AA是拿到clothing dempartment和home product
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.”

AA是说那个水果价格七年前是5cents ,现在是30cents,所以水果涨价了，引发通胀了。要避免通胀，需要制定严格的定价规则。
The following is taken from an editorial in a local newspaper.
“Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 5 cents apiece for lemons, but today it commonly charges over 30 cents apiece. In only one of these last eleven years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then, citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from continuing to inflate prices.”

一个automobile的经销商发现：6月份，当他们把那些luxury的line（就是比较昂贵，比较高档的车）放在展区最重要的位置时，不管是高档车还是价格一般的车inexpensive cars的销售额都提高了。2月分，他们把那些inexpensive 的车放在展区最重要的位置时，销售量就恒一般，比较低。所以他建议，为了提高销售额，应该把那些luxury的line（就是比较昂贵，比较高档的车）放在展区最重要的位置

AA:六月份，汽车公司主要为贵的车做宣传，结果这个月贵的车和便宜的车都卖的好。二月份，汽车公司主要为便宜的车做宣传，结果这个月两种车卖的都没有这么好。所以公司应该要全年都主要针对贵的车做宣传。又说一个什么，会让公司的revenue增加。

Since last year, productivity at Apex has increased by 15 percent. Other companies can learn from the success at Apex: given home computers and access to company resources, employees will work additional hours at home and thereby increase company profits.”

AA：大体是说一个电子公司的CEO批评HR，说现在HR招的职员都不如6年以前了，那时候的职员都很有motivation，工作积极，为公司创造了良好的效益，那时候他们为公司创造的效益远远超出公司支付的工资。但在最近的2-3年里，职员素质下降了，所以公司利润的下降完全是由于HR没招对人。

AWA: CEO批评HR那题
The following appeared in a memorandum from the CEO of a consumer electronics manufacturing firm to the head 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 each employee 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 add employees. Thus, our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries. We must not 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.”

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.”

AA：University hospitals' quality of care is worse than private or community hospitals. Two reasons: first is that in the author's region, the university hospitals have 15% fewer doctors, 20% less success on caring of patients than private hospitals--somewhat statistics; Second reason is the author believes that the university hospitals doctors divide their time into conducting researchs, teaching students and taking care of patients.
都是很明显的逻辑漏洞。
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.”

The following appeared in a memo to the Saluda town council from the town’s business manager.
“Research indicates that those who exercise regularly are hospitalized less than half as often as those who don’t exercise. By providing a well-equipped gym for Saluda’s municipal employees, we should be able to reduce the cost of our group health insurance coverage by approximately 50% and thereby achieve a balanced town budget.”
