Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
Great discoveries often occur when a person explore the unknown, venturing far from what is familiar. But important breakthroughs — innovative solutions to difficult problems, for example — can also result when people take the time to look closely at their daily surroundings. In fact, the greatest discoveries often occur when people recognize in their familiar surroundings certain opportunities that others have overlooked or when people recognize that the way things have always been done is unjust or ineffective or unnecessary.
Assignment:
Do people make the greatest discoveries by exploring what is unfamiliar to them or by paying close attention to what seems familiar?
1. 题目翻译:
伟大的发现往往发生于某个人探索未知,大胆的远离熟悉事物。但是重要的突破——比如解决困难问题的创新方法——也能够在人们仔细观察他们日常生活的时候产生。事实上,最重要的发现经常发生于,当人们意识到一些机会存在于他们原本忽视的熟悉的环境的时候,或者当人们意识到以往处理事情的方式并不是合理的,或有效的,或必要的时候。
题目:人们取得的最重大的发现,是通过探索他们所不熟悉的事物,还是仔细专注于他们熟悉的事物?

Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
In business, the term "personal brand" describes how companies define themselves and differentiate their products from those of other companies. People, too, are often advised to develop a kind of personal brand or style—to make themselves stand out from other people by developing unique characteristics. Nowadays, people who want to be successful in school, at work, or in their personal relationships must emphasize their differences from their peers in the same way that companies emphasize their differences from their competitors.
Assignment:
Do people succeed by emphasizing their differences from other people?
1. 题目翻译:
在商业中,“个人品牌”这个术语描述的是公司如何定义他们自己,并且如何将它们的产品和其他的公司区分出来。同样,人们经常被建议显露出一种个人的品牌或风格——通过显露独特的个性来让他们从人群中脱颖而出。今天,想要在学校,工作,或者他们的人际关系中成功的人,必须强调他们和其他人之间的差别,就像公司强调他们自己和竞争者的差别一样。
题目:人们的成功是否是通过强调他们和别人比的与众不同之处?
2. 审题关键词:Success, Difference and similarity

反:However, to achieve success, it is necessary to share some points with others

SAT-1010-W-4Asia
Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
Some people say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, meaning that when you are in a new culture, place, or setting, it is best to change your behavior to adapt to the rules and customs of your new surroundings. But does that old saying still apply in today’s world? Isn’t the world better off when people facing a change — whether it is a transfer to a new school, the start of a new job, or travel to a foreign country — retain their individuality and way of life instead of changing?
Assignment:
Should people adapt to their new surroundings, or should they refuse to change?
1. 题目翻译:
有些人说,入乡随俗,意思是当你在一个新的文化,地方或者环境下,最好改变你的行为,以用来适应你新环境的规则和习俗。但这个说法仍然适用于今天的世界吗?当人们面临改变——无论是转学到新学校,开始新的工作,或者旅行到外国——保持他们的个性以及生活方式而非改变的时候,这难道不好吗?

SAT-1101-W-4Asia
Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
People in our goal-oriented society place far too much emphasis on the outcomes of what they do. As a result, they miss out on the most important part of attempting anything: the process itself. The process of trying to achieve something is always more meaningful and enjoyable than reaching the final goal. Whether we succeed or fail, it is the process—how we go about achieving the goal—that matters most.
Assignment:
Does the process of doing something matter more than the outcome?
1. 题目翻译:
在当今目标导向型的社会,人们太多的强调他们所做成的结果。因此,他们错过了完成任何事情的最重要的部分:事情的过程本身。尝试实现某件事情的过程往往比实现最终目标更有意义,更有趣。不管我们成功或失败,最重要的是过程——即,我们是如何完成目标的。
题目:完成某件事情的过程是否比结果更重要?
2. 审题关键词:Process and result, Value

补:The process matters more than the outcome
SAT-1105-W-4Asia
Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
Many people think that success is impossible without help and support from others. They believe that even the strongest and most successful leaders need advisers to define their goals, and followers to carry out their plans. Real success, however, cannot be claimed by those who need others to solve their problems and help them confront obstacles. Only those whose accomplishments are truly their own can claim to be successful.
Assignment:
Is real success achieved only by people who accomplish goals and solve problems on their own?
1. 题目翻译:
许多人认为,不需要别人的帮助和支持就获得成功是不可能的。他们相信,即使是最有力的以及最成功的领导者都需要顾问来定义他们的目标,需要追随者来实现他们的计划。然而,那些需要别人来解决他们的问题并且帮助他们直面障碍的人,并不能被称为是真正的成功。仅仅是那些属于自己的成就才能被成为成功。
题目:真正的成功,是否仅仅是那些靠自己完成目标和解决问题的人才能实现的?
2. 审题关键词:Success, Help
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:

正:It is also important to cooperate with others
补:People cannot achieve real success merely by themselves
SAT-1110-W-4Asia
Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
Although most of us do not like being criticized, it is said that we can always benefit from being told what we are doing wrong. We may lose a valuable learning opportunity if we do not listen to the criticisms expressed by others. Yet criticism, even when honest and well-intended, can be more harmful than helpful. We have more to gain by ignoring or shielding ourselves from the criticisms of others.
Assignment:
Are people better off if they do not listen to criticism?
1. 题目翻译:
尽管我们大多数并不喜欢被批评,但我们往往能够从被批评当中受益。如果我们不听从别人表达的批评,我们可能会损失宝贵的学习机会。然而批评,甚至是诚实和好意的批评,都有可能弊大于利。通过忽略或者屏蔽别人的批评,我们能得到更多。
题目:如果不听从批评,人们是否能变得更好?
2. 审题关键词:Criticism, Function
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:
正:Some people indeed benefited from ignoring criticism
反:But criticism can also help people make progress

SAT-1201-W-4Asia
Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
We almost always tend to treat people on the basis of what they have done: the star athlete is recognized and rewarded with a college scholarship, while the lawbreaker is prosecuted and punished. But our past deeds provide only a partial measure of our real worth as human beings. We should be treated according to what we are capable of accomplishing, regardless of what we may or may not have actually done.
Assignment:
Should people be treated according to what they are capable of achieving instead of what they have actually done?
1. 题目翻译:
我们往往总是倾向于按照别人的成就来对待别人:明星运动员会被认可并授予大学的奖学金,然而违法的人会被起诉和惩罚。但是,我们过去的行为,仅仅为我们作为人类真实的价值提供了片面的参考。我们应当根据我们能做什么来被对待,无论我们能或者没能完成某些事情。
题目:应当根据别人能做什么而不是做过了什么,来对待别人吗?

SAT-1205-W-4Asia
Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
Advertisements provide information about available products and services. Many people argue, however, that something else is going on: advertisements try to convince people that when they buy things, they are also buying satisfaction and happiness. Advertisements merely fool people into believing that the next “new and improved” product will make their lives better, and the result is that people are even more unhappy and dissatisfied than they would have been without the advertisements.
Assignment:
Do advertisements contribute to unhappiness and dissatisfaction?
1. 题目翻译:
广告提供了可行的产品和服务的信息。但是,许多人认为事情并非如此:广告尝试着说服人们,当他们进行购买东西时,他们同样在购买满意和幸福。广告仅仅欺骗人们相信,接下来的“全新更好的”产品能让他们的生活变得更好,而结果却是,人们甚至比在没有广告的情况下更不快乐和不满意。
题目:广告是否有助于不幸福和不满意?
2. 审题关键词:Advertisement, Function
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:
正:There are indeed some advertisements that can improve people’s lives

SAT-1210-W-4Asia
Prompt: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
Studies of creativity often focus primarily on writers, artists, composers, and scientists. Political leaders are not usually considered to be very creative. Indeed, it is sometimes said that it is a good thing that leaders in general are not very creative, since an excess of creativity, especially in leaders who have to enforce rules, would only lead to trouble. Yet surely some degree of creativity is desirable in all walks of life.
Assignment:
Do all people need to be creative?
1. 题目翻译:
创造力的研究常常主要专注于作家,艺术家,作曲家和科学家。。的确,有的时候,通常的领袖并不是非常有创造力是件好事,因为过分的创造力,特别是那些不得不强加规则的领袖,仅仅会导致麻烦。然而,可以确定的是,某种程度的创造力对于生活中的所有方面都是有利的。
题目:所有的人们都需要有创造力吗?
2. 审题关键词:Creativity,Value
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:
正:For artists and scientists, creativity is indeed essential
反:But creativity is also crucial to people in the other realms
补:Creativity matters to everyone
