大全-C-18.    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.

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.（A）A选项“与别的公司无关”

(E) The effect of the computer giveaway offer on Don’s business will be comparable to that of a major advertising campaign.

当然，A选项明显不对：Don's doesn't expect the price of for information-processing equipment will be cheaper than other suppliers because Don's uses it as an exchange for cheaper PC.

但是，我觉得C选项也不一定需要啊！原文中说到跟"学校签合同"，而学生买不买你的只是个附加优势而已啊！

that turns in Don’s register receipts totaling $100,000 何意？ 我觉得这句话就是“跟学校签合同”吧，跟老师鼓励学生买你东西没有关系吧？！

不好意思，红色字体与本题无关，我做题时习惯性地把不熟悉的单词用红色标出来哈。 嘿嘿

整个题目的意思就不是很懂，以下是我的翻译：D从R处低价买PC，作为回报，D答应买S和E的时候全部去R的母公司那买。D决定把六个月内从R处购买的电脑捐给学校，剩下广告费的同时还能因捐赠少交税……翻不下去了。
我一开始选的C,但又觉得A也正确，D从RO处买信息处理设备不是因为RO的信息设备价格低，而是作为D可以超低价从O处买PC的交换条件，不管RO处的信息处理设备价格如何都要全部从RO处买。所以A就是except 。
哪位NN能帮忙解释一下整个的逻辑框架
