31: V1:employee给ad manager建议说他们breakfast Crunch 的cereal含vitamin K比别的多，调查regular customers反映说它们taste better，但sales figures low，所以customers unware of the benefits，应该redesign the box to show。(V2:本公司的Breakfast Crunch cereal比其他同类产品含有多20%的vitamin K; 市场分析表明，我们的customer中75%较市场同类产品更prefer我们的flavor。（两个百分比都不记得确切数字了，反正就是挺高的，都是可以攻击的flaw。）但是显然很多人不知道我们的cereal的这两个优点，因为我们的sales很低。所以advertising dept应该全力将重点放在宣传我们的cereal的有点上，只要这些优点宣传的到位，就能提高我们的sales。)

32: Now is the perfect time to buy a house in our city. Over the past five years, average home prices in our region have nearly doubled. But average stock prices in the national stock market have actually declined over the same period. So homeowners have seen an increase in value for their housing investment during the last five years that far exceeds what they could have made by investing in the stock market. Our city’s resident can surely achieve a similar profit over the next five years. Furthermore, if residents invest in a home, they can enjoy the use of the home while its value increases, whereas money invested in stocks would not contribute to their quality of life in the same way that owning a home would. Therefore, all the residents of our city should invest their money in a home.

33: 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 larger goal 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.”
题库号码：B8
提纲：
这个argument 的思路绕来绕去就是有three mojor flaws: reduce costs by devoting entirely drill bit production to C; the only way to reduce costs is to reduce production costs; shifting the production of the other parts to other factories is the appropriate way to go
针对这三个 direct or indirect conlusions 写就行了
1:  although C produce more bits per dollar, the reason may be that C has high- skilled workers,  total new and high- quality machines, or less amounts of orders(订单)  thus entirely shifting is fallacious, the results may be that the workers may be too tired and have too much burden, the machines would be worn out, and all this could contribute to the lowering of the productivity
2:  the management assumes without further more evidence that reucing the productions costs is the only way to enhance cost -effective production process: 可以train workers , 引进new technologies, 定期维修老旧设备，提高management strategy...
3: 就是转移制造这一部分：也许转移制造之后 cargo and transporting fees would roar因为sporadically 分布的 工厂可以及时供货，集中在一个地方不利于 供货， 而且shifting 牵扯到 搬家的费用：那些cumbersome machine怎么转移啊,人员怎么迁移啊。。。这些都是huge expense, may not weighover the elevation of the productivity

34：The following appeared as part of a recommendation from the business manager of a department store.
“Local clothing stores reported that their profits decreased, on average, for the three-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell products for the home reported that, on average, their profits increased during this same period. Clearly, consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments.
题库号码：72
提纲：
1. period of three month is too short to draw a general conclusion of the overall trend.
2. The past three months' trend does not guarantee the same in the future.
3. Whether the reports from the local clothing stores and stores that sell products for the home are reliable or not are still open to doubt, thus making the author's suggestion groundless.

The conclusion is that Greentree Grocers will experience high sales volume as well as high profit margin.

提纲：
1.        作者忽略 裁员和减少试用的负面影响，如服务质量下降，顾客满足感下降，这种效果在奢侈品店尤为明显，因此可能减少销售量。
2.  作者没有对咖啡店的收入成本分析。很可能的一种情况是咖啡店带来的收入弥补不了咖啡店的成本。 开咖啡店需要占用更大面积而且雇佣更多员工。
3.  另外影响MARGIN 的因素有很多，如果原材料成本上升很快，裁员也是杯水车薪
