CR的一些自己总结：
有profit经常考的是和cost，revenue有关
有revenue和cost无关，revenue是独立的个体，讨论revenue可以讨论revenue有多种不同的渠道来源
题目中出现的正确信息，再出现在答案中属于重复已知信息，不选。已知信息经常出现子啊题目中最后一句中，要注意！！

假设题和加强题的比较：
Personnel officer: The exorbitant cost of our health-insurance benefits reflects the high dollar amount of medical expenses incurred by our employees. Employees who are out of shape, as a group, have higher doctor bills and longer hospital stays than do their colleagues who are fit. Therefore, since we must reduce our health-insurance costs, we should offer a rigorous fitness
program of jogging and weight lifting to all employees, and require employees who are out of shape to participate.
The conclusion reached by the personnel officer depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. A person who is fit would receive a routine physical checkup by a doctor less regularly than would a person who is out of shape.
B. The medical expenses incurred by employees who are required to participate in the fitness program would be less than those incurred by employees who are not required to participate.
C. The strenuous activities required of out-of-shape employees by the program would not by themselves generate medical expenses greater than any reduction achieved by the program.
D. The fitness program would serve more employees who are out of shape than it would employees who are fit.
E. The employees who participate in the fitness program would be away from work because of illness less than would the employees who do not participate.

Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the personnel officer's proposal?
A. The medical expenses incurred by fit people who participate in a program of jogging and weight lifting are less than those incurred by fit people who do not participate in such a program.
B. More otherwise fit people are injured by participating in rigorous jogging and weight-lifting programs than are injured by participating in moderate jogging and weight-lifting programs.
C. The likelihood of incurring medical expenses is slightly greater for people who participate in fitness programs offered by their employers than it is for people who participate in programs offered commercially.
D. Moderate fitness programs increase the average person's fitness to the same extent that rigorous fitness programs do.
E. More health problems and injuries are the result of mandatory participation in a fitness program than are the result of voluntary participation.

因果，目的计划
健康保险的收益反映了员工高昂的医疗费用支出。那些走形了的员工，会有更多的医生账单以及要在医院待更长的时间，和那些健康的员工相比。
所以，为了减少健康保险的费用，我们必须提供剧烈的锻炼项目包括慢跑举重给所有的员工，且要求那些走形的员工的参与。
假设题答案：C。走形员工的剧烈活动不会产生更多的医疗费用，比通过这个项目减少的费用。 证明了确实会减少医疗费用，排除了实行这个项目可能会带来额外更多花费的风险。
加强题答案：A。参与锻炼项目的人的医疗费用比不参与的人的费用少。直接证明参与项目会减少费用
