Vitacorp, a manufacturer, wishes to make its information booth at an industry convention more productive in terms of boosting sales. The booth offers information introducing the company’s new products and services. To achieve the desired result, Vitacorp’s marketing department will attempt to attract more people to the boost. The marketing director’s first measure was to instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to visit the boost.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weaken the predication that the marketing director’s first measure will contribute to meeting that goal of boosting sales?
A.Customers who participate booth are those not satisfied with Vitacorp products and will use this opportunity to express their unsatisfaction.
B.Many of Vitacorp’s competitors have made plans for making their own information booths more productive in increasing sales.
C.An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise have attended the booth.
D.Most of Vitacorp’s best customers also have business dealings with Vitacorp’s competitors.
E.Vitacorp has fewer new products and services available this year than it had in previous years.
我认为A错是因为，题中说了call his or her five best customers, but A says that customers who participate booth are those not satisfied with V, 这是不是反前提呢？
Q22:
The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole.
Which of the following is an assumption of the passage above?
A. The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved.
B. The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years.
C. The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.
D. Part of the pleasure of any toy lie in putting the toy together before playing with it.
E. Today's children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.
Editorial: In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance.To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply.However, the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed. Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.
Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial?
A. The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.
B. Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.
C. People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
D. The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.
E. People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.
第一题的C是strengthen. best customers也会有对服务不满意的地方，要辩证看哦。
第二题的C是说cereal盒子里的玩具原来是未组装的，这样可以nurture孩子；but the toys come as whole won't help. D is too absolute, because not ANY toy is used to play in that way-putting together.
unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement. 没有工作的人没有财政激励接受工作 但是c说的是受雇佣的人找工作要比失业的人获得更高的薪水趋势这个本身就是一个financial incentive，所以weaken了
