Don’s, a chain of supermarkets, has entered into an agreement in which Rose Computers will sell Don’s an unlimited number of its least expensive PC’s at one-fourth the regular wholesale price. In return, Don’s has agreed to purchase all of its scanners and other electronic information-processing equipment from Rose or from Omicron, Rose Computers’ parent company, for the next ten years. Don’s will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don’s register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months. The vice-president in charge of advertising for Don’s expects that the computer giveaway will obviate the need for a massive new advertising campaign for the next six months and that Don’s can make up the expenditures for the PC’s by writing them off its income taxes as charitable donations.
正确答案：A
The plans formulated by Don’s assume each of the following EXCEPT:
(A) The prices that Rose or Omicron charges Don’s for information-processing equipment over the next ten years will be lower than those charged by other companies.
(B) The tax laws will not be changed to exclude or lessen the value of charitable donations as tax write-offs.
(C) Schools will be sufficiently attracted by Don’s computer giveaway offer that teachers will urge students to shop at Don’s.
(D) Rose will be able to supply Don’s with a sufficient number of PC’s to meet the demand generated by schools that collect Don’s receipts totaling $100,000.
(E) The effect of the computer giveaway offer on Don’s business will be comparable to that of a major advertising campaign.
答案为何是A，而不是C呢？
(A) is irrelevant. In order to be relevant, (A) must make logical comparison between prices charged for information-processing equipment and "those charged for PCs", not those charged for information-processing equipment by other companies. So (A) is not assumed in the argument and hence the best choice.
(C) is relevant. According to the passage, "Don’s will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don’s register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months". So, if "Schools will not be sufficiently attracted by Don’s computer giveaway offer that teachers will urge students to shop at Don’s", the following effect of obviating need for massive advertising campaign will not happen. Therefore, (C) must be assumed by Dons.
谁能翻译一下原文，我不是很理解什么意思？
随便乱翻啊,大意.
DON这个地方从ROSE那里买了些很便宜的电脑，同时作为附带条件从ROSE和他的母公司O那里买了一堆配件. DON将把买来的便宜电脑无偿得给一些学校(作为他们的注册用户)，负责广告的家伙觉得，这样可以免除广告费用，并且可以逃掉消费税(因为这些电脑是当成慈善捐掉的)，
那A就无关了，给其他公司的价格高低和DON公司的策略毫无关系. 他的目的是发电脑和销帐,和价格没有关系。
这道题信息量很大 偶觉得可以当阅读题来做 就是回原文定位
(B)(E)-The vice-president in charge of advertising for Don’s expects that (E)the computer giveaway will obviate the need for a massive new advertising campaign for the next six months and that Don’s can make up the expenditures for the PC’s by (B) writing them off its income taxes as charitable donations.
(C)-Don’s will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don’s register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months.+ the computer giveaway will obviate the need for a massive new advertising campaign for the next six months and that Don’s can make up the expenditures for the PC’s
(D)-Don’s, a chain of supermarkets, has entered into an agreement in which Rose Computers will sell Don’s an unlimited number of its least expensive PC’s at one-fourth the regular wholesale price.
We couldn't get any implied clue for A from the passage above. Otherwise, we may consider A as irrelavent.
That's my thought on this problem. It's very time-consuming to locate the need information in the passage. I was wondering, probably,there is some simplier way to solve this problem?
这种题目没时间定位的，最快的方法就是狒狒老师的：太长的逻辑题目而且又看的不是很明白的就选A
这题还真的对了呢，
虽然我不是这么选的

(A) The prices that Rose or Omicron charges Don’s for information-processing equipment over the next ten years will be lower than those charged by other companies.
A不是说 R给D的价格比其他人给D的价格要低吗？ 这个怎么不对了？
(A) The prices that Rose or Omicron charges Don’s for information-processing equipment over the next ten years will be lower than those charged by other companies.

its least expensive PC’s at one-fourth the regular wholesale price
还是不太明白A怎么就对了，如果超市从电脑公司采购的IT设备太贵的话，一样会破坏整个计划的实施。
D选项中，即使电脑公司不能满足学校电脑的全部需求，也一样能保证整个计划的进行。
现实生活中，很多促销活动的促销产品都不是能满足全部的需求，但也一样达到宣传的效果。
这道题目我觉得A和C不是assumption。
A。即使这些设备的价格不比别人买的低，只要别高的离谱，就不会影响到这个计划，所以，不需要一定比别人低，举反例的话，价格和别人一样，不影响计划。
C。这个我就搞不懂了。Schools will be sufficiently attracted by Don’s computer giveaway offer that teachers will urge students to shop at Don’s. 为什么一定要老师鼓励学生多购物呢？如果是学校为了拿那个电脑，完全可以自己的后勤部门去那里购物啊，学生不去的话，一样可以的。不明白为什么需要这个assumption，请NN帮忙，谢谢拉！！！！！！
I think C is just relevant, but rather a assumption.
But ,A is absolutely inrelevant. so A is better than C
Don’s will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don’s register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months.
以上的话支持C。学校只要在以后半年内买D的产品达到$100,000，就可以免费得一台电脑，所以老师会催促学生去D处购物。
即使后勤先在半年有效期内都买下来，是学校的支出，学生买下来就不需要学校支出了吧。鼓励学生到后勤处去买，又麻烦了。
总之，考试时没时间钻牛角尖。
i am becoming more confused than ever,
my comprehension:
connect the answer to the text, and justify the relevancy of each answer, we can see
in (A), the price of information-processing equipment is not mentioned in the text.
in (C), it means schools will agree to Don’s offer ( that teachers will urge students to shop at Don’s.) .
---If schools reject Don's offer, then the project is fail.
----Further more, students should be attracted to Don's shop, since schools already have free PCs that offered by Don's. Otherwise, the plan is needless. And a massive new advertising campaign is necessary.
(D) is the condition of the plan
Don's 的计划有一部分是基于拿回发票以抵消税务的，因为当发票在手的时候就可以声称这些电脑都是捐出去了而不是卖出去了.所以如果D选项不能满足的话，学校就买不到100000的电脑，也就不能换取免费电脑，Don's也就无法回收发票。
我觉得这题的题干已经难到一定境界了。Don's的计划其实可以分为三部分组成，1是以低折扣购买电脑同时作为回报购买其他仪器，2是用电脑赠送计划抵消税务，3是用电脑赠送计划作为6个月内的广告推广。而五个选项应该分别对应我说的这三个部分，如下：
A - 1
B - 2
C - 3/2
D - 2
E - 3
其实A的话有点干扰作用了，我们并不知道协议是怎么签的也就是双方互相是怎么让利的，所以很难推断这个具体价格。
这道题目我觉得A和C不是assumption。
A。即使这些设备的价格不比别人买的低，只要别高的离谱，就不会影响到这个计划，所以，不需要一定比别人低，举反例的话，价格和别人一样，不影响计划。
C。这个我就搞不懂了。Schools will be sufficiently attracted by Don’s computer giveaway offer that teachers will urge students to shop at Don’s. 为什么一定要老师鼓励学生多购物呢？如果是学校为了拿那个电脑，完全可以自己的后勤部门去那里购物啊，学生不去的话，一样可以的。不明白为什么需要这个assumption，请NN帮忙，谢谢拉！！！！！！
我的思路也差不多,理解A为什么正确,但是还是没办法排除C,
为什么一定要学生多购物呢?学校本来不准备在DON'S购物的,但是由于这个计划在DON'S购物了,这样DON'S也起到了宣传的效果啊,难到非得吸引到学生购物才抵得上advertising campaign的效果吗?
A的over the next ten years will be lower 是不是也有问题，题干中说了one-forth the regular wholesale price 就成交了，和十年后无关吧？
Don's will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don’s register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months 《—— C项应该是这句话的假设吧。
