124. The following appeared in a memorandum fromthe owner of Carlo’s Clothing to the staff.“SinceDisc Depot, the music store on the next block, began a new radio advertisingcampaign last year, its business has grown dramatically, as evidenced by thelarge increase in foot traffic into the store. While the Disc Depot’s ownershave apparently become wealthy enough to retire, profits at Carlo’s Clothinghave remained stagnant for the past three years. In order to boost our salesand profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper advertising to frequentradio advertisements like those for Disc Depot.”

A33. The following appeared in a memorandum from the president of Sinecor, a computer-software company.
“The amount of money Sinecor spent last year on paid vacations and medical benefits increased by 30 percent. To offset these expenses, we should increase to 30 percent the portion of our employees who are temporary or contract workers. Since we will not have to give these workers vacation time or medical benefits, we will save money by employing them. In addition, our regular employees will be motivated to work harder to preserve their jobs as well as their vacation and health benefits. These changes will improve Sinecor’s overall profitability and ability to compete with other companies.”

6. The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted to regional life.
“Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helios’s unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. It is the industrial center of the region, and historically it has provided more than its share of the region’s manufacturing jobs. In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies.”

B3. The following appeared in a memorandum from the information technology department of a major advertising firm:
“The more efficient a firm’s employees are, the more profitable that firm will be. Improvements in a firm’s information technology hardware and software are a proven way to increase the efficiency of employees who do the majority of their work on computers. Therefore, if our firm invests in the most powerful and advanced information technology available, employee productivity will be maximized. This strategy ensures that every dollar spent on enhanced information technology will help to increase our firm’s profit margins.”

A3. The following appeared in a memorandum from the development director of the Largo Piano Company.
“The Largo Piano Company has long been known for producing carefully handcrafted, expensive pianos used by leading concert pianists. During the past few years, however, our revenues have declined; meanwhile, the Allegro Musical Instrument Company introduced a line of inexpensive digital pianos and then saw its revenues increase. In order to increase Largo’s sales and in fact outsell Allegro, we should introduce a line of digital pianos in a variety of price ranges. Our digital pianos would be likely to find instant acceptance with customers, since they would be associated with the prestigious Largo name.”

39. The following appeared in an Avia Airlines departmental memorandum.
“On average, 9 out of every 1,000 passengers who traveled on Avia Airlines last year filed a complaint about our baggage-handling procedures. This means that although some 1 percent of our passengers were unhappy with those procedures, the overwhelming majority were quite satisfied with them; thus it would appear that a review of the procedures is not important to our goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’s passengers.”
1去年是这样今年呢以后呢？
2很有可能是乘客对服务不满意却没时间正式申诉
3和别的航空公司比较如何seriousness trivailize

1，        没有complaint不代表没有不满。
2，        没有跟其他公司对比，同时并不知道总数。

43. 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.”
1，        从一个医院的情况就推广到整个太草率
2，        治愈率低可能是因为接受的患者得的病都比较罕见等原因造成的
3，        工资低，总体利润低，时间分配给教学都不能一定说明质量差。可能其他福利好，接受的病人少，教学研究有助于进步

1.        首先，医生的人数与质量之间没有必然的因果原因。profit跟质量也无关系。很可能treating price is significantly lower。
2.        成功率不能说明问题。缺乏其他的证据，忽略了他因：比如因为质量高，所以很多serious illness的，而送往其他医院的一般都是common cases.
时间不能代表问题。因为那些医生所做的研究很可能帮助他们进行治疗。
