Q20:
Five years ago, as part of a plan to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, Levaska’s government introduced special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five.Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government’s plan is obviously working.


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

1. A substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts.
   
2. Workers in Levaska who already save money in long-term tax-free accounts that are offered through their workplace cannot take advantage of the special savings accounts introduced by the government.
   
3. The rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder.
   
4. Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts.
   
5. Many of the economists who now claim that the government’s plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced.
   
   答案D
   个人感觉D 是加强，文中意思就是为了证明政府的计划有用，D 不就正好说明了这个special accounts accumulation 的来源么？
   
   请教！谢谢！还有能否解释下B 为什么不对么，文中的推理是：引进special account savings（ with tax incentive on interest but money can not withdrawn before 65 ）- dollar accumulation – 政府计划成功。B 的意思是说那些已经有tax-free accounts 的员工不能享受到政府的好处，那么就不会把钱放到special savings account 里面，正好是削弱啊？求解。

文章说： 为了鼓励市民储蓄，政府引进了特别储蓄帐户计划。该计划表示：如果储户将钱存进该帐户，且65岁之前不把钱取出来，则每年不超过3000美元的存款不征收利息税。现在该特别储蓄帐户已经有了几百万的存款，所以政府的计划起作用了。

D。许多市民将钱从他们的“长期储蓄账户”中转到“特别储蓄帐户”中。

长期储蓄帐户和特别储蓄帐户都是长期存款，市民从一个帐户转到另一个帐户，站在政府的角度，整个社会的长期存款并没有增加，只不过是“特别储蓄帐户”金额增加，“长期储蓄帐户”金额减少。

B. 很多工人已经参加了自己公司的长期储蓄帐户计划，所以没法享受"特别储蓄帐户“计划。但这不能削弱原文，因为原文结尾已经说明“特别储蓄帐户”中已经有好几百万美金了。
