1．“Though they soon will, patients should not have a legal right to see their medical records. As a doctor, I see two reasons for this. First, giving them access will be time-wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files. Second, if my experience is anything to go by, no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway.”
Which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctors’ second reason does not cancel out the first?
(A) The new law will require that doctors, when seeing a patient in their office, must be ready to produce the patient’s records immediately, not just ready to retrieve them.
(B) The task of retrieving and returning files would fall to the lowest-paid member of a doctor’s office staff.
(C) Any patients who asked to see their medical records would also insist on having details they did not understand explained to them.
(D) The new law does not rule out that doctors may charge patients for extra expenses incurred specifically in order to comply with the new law.
(E) Some doctors have all allowing their patients access to their medical records, but those doctors’ patients took no advantage of this policy.
这道题的问题没明白，cancel out 在这里怎么理解？
2．All intelligent people are nearsighted. I am very nearsighted. So I must be a genius.
Which one of the following exhibits both of the logical flaws exhibited in the argument above?
(A) I must be stupid because all intelligent people are nearsighted and I have perfect eyesight.
(B) All chickens have beaks. This bird has a beak. So this bird must be a chicken.
(C) All pigs have four legs, but this spider has eight legs. So this spider must be twice as big as any pig.
(D) John is extremely happy, so he must be extremely tall because all tall people are happy.
(E) All geniuses are very nearsighted. I must be very nearsighted since I am a genius.
立马就选了B.答案却是D.有点不对吧？
谢谢各位！

1.In my point, the question means that the first reason still make sense even if the second reason is right.That is, although nobody require the records, doctors already waste time to prepare the record. So the answer is A.

2.Focus on the change of the tone.In the context, Intellegent people are replaced by Genius, because of 'very nearsight'.Similarly, D substitutes 'extremely tall' for 'tall' because of 'extremely happy'.

Welcome other opinions.

12. “Though they soon will, patients should not have a legal right to see their medical records. As a doctor, I see two reasons for this. First, giving them access will be time-wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files. Second, if my experience is anything to go by, no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway.”第二个理由实际上表示，如果病人不去查自己的记录，那么医生就不会浪费时间了，因此就削弱第一个理由。问题是：不让第二个理由削弱第一个理由。即不管病人看不看，医生都会浪费时间
Which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctor’s second reason does not cancel out the first?
(A) The new law will require that doctors, when seeing a patient in their office, must be ready to produce the patient’s records immediately, not just ready to retrieve them.
说明即使病人不看记录，医生也要准备好retrieve records
(B) The task of retrieving and returning files would fall to the lowest-paid member of a doctor’s office staff.
跟由谁来做，无关。反正都是医生
(C) Any patients who asked to see their medical records would also insist on having details they did not understand explained to them.
第二个理由说的是没有人会去see their medical records，所以这个选项无关
(D) The new law does not rule out that doctors may charge patients for extra expenses incurred specifically in order to comply with the new law.
第二个理由其实已经给出来了（A）
(E) Some doctors have all allowing their patients access to their medical records, but those doctors’ patients took no advantage of this policy.
同样说明医生不会浪费时间，因为病人并不会去看他们的病例，削弱第一个理由
