In order to improve the long-term savings rate of its citizens, Levaska’s
government has decided to introduce special savings accounts. Citizens can
save up to $3,000 a year in special accounts without having to pay tax on the
interest, unless they withdraw money from the account before they reach the
age of sixty-five. If they do withdraw any money before that age, they have
to pay tax on the accumulated interest and a penalty.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously threatens the success of the
government's plan?
A. The banks and financial institutions where the special accounts will be
held lobbied hard for their introduction.
B. Nearly all workers in Levaska can already save money in tax-free accounts
through their workplace.
C. For the past ten years, Levaskans have been depositing an ever smaller
percentage of their income in long-term savings.
D. Many Levaskans continue to work beyond the age of sixty-five.
E. In certain circumstances, such as a serious illness, the government plans
to waive the penalty on early withdrawals from the special accounts.

看了CD上的詳解，解釋Ｂ說L這個地方的所有公民已經開設了這樣一個免稅帳戶。言下之意
說政府這個特殊帳戶沒什麼吸引力。
但一開始在寫Ｂ選項時不覺得是這個意思啊，Ｂ不就是說幾乎所有在Ｌ的worker都可以從
他們工作的地方把錢存進這個政府所推動的免稅帳戶嗎??
這不見代表著讓這個政策更為方便應該是支持才對啊
選項(E)在特殊情況像是嚴重的疾病，政府計畫取消對那些提早提款的處罰
這不才是ｗｅａｋｅｎ政府實施這個計畫的成功性嗎？

A study followed a group of teenagers who had never smoked and tracked whether
they took up smoking and how their mental health changed. After one year, the
incidence of depression among those who had taken up smoking was four times as
high as it was among those who had not. Since nicotine in cigarettes changes
brain chemistry, perhaps thereby affecting mood, it is likely that smoking
contributes to depression in teenagers.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. Participants who were depressed at the start of the study were no more
likely to be smokers after one year than those who were not depressed.
B. The study did not distinguish between participants who smoked only
occasionally and those who were heavy smokers.
C. Few, if any, of the participants in the study were friends or relatives of
other participants.
D. Some participants entered and emerged from a period of depression within the
year of the study.
E. The researchers did not track use of alcohol by the teenagers.
正解(A)
這題在做時有點選不太出來，一樣看了ＣＤ上的詳解覺得翻譯怪怪的
ＣＤ:A選項說參與這項調查的那些吸煙的孩子，在沒吸煙之前並不比那些不吸煙的孩子更
加容易患上抑鬱症，意思是說大家都是一樣的，確實是尼古丁造成的
而我個人對Ａ選項的翻譯是
那些在研究一開始就depressed的參加者，一年後和那些一開始沒depressed的參加者相比
也較不會成為會抽菸的人
題幹敘述的是 抽菸＝＞depressed 但A好像因果導致 depressed＝＞抽菸
而且題意前提是說:研究一開始都不會抽菸的孩子，一年後如果有抽菸的孩子比那些沒抽菸
的孩子有較高機會患有depressed
不是像ＣＤ說的"調查的都是吸菸的孩子"吧??
這題到底該如何求解
有請各路高手幫忙解惑了
感激 <(_ _)>
