略，而这些策略，就需要销售员精心地策划;再次，销售员还应该充当经销商的顾问与帮手，发现经销商在发展过程中的机会与问题、对经销商的发展提供指导、帮助经销商策划促销活动和公关活动等。只有区域销售员是一个策划高手，才有可能使所负责的市场销售业绩更快更稳健地增长;只有区域销售员帮助所负责的经销商出谋划策，才能赢得经销商的信赖与认可，才能充分利用和发挥经销商的分销功能，确保销售网络的健康与稳定。
2、“听”，即销售员应该具备倾听的能力。
在开发经销商的过程中，很多销售员不管经销商愿不愿意听，上门就叽哩呱啦：自己的产品是多么多么好，自己的产品功能是多么多么齐全，自己的公司是多么多么优秀，经销商代理销售这种产品能带来多么多么丰厚的利益。不妨注意一下，以这种方式推销产品的销售员，大部分都是无功而返。实际上，不管是开发经销商还是处理客户投诉，倾听比说更重要。为什么呢?一是倾听可以使你弄清对方的性格、爱好与兴趣;二是倾听可以使你了解对方到底在想什么、对方的真正意图是什么;三是倾听可以使对方感觉到你很尊重他、很重视他的想法，使他放开包袱与顾虑;四是当对方对厂家有很多抱怨时，倾听可以使对方发泄，消除对方的怒气;五是倾听可以使你有充分的时间思考如何策略性地回复对方。销售员如何倾听呢?一是排除干扰、集中精力，以开放式的姿态、积极投入的方式倾听客户的陈述;二是听清全部内容，整理出关键点，听出对方话语中的感情色彩;三是重复听到的信息，快速记录关键词，提高倾听的记忆效果;四是以适宜的肢体语言回应，适当提问，适时保持沉默，使谈话进行下去。
3、“写”，即销售员应该具备撰写一般公文的能力。
很多营销主管可能都有这样的经历：经常有销售员以电话的方式向你汇报，这个竞争对手在搞促销，那个竞争对手在降价，请求你给予他政策上的支持。当你要他写一个书面报告时，销售员要么是不能按时将报告传回，要么就是写回来的报告层次不清，意图不明确。为什么会出现这种情况呢?因为很多销售员根本不会写报告或者写不好报告。如何提高销售员写的能力呢?一是销售主管在销售员汇报工作和要求政策支持时，尽可能地要求他们以书面的形式报告;二是针对销售员，聘请专业人士进行公文写作培训，或者购买有关书籍组织销售员学习;三是要求并且鼓励销售员多写一些销售体会方面的文章，并在企业内部刊物或一些专业性杂志上发表，对成功发表文章的给予适当的奖励。
4、“说”，即销售员应该具备一定的说服能力。
销售员是厂家的驻地代表，厂家的基本情况、产品特点、销售政策都是通过销售员向经销商传递的。销售员在与经销商沟通厂家政策时，有的经销商很快就明白并理解了厂家的意图，有的经销商对厂家的意图不了解或者了解但不理解，有的经销商对厂家很反感甚至断绝与厂家的合作关系。为什么会出现这些情况?原因就在于不同的销售员说服能力不一样。销售员如何提高自己的说服能力?一是销售员正式说服经销商之前，要做充分的准备：首先，通过提问的方式向和经销商相关的人或经销商本人了解经销商的需求，即他在想什么、想要得到什么、担心什么，以便对症下药;其次，针对经销商的需求，拟定说服计划，把怎样说服经销商、从哪些关键点去触动他写下来，牢记在自己心中;再次，说话要生动、具体、可操作性强，在销售说服过程中，要具体讲到何时、何地、何人、用何种方法、实施后可达到何种效果;最后，多站在经销商的角度，帮助他分析他的处境，使他了解厂家的政策能够帮助他改善他的处境，向他解释厂家的政策具体操作方法，描述执行厂家政策后能给他带来的利益与价值。
5、“教”，即销售员应该具备一定的教练能力。
优秀的销售员之所以能保持较高的销售业绩，是因为他能有效地整合资源，能够将他所辖区域市场的经销商、经销商的销售员、经销商的终端网点客户通过培训与指导的方式提高其经营水平和经营能力，使其都像自己一样优秀。销售员教经销商、经销商的销售员、终端网点客户什么呢?一是产品知识，教会他们产品的工艺过程、主要配方、主要卖点、与竞品的区别、特性与功能、使用方法等;二是经营方法，教会他们如何做市场规划、如何开发下线客户、如何管理下线客户、如何与下线客户建立良好的客情关系、如何处理下线客户的异议与投诉等;三是指导经营，不断发现经销商及经销商的销售员在实际操作过程中存在的问题，如铺货不到位、区域市场开发缓慢、有效销售时间效率低下等，向其提出改善建议与意见，从而提高销售执行力。
6、“做”，即销售员应该具备很强的执行能力。
很多销售主管也许都有这样的经历：下属销售员月初拍着胸脯向你保证，这个月一定能完成什么样的销售目标，同时也有达成销售目标的一系列策略与措施，但每到月底销售计划总是落空。为什么会出现这种偏差呢?销售员执行力不高。很多销售员月初、月中一般都无所事事，到了月底就像热锅上的蚂蚁，不断地催促经销商报计划、回款。一个经销商的分销能力不是完全由经销商说了算，是要看他有多少终端网点，这些终端网点又有多少是有效的、可控的。而这一切，都需要销售员日复一日年复一年地扎扎实实地沉到底才能了解到位。所以，销售员必须具备很强的执行能力。销售员如何提高自己的执行能力呢?一是销售员应该有清晰的目标，包括年度销售目标、月度销售目标、每天的销售目标;二是销售员应该养成做计划的习惯，特别是日工作计划，当天晚上就确定好第二天的销售计划，计划好什么时候、花多长时间、到哪里去拜访什么客户、与客户达成什么共识等;三是销售员应该养成检讨的习惯，每天回到住所，对当天的销售计划完成情况、销售成功点和失败点、存在的问题与需要厂家支持事项等进行简单回顾与总结，并将其写在销售日
[面试时应避免的问题]
GRE阅读高分策略
一、排除题的解题方法
1.精确定位排除法：
将选项精确的在文中定位，找出选项和阅读文章中的对应关系，注意选项中的同义代换与原文是否对应。有时会出现这样的情况，选项中有四个是和题目的关键词定位在一个段内的，但其中一个选项却定位在了另一个段落内，那么这个选项就是答案。
注意：正确答案一般是作者在文中明确反对过的，或者是根本未提到，再或者就是定位的段落未提到的(选项的关键词落在别的段落)说法。
2.强对比排除法：
如果题目中是关于A的提问，但是原文中没有直接给出与A相关的描述。不过，文中出现了与B相关的特征描述，而B呢正好是与A形成强烈对比的对象。那么我们只需要把B的特征取非就可以得到答案了。一般文章中会出现unlike，in contrast to, compared with,阅读的过程中遇到该类别的关键词注意要做笔记。
3.无关信息排除法:
如果某一个选项和文章大意没有关系或者根本没有提到过，那么它一定就是正确答案了。因此，在阅读的过程中要留意文章每段的中心意思，理出文章的写作思路，以此来作为细节判断的依据。
如果能够将题目定位到某一段，那么就可以用该段的TS(Topic Sentence 主题句)来进行排除，和TS无关的就是正确选项。
二、举例说明：
下面是No.5-2题目中的一道长阅读，我把它的第一段截取了出来：
In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement, historians have focused a GREat deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods. Although much has been (5) accomplished for the modern period, premodern cultures have proved more difficult: sources are restricted in eg. number, fragmentary, difficult to interpret, and often contradictory. Thus it is not particularly surprising that some earlier scholarship concerning such cultures (10) has so far gone unchallenged. An example is Johann Bachofen’s 1861 treatise on Amazons, women-ruled societies of questionable existence contemporary with ancient GREece.
1.识别重要信息，做标记
在读的过程中我们注意到上文阴影部分出现了典型的并列成分(标志：冒号，“A, B and C结构”)，读到后马上做记号(比如，我在文章右侧，标上了eg)。
中文翻译：
在很大程度上，由于女权主义运动(feminist movement)的缘故，史学家近年来汇聚了大量的注意力，来更为准确地确定妇女在各个历史时期的地位。虽然对现当代的研究成就斐然，但古代文化的研究要证明更为困难：资料来源数量有限，支离破碎，难于解释，且经常互相矛盾。因此，人们并不特别惊讶地发现，有关这些古代文化的早期学术研究迄今为止听凭其流传下来，而未遭到质疑。其中一个实例就是约翰·巴霍芬(Johann Bachofen)1861年论述亚马孙人(Amazons)的论文，而所谓亚马孙人，即那些由女性统治的社会，其难置可否的存在与古希腊时值同期。
2.例题解析
不出所料，后文果然出现了except题:
All of the following are stated by the author as problems connected with the sources for knowledge of premodern cultures EXCEPT
(A) partial completeness
(B) restricted accessibility
(C) difficulty of interpretation
(D) limited quantity
(E) tendency toward contradiction
通过”premodern cultures”或者“problems with sources”定位到上文中划阴影部分。5个选项都比较眼熟，一下子无法通过TS找出与原文没有关系的选项，也没有出现强对比。因此，选用精确定位排除法来进行解答，找出选项和原文的对应关系。
我们可以发现A选项partial completeness与fragmentary对应，说明资料来源的支离破碎(不完整性)，C选项difficulty of interpretation与原文的difficult to interpret对应，两者几乎都没有进行改写，只有词性的改变。D选项limited quantity与原文restricted in number相对应。E选项tendency toward contradiction与原文的contradictory相应。只有B没有找到相对应的并列成分。因此答案选B。
三、排除题相关的语言现象——列举，句子的并列成分，冒号
1.列举：
所谓列举，就是在文章中出现对某一对象的几个特征进行的逐条描述，比如first,...,second..., third... 遇到这样的语言现象赶紧做好标记，因为这个语言现象经常会考except题。
2.句子的并列成分
比如X includes A, B and C,这里的A B C就是句子的并列成分。这种结构也常考排除题。通常是有4个选项分别约ABC等成分相对应，而其中有一个成分找不到对应，或者是与原文意思不符。
3.冒号
冒号后面也常会出现列举现象，因此，遇到的话一定要标出来。后面的内容可以大致浏览或者不看。

1. Aedes albopictus, a variety of mosquito that has recently established itself in the southeastern United States, is less widespread than the indigenous swamp mosquito. Both the swamp mosquito and A. albopictus can carry viruses that are sometimes fatal to humans, but A. albopictus is a greater danger to public health. Each of the following, if true, provides additional information that strengthens the judgment given about the danger to public health EXCEPT:
(A) Unlike the swamp mosquito, A. albopictus originated in Asia, and larvae of it were not observed in the United States before the mid- 1980's.
(B) Unlike the swamp mosquito, A. albopictus tends to spend most of its adult life near human habitation.
(C) Unlike swamp mosquito larvae, A. albopictus larvae survive in flower pots, tin cans, and many small household objects that hold a little water.
(D) In comparison with the swamp mosquito, A. albopictus hosts a much wider variety of viruses known to cause serious diseases in humans.
(E) A. albopictus seeks out a much wider range of animal hosts than does the swamp mosq-uito, and it is more likely to bite humans.
2. The Environmental Protection Agency must respond to the hazard to children's health posed by exposure to asbestos fibers released in the air in school classrooms. Since it is impossible to close school buildings, the best plan would be to initiate programs that mandate the immediate removal of asbestos from all the school buildings that are found to contain asbestos, regardless of whether or not the buildings are in use. Which of the following, if true, is the strongest reason for the Environmental Protection Agency not to follow the plan outlined above?
(A) The techniques available for removing asbestos often increase the level of airborne asbestos.

(C) Children exposed to airborne asbestos run a greater risk of developing cancer than do adults exposed to airborne asbestos.
(D) The cost of removing asbestos varies from school to school, depending on accessibility and the quantity of asbestos to be removed.
(E) It is impossible to determine with any degree of certainty if and when construction materials that contain asbestos will break down and release asbestos fibers into the air.
3. A person's cholesterol level will decline significantly if that person increases the number of meals eaten per day, but only if there is no significant increase in the amount of food eaten. However, most people who increase the number of meals they eat each day will eat a lot more food as well. If the statements above are true, which of the following is most strongly supported by them?
(A) For most people, cholesterol level is not significantly affected by the amount of food eaten per day.
(B) For most people, the amount of food eaten per meal is most strongly affected by the time of day at which the meal is eaten.
(C) For most people, increasing the number of meals eaten per day will not result in a significantly lower cholesterol level.
(D) For most people, the total amount of food eaten per day is unaffected by the number of mealseaten per day.
(E) For most people, increasing the number of meals eaten per day will result in a significant change in the types of food eaten.
4. A certain type of dinnerware made in Ganandia contains lead. Lead can leach into acidic foods, and Ganandians tend to eat highly acidic foods. However, the extreme rarity of lead poisoning in Ganandia indicates that the dinnerware does not contain dangerous amounts of lead. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) The dinnerware is produced exclusively for sale outside Ganandia.
(B) Ganandian foods typically are much more acidic than foods anywhere else in the world.
(C) The only source of lead poisoning in Ganandia is lead that has leached into food.
(D) Most people who use the dinnerware are not aware that it contains lead.
(E) Acidic foods can leach lead from dinnerware even if that dinnerware has a protective coating.
5. Sergeant Our police academy no longer requires its applicants to pass a physical examination before being admitted to the academy. As a result, several candidates with weak hearts and high blood pressure have been admitted. Hence, we can expect our future police force to have more health problems than our current police force. Knowledge of each of the following would be relevant to determining the reliability of the sergeant's prediction EXCEPT whether
(A) police officer candidates are screened for high blood pressure before joining the police force
(B) the police officer candidates who are not healthy now are likely to be unhealthy as police officers
(C) graduates of the police academy are required to pass a physical examination
(D) the health of the current police officer candidates is worse than was the health of police officer candidates in the past
(E) a police officer's health is a reliable indicator of the officer's performance
6. Because adult iguanas on Plazos Island are much smaller than adult iguanas of the same species on nearby islands, researchers assumed that environmental conditions on Plazos favor the survival of relatively smaller baby iguanas (hatchlings) in each yearly brood. They discovered instead that for each of the past three years, 10 percent of the smaller and 40 percent of the larger hatchlings survived, because larger hatchlings successfully evade their predators. Which of the following, if true about Plazos but not about nearby islands, contributes most to an explanation of the long-standing tendency of iguanas on Plazos to be smaller than those of the same age on nearby islands?
(A) Periodic wind shifts cause extended dry spells on Plazos every year, putting the larger iguanas, whose bodies require relatively more water, at a great disadvantage.
(B) There are exactly three species of iguanas on Plazos but only two species of seagulls that feed on iguanas, and a relatively small percentage of each year's hatchlings are consumed by seagulls.
(C) Wild cats, which were introduced as pets by early settlers and which were formerly major predators of Plazos iguanas, were recently killed off by a disease specific to cats.
(D) The iguanas on Plazos are a relatively ancient part of the island's animal life.
(E) Both land and marine iguanas live on Plazos, and the land iguanas tend to be larger than marine iguanas of the same age
7. Every human being who has ever lived had two parents. Therefore, more people were alive threethousand years ago than are alive now. The reasoning in the argument is flawed because it
(A) overlooks the number of people in each generation during the last three thousand years who left no descendants
(B) disregards possible effects of disasters such as famines and plagues on human history
(C) overestimates the mathematical effect of repeated doublings on population size
(D) fails to take into account that people now alive have overlapping sets of ancestors
(E) fails to consider that accurate estimation of the number of people alive three thousand years ago might be impossible
8. Each of the academic journals Thought and Ergo has a review committee to prevent misattributed quotations from appearing in its published articles. Nevertheless, about ten percent of the quotations in Thought's published articles are misattributed, whereas Ergo contains no misattributions. Ergo's committee is more effective, therefore, than Thought's at finding misattributed quotations. The argument above assumes that
(A) most of the articles submitted to Thought for publication contain misattributed quotations
(B) there are at least some misattributed quotations in articles submitted to Ergo for publication
(C) the members of Ergo's committee are, on the whole, more knowledgeable than are the members of Thought's committee
(D) the number of misattributed quotations in a journal is an accurate measure of how carefully that journal is edited
(E) the authors who submit articles to Ergo for publication are more thorough in attributing quotations than are the authors who submit articles to Thought
9. In the last few decades, grassy wetlands, essential to the nesting and breeding of ducks, geese, swans, and most other species of waterfowl, have been extensively drained and cultivated in southern Canada and the northern United States, Duck populations in North American have plummeted during this time, but populations of swans and geese have been affected less dramatically. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the difference mentioned above?
(A) Prohibition of hunting of waterfowl is easier to enforce in areas under cultivation than in wild lands.
(B) Most geese and swans nest and breed farther north than ducks do, in areas that still are not cultivated.
(C) Land that has been harvested rarely provides food suitable for waterfowl.
(D) Goose and swan populations decline in periods of drought, when breeding sites are fewer.
(E) Because they are larger than ducks, geese and swans have a harder time finding protected nesting sites in areas that are cultivated.
10. A researcher found that, in proportion to their body weights, children eat more carbohydrates than adults do. Children also exercise more than adults do. The researcher hypothesized that carbohydrate consumption varies in direct proportion to the calorie demands associated with different levels of exercise. Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the researcher's hypothesis?
(A) More carbohydrates are eaten per capita in nations where the government spends more per capita on public exercise programs.
(B) Children who do not participate in organized sports tend to eat fewer carbohydrates than children who participate in organized sports.
(C) Consumption of increased amounts of carbohydrates is a popular tactic of runners preparing for long-distance races.
(D) Periods of physical growth require a relatively higher level of carbohydrate consumption than otherwise.
(E) Though carbohydrates are necessary for the maintenance of good health, people who consume more carbohydrates are not necessarily healthier.
11. Experts removed a layer of eighteenth-century red paint from a figure in a painting by a sixteenth-century Italian artist, revealing a layer of green paint underneath. Since the green paint dates from the sixteenth century, the figure must have been green, not red, when the painting was completed in 1563.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
(A) The experts had been commissioned to restore the painting to the colors it had when it was completed.
(B) X-rays reveal an additional layer of paint beneath the green paint on the figure.
(C) Chemical analyses were used to determine the ages of the red paint and the green paint.
(D) The red paint was added in the eighteenth century in an attempt to repair damage done in the late seventeenth century.
(E) Red paint on the robe of another figure in the painting dates from the sixteenth century.
12. Whenever a French novel is translated into English, the edition sold in Britain should be in British English. If the edition sold in Britain were in American English, its idioms and spellings would appear to British readers to be strikingly American and thus to conflict with the novel's setting. The recommendation is based on which of the following assumptions?
(A) The authors of French novels are usually native speakers of French.
(B) A non-British reader of a novel written in British English will inevitably fail to understand the meanings of some of the words and idioms in the novel.
(C) No French novel that is to be sold in Britain in English translation is set in the United States.
(D) A British reader of a British novel will notice that the idioms and spellings used in the novel are British.
(E) Most French novels are not translated into both British English and American English.
13. Although it is assumed that peacocks' magnificent tails function essentially to attract peahens, no one knows why it should be magnificent tails that give a competitive advantage in securing mates. One explanation is that peahens are more likely to mate with peacocks with magnificent tails than with peacocks that lack magnificent tails. Which of the following is an error of reasoning exemplified by the explanation?
(A) Attributing to animals qualities that are characteristically human
(B) Extending a conclusion that is true of only one species of a genus to all species of the genus
(C) Offering as an explanation a hypothesis that in principle can be neither verified nor proved false
(D) Offering the phenomenon that is to be explained as the explanation of that phenomenon
(E) Assuming without warrant that peacocks with magnificent tails are likely to have other features strongly attractive to peahens
