The area of literary rights

The area of literary rights is confusing for scholars whose work focuses on collaborative materials particularly materials of earlier Native American writers. Questions arise over authorship and the determination of literary heirs . For example, recognition of heirs turns on the European-based assumption of the private ownership of a written statement.

50D

 还有50天，可是备考状态大不如以前，单词记得慢又少，verbal部分错的多，阅读还是一到长阅读就懵。文学评论和历史还是错误百出，要怎么继续提高，作文也写到麻木，真的能坚持自己最初的想法到最后吗？ 实验进度也慢，不知道自己整天在干嘛，没有提高却每天都很忙，可能需要转换复习的方式，将holostudy转成specific，一项一项慢慢来比较好。 那目前最需要解决的便是verbal部分，reading和tc，tc做的慢，每次到reading都没有时间，继续定时做题，提高做题效率和理解能力，主要还是英文水平不够高，理解不到位且花的时间多。
