The Acme Corporation plans to improve productivity by giving staff more-powerful computers with faster Internet connections. But some of the corporation's managers claim that many employees play games over the Internet at work, and conclude from this claim that the plan will be counterproductive.

Assuming that the managers' claim is correct, which of the following would, if true, most strongly support the prediction that the Acme Corporation's plan will succeed?

(A) The Acme Corporation has a written policy forbidding staff from playing computer games at work.

(B) None of the managers at Acme Corporation play games over, the Internet at work.

(C) At most corporations, there is no correlation between the amount of time employees spend playing computer games and the power of their computers or speed of their Internet connections.

(D) Few if any employees at Acme Corporation have duties that could be performed more efficiently with more-powerful computers or faster Internet connections.

(E) Managers at Acme Corporation have observed that those employees with the more-powerful computers arid fast Internet connections spend a significant amount of time playing computer games.

Last year Cidney Co, a manufacturer of carousel horses, sold 1000 horses, while Horsan-Works, the only other manufacturer, sold 2000. However, in January this year, Cidney Co launched a new model, and by the end of March, it had already received orders for 1000 horses of the new type alone. Given that the total demand for carousel horses is unlikely to increase, Carousel-Work is bound to sell fewer horses this year than it did last year.

Which of the following, if true, more seriously weakens the argument?

A The prices of carousel horses are likely to rise this year.

B In order to recover the costs of developing the new model, Cidney Co needs to sell 2000 horses of that type.

C The average size of carousels has been steadily increasing.

D In the past decade as a whole, Cidney Co sold more horses than Horsan-Works.

E Cidney Co’s production capacity is limited to 1000 horses annually and cannot be increased before the end of this year.

当时为什么没选，难点：shell game
已经说了our task is to assuming that the managers' claim that many employees play games over the Internet at work is correct
这选项不是反前提吗

错因
不是同一个东西！！

解析
我们的plan是giving staff more-powerful computers with faster Internet connections to improve productivity
Managers说的是many employees play games over the Internet at work, and conclude from this claim that the plan will be counterproductive.
这两个不是一个东西，也不一定存在因果关系
电脑好≠上班时间玩游戏

如果想加强Managers的观点，可以说调查发现电脑越好网越好 ——>大家越会上班时间玩游戏
这里让我们增强plan会成功

Takeaway：need to read VERY VERY VERY LITERALLY & CAREFULLY

1、升级网速更快的电脑，会让很多上班玩游戏的员工工作效率降低。
问weaken
思考：因果论证，考虑削弱因果联系或他因削弱

A：有书面规定员工上班不能玩游戏。反驳前提，前提已经说了很多员工上班玩游戏，不管是否有规定。
B：没有经理上班玩游戏。经理玩不玩与员工玩不玩游戏无关。
C：员工玩游戏的时间与电脑性能和网速快慢无关。正确，削弱因果联系，升级更快的电脑不会让员工多玩游戏。
D：没有员工的工作在更好更快的电脑下可以提升效率。方向反了。
E：经理发现很多有更好电脑的员工玩游戏时间也很多。方向反了。

选C

2、A今年3月就预售了1000台，整体需求量不变，所以B今年销量会降低。
问weaken
思考：因果论证，考虑削弱因果联系或他因削弱

D:过去10年，A卖的比B多。无关。
E:A公司当年的产能就只有1000。正确，那B销量还是会保持2000。

C 题目说在manager所说的是正确的前提下 哪个可以support更换了电脑 生产力会提升的预测。 managere说的是人们在用电脑的时候会打游戏 ，但是并没有说打游戏和电脑速度升级之后的关联 C表示无关联 那么人们不见得会因为换了电脑而打更多的游戏啊
