Issue

9. "Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal
system because moral behavior cannot be legislated."

113. "Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work
makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they
pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those
interests may seem."


Argument

76. The following appeared as part of an article in a local Beauville newspaper.
"According to a government report, last year the city of Dillton reduced its
corporate tax rate by 15 percent; at the same time, it began offering
relocation grants and favorable rates on city utilities to any company that
would relocate to Dillton. Within 18 months, two manufacturing companies
moved to Dillton, where they employ a total of 300 people. Therefore, the
fastest way for Beauville to stimulate economic development and hence reduce
unemployment is to provide tax incentives and other financial inducements
that encourage private companies to relocate here."

should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."

9. "Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal
system because moral behavior cannot be legislated."


Argument

80. The following appeared in a memo at the XYZ company. "When XYZ lays off
employees, it pays Delany Personnel Firm to offer those employees assistance
in creating resumès and developing interviewing skills, if they so desire.
Laid-off employees have benefited greatly from Delany's services: last year
those who used Delany found jobs much more quickly than did those who did
not. Recently, it has been proposed that we use the less-expensive Walsh
Personnel Firm in place of Delany. This would be a mistake because eight
years ago, when XYZ was using Walsh, only half of the workers we laid off at
that time found jobs within a year. Moreover, Delany is clearly superior, as
evidenced by its bigger staff and larger number of branch offices. After all,
last year Delany's clients took an average of six months to find jobs,
whereas Walsh's clients took nine."

50 The following appeared in a memorandum to faculty from the academic vice
president of Waymarsh University.

"So that we can better accomplish Waymarsh University's academic goals, we
should adopt the job-opportunit (job-op) program offered at Plateau Technical
College and strongly encourage all students at Waymarsh to participate in it.
The success of the job-op program at Plateau is evident: Over the past two
years, more than 75% of the freshmen at Plateau have enrolled in the optional
job-op program. Moreover, at Plateau, the grades of job-op students are
consistently higher than those of other students, 90% of the job-op students
receive job offers within a month after their graduation, and most former
job-op students report much success in their careers."

ISSUE

No.9   "Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal
        system because moral behavior cannot be legislated."

No.101 "Students should memorize facts only after they have studied the ideas,
        trends, and concepts that help explain those facts. Students who have
        learned only facts have learned very little."


ARGUMENT

No.118  Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have
        previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the
        prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been
        unique to the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists
        discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos, an ancient village across
        the BrimRiver from Palea. The BrimRiver is very deep and broad, and so
        the ancient Paleans could only have crossed it by boat, but there is
        no evidence that the Paleans had boats. And boats capable of carrying
        groups of people and cargo were not developed until thousands of years
        after the Palean people disappeared. Moreover, Paleans would have had
        no need to cross the river — the woods around Palea are full of nuts,
        berries, and small game. It follows that the so-called Palean baskets
        were not unique to Palea.

另外一題沒看Orz


Argument 231.
The following is a letter to the editor of an environmental magazine.
"The decline in the numbers of amphibians worldwide clearly indicates
the global pollution of water and air. Two studies of amphibians in
YosemiteNational Park in California confirm my conclusion. In 1915
there were seven species of amphibians in the park, and there were
abundant numbers of each species. However, in 1992 there were only
four species of amphibians observed in the park, and the numbers of
each species were drastically reduced. The decline in Yosemite has
been blamed on the introduction of trout into the park's waters, which
began in 1920 (trout are known to eat amphibian eggs). But the
introduction of trout cannot be the real reason for the Yosemite decline
because it does not explain the worldwide decline."

"Although many people think that the luxuries and conveniences
of contemporary life are entirely harmless, in fact, they actually
prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals."

另一題忘了...雖然這題也不太會寫...


argument 110
When Ida McAllister ran for mayor of Lake City four years ago, she failed to
win even 30 percent of the vote. But since then, McAllister has made public
her commitment to environmental causes. She would be wise, therefore, to
announce her intention to close all Lake City parks to automobile traffic,
thus following the example of the former mayor of Plainsville, Alecia Yu.
On the recommendation of a small group of concerned citizens, Mayor Yu
prohibited automobile traffic in all Plainsville parks, and therefore was
credited with solving the pollution problem and improving the quality of
life in Plainsville. This action would have great appeal to the citizens
of Lake City, most of whom participate in the community's recycling program,
and would guarantee McAllister's success in her current quest to be
Lake City's new mayor.

Topic 1 #181

"In many countries it is now possible to turn on the television and view
government at work. Watching these proceedings can help people understand
the issues that affect their lives. The more kinds of government
proceedings—trials, debates, meetings, etc—that are televised, the more
society will benefit."

Topic 2 #229

"There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is
subjective; it is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires."

Argument

#117

The following appeared in an article written by Dr. Karp, an anthropologist.
"Twenty years ago Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of
Tertia and concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared
by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. However, my
recent interviews with children living in the group of islands that includes
Tertia show that these children spend much more time talking about their
biological parents than about other adults in the village. This research
proves that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture is false,
and thus that the observation-centered approach to studying cultures is
invalid. Because they are using the interview-centered method, my team of
graduate students working in Tertia will establish a much more accurate
understanding of child-rearing traditions there and in other island cultures."

The following is a letter to the editor of the Waymarsh Times. "Traffic
problems here in Waymarsh are obviously reaching record levels. While just
three months ago it would take me 15 minutes to get to work, it now takes
closer to 25. Waymarsh should follow the example of our neighboring city
Gearsville. Last year, Gearsville implemented a policy that rewards people
who share rides to work with coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in
Gearsville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and several friends
who live in Gearsville tell me that their trip to work is quicker than it
used to be. With the terrible traffic and high pollution in Waymarsh, we must
implement a policy similar to Gearsville's."

Issue有兩題，一題是科技與人性，另一題是語言失傳。
我選的是第一題
題目是說科技進步了但人性沒有進步，所以科技無法改變人類際遇。
主要論點是科技只是個工具，對我們生活是好是壞就看人類怎麼用。
然後舉三個例子，結論再呼應第一段。

Argument
題目是說G市有共乘獎勵制度後，上班時間縮短了空氣也變好了，
所以最近交通變差的W市應該也要實施這個政策。
我想到三個論點
1. W市交通變差不一定是車太多，可能是修路什麼的，完工就沒事了。與政策無關。
2. G市空氣變好只是巧合。
3. several friends不代表整體狀況。
時間關係我竟然沒寫完，嗚，只寫了前兩個論點。
作文果然不是短時間內可以進步的東西...

Argument:
235
The following appeared in the editorial section of a health and fitness
magazine.
"In a study of the effects of exercise on longevity, medical researchers
tracked 500 middle-aged men over a 20-year period. The subjects represented
a variety of occupations in several different parts of the country and
responded to an annual survey in which they were asked: How often and
how strenuously do you exercise? Of those who responded, the men who
reported that they engaged in vigorous outdoor exercise nearly every day
lived longer than the men who reported that they exercised mildly only
once or twice a week. Given the clear link that this study establishes
between longevity and exercise, doctors should not recommend moderate
exercise to their patients but should instead encourage vigorous outdoor
exercise on a daily basis."

   "With continuing publicity about the need for healthful diets, and with
    new research about the harmful effects of eating too much sugar,
    nationwide demand for sugar will no doubt decline. Therefore, farmers
    in our state should use the land on which they currently grow sugar cane
    to grow peanuts, a food that is rich in protein and low in sugar. Farmers
    in the neighboring country of Palin greatly increased their production of
    peanuts last year, and their total revenues from that crop were quite high.
