707-AA1,原文应该是这个:
The following appeared as part of the business plan of the Capital Idea investment firm:
“Across town in the Park Hill district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had
business increases over the past two years. Capital Idea should therefore invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o’-
Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Irongate district. As a condition, we should require them
to participate in a special program: Any customer who patronizes two of the businesses will receive a substantial
discount at the third. By motivating customers to patronize all three, we will thus contribute to the profitability of each
and maximize our return.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.
629-AA1原文:
The following appeared in a memorandum from the CEO of a consumer electronics manufacturing firm to thehead of the company's human resources department, who is responsible for hiring new employees:
“Eight years ago, our firm’s profits were increasing with each new employee we added. We discovered that eachemployee had the skills and motivation to generate more revenue for the firm than his or her salary cost us.However, for the past two years, our profit margin has been falling, even though we have continued to addemployees. Thus, our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries. We mustnot be hiring new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those we used to attract. Clearly,then, failures in the human resources department account for our falling profits.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.
大学医院那题:
The following appeared in an article in the health section of a newspaper.
“There is a common misconception that university hospitals are better than community or private hospitals. This notion is unfounded, however: the university hospitals in our region employ 15 percent fewer doctors, have a 20 percent lower success rate in treating patients, make far less overall profit, and pay their medical staff considerably less than do private hospitals. Furthermore, many doctors at university hospitals typically divide their time among teaching, conducting research, and treating patients. From this it seems clear that the quality of care at university hospitals is lower than that at other kinds of hospitals.”
Discuss how well reasoned... etc.

The following appeared in a presentation by the chief production manager of a machine parts manufacturing company at a management meeting:
“Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each dollar of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar of production costs. Therefore, we can reduce our overall drill bit production costs by devoting the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production. Since reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our largergoal of reducing our overall production costs, dedicating the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production and shifting all other machine part production to our other factories will help us to attain that larger goal.”

708-AA2
The following appeared in a memorandum from the head of a human resources department at a major automobile
manufacturing company to the company's managers:
“Studies have found that employees of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than
employees of for-profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employees of not-for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees’ motivation and productivity would
increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.
