Issue #1 本版題號 239 "It is impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth all the time. Complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician." Issue #2 本版題號 160 "In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important discoveries." Argument Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers' production of melatonin — a hormone known to affect some brain functions — would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children — now teenagers — who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin before birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.118.237.51

Issue #2 134 "High-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize are actually damaging to society because they suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition." Argument 40 The citizens of Forsythe have adopted healthier lifestyles. Their responses to a recent survey show that in their eating habits they conform more closely to government nutritional recommendations than they did ten years ago. Furthermore, there has been a fourfold increase in sales of food products containing kiran, a substance that a scientific study has shown reduces cholesterol. This trend is also evident in reduced sales of sulia, a food that few of the healthiest citizens regularly eat. -- 都沒抽到超高頻 @@ -- ╔═ ╚╗╔╗║ ╚╝╠╝║║╠╗╔╗ ════ ╚╣ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.94.128

Issue 2 #24 The goal of politics should not be the pursuit of an ideal, but rather the search for common ground and reasonable consensus. Arguement #18 The following is a memorandum written by the director of personnel to the president of the Cedar Corporation. "It would be a mistake to rehire the Good-Taste Company to supply the food in our employee cafeteria next year. It is the second most expensive caterer in the city. In addition, its prices have risen in each of the last three years, and it refuses to provide meals for people on special diets. Just last month three employees complained to me that they no longer eat in the cafeteria because they find the experience 'unbearable.' Our company should instead hire Discount Foods. Discount is a family-owned local company and it offers a varied menu of fish and poultry. I recently tasted a sample lunch at one of the many companies that Discount serves and it was delicious — an indication that hiring Discount will lead to improved employee satisfaction. 樂樂長的題目....沒有事先看過 頭尾的pattern打上去就沒剩多少時間了 沒有細想標上主題句 後面補了一兩句話 就.....Orz 不過再爛也不會比上次爛了~~~~~~哈 哈 哈 哈 感謝GRE板~救了我的issue -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.112.143.28

The following was written as a part of an application for a small business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe. "A jazz music club in Monroe would be a tremendously profitable enterprise. Currently, the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away; thus, our proposed club, the C Note, would have the local market all to itself. Plus, jazz is extremely popular in Monroe: over 100,000 people attended Monroe's jazz festival last summer, several well-known jazz musicians live in Monroe, and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is 'Jazz Nightly,' which airs every weeknight. Finally, a nationwide study indicates that the typical jazz fan spends close to $1,000 per year on jazz entertainment. It is clear that the C Note cannot help but make money." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.168.81.23

"So that we can better accomplish Waymarsh University's academic goals we should adopt the job-opportunity (job-op) program offered at Plateau Technical College and strongly encourage all students at Waymarsh to 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 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." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.64.184.145

Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development. Topic 2 87. In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important discoveries. ARGUMENT A folk remedy* for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers, has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored. During the first week, volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers discontinued their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. This shows that over a short period of time lavender cures insomnia. *A folk remedy is usually a plant-based form of treatment common to traditional forms of medicine, ones that developed before the advent of modern medical services and technology. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.41.234

ARGUMENT 209The following recommendation was made by the Human Resources Manager to the board of directors of the Fancy Toy Company. "In the last three quarters of this year, under the leadership of our president, Pat Salvo, our profits have fallen considerably. Thus, we should ask for her resignation in return for a generous severance package. In Pat's place, we should appoint Rosa Winnings. Rosa is currently president of Starlight Jewelry, a company whose profits have increased dramatically over the past several years. Although we will have to pay Rosa twice the salary that Pat has been receiving, it will be well worth it because we can soon expect our profits to increase considerably." -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.120.33.101 ※ 編輯: zac37 來自: 122.120.33.101 (04/29 17:00)

It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem." 9 ""Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated." Argument: 132 "The following appeared in a medical newsletter. "Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment.

I225 "Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively." Argument A005 The following appeared in a local newspaper. "People should not be misled by the advertising competition between Coldex and Cold-Away, both popular over-the-counter cold medications that anyone can purchase without a doctor's prescription. Each brand is accusing the other of causing some well-known, unwanted side effect: Coldex is known to contribute to existing high blood pressure and Cold-Away is known to cause drowsiness. But the choice should be clear for most health-conscious people: Cold-Away has been on the market for much longer and is used by more hospitals than is Coldex. Clearly, Cold-Away is more effective." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.176.30

"Our poorest-selling magazine issues over the past three years were those that featured international news stories on their front covers. Over the same period, competing news-magazines have significantly decreased the number of cover stories that they devote to international news. Moreover, the cost of maintaining our foreign bureaus to report on international news is increasing. Therefore, we should decrease our emphasis on international news and refrain from displaying such stories on our magazine covers." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.41.105
