V1:一个advisor向一个国家的political leader建议说，因为nation parks 最近几年的游客数量下降了，而且又发现这些parks下面有丰富的煤矿，因此需要关闭旅游业，而在这些parks的地址上采矿，这样采矿的公司会向国家纳税，就可以弥补旅游业带来的亏损，并且因为这样会增加工作岗位，那么那些失业的旅游业工人也可以在这些工作岗位上工作，这样会降低失业率。
V2: W这个地方的经济是rely on tourism的，但是因为industry pollution,不能再吸引像以前那样多的游客了。幸运的是，又发现了煤的存在。mining companies 可以贡献很多的tax，然后又说了，without mining, W这个地方的revenue will decline.
考古
V1:有个国家（W开头）national parks 游客减少，因为工业污染增加。国家准备把national parks拿来mining来增加收入。mining公司也会给国家缴税和重新雇用之前在national park工作的人。所以为了增加revenue, W国家应该permit把national parks给mining company的建议
V2: AA是说一个经济依靠旅游的城市由于污染严重去玩的人少了，所以有人建议批准开发NATIONAL PARK里面的MINE，说这样可以拉动经济，THE MINING COMPANIES WILL PROVIDES MANY JOBS之类。
V3:是说W这个地方的国家公园已经不能像以前那样吸引很多游者了，所以导致W收入下降。然后有mining company发现这个国家公园有很多资源可以开采，有经济学家就提议不如让这些mining company过来投资开采，这样可以把W的收入从新提高。（大概是这个意思了之前没见过这题）
V4: national park以前是旅游胜地，现在因为pollution的关系，不再那么attractive.  national park的revenue也下降了，所以想要mining company 加入，这样可以增加税收，并且会hire原来national park的工人。这样，national park的revenue就不会下降了。

去年，由于demand下降，原来经营traditional fuel的公司，like BXXX Corporation, 它的profits 和stock price都下降了 。但是，那些经营renewable energy的公司的profits 和stock price却大幅度上升了。Therefore, BXXX决定让公司的scientists在renewable energy方面进行research.这样公司的stock price和profits 就at least 不会下降，即使面对未来的demand下降。
考古
V1:去年全国的mining technology都状态低迷，而做Renewable energy的公司有不少都挺成功（列举了一些能源），因此Blastcom公司认为通过转变策略，devoting research to renewable  engergy来盈利并升高公司股价是一定会成功.
V2:去年能源**整体下滑 但是一个Bolcom。。好像是这个公司呢却盈利了。。。原因是他将efforts switch from minering to renewable energy了。。于此同时呢 这个renewable energy的其他公司在未来盈利状况普遍看好（ 风能 太阳能等等）然后 于此这个BOLCOM 将来继续采用 new field strategy 未来将free from 利润的下滑

提纲：
(下文思路单一，两段都是谈调查方法的问题，还可以谈后半部分，“采取了措施就一定能达到目的吗？”)
1.        The result of a last year's survey does not necessarily represent the improvement most needed of this year.
2.        How was the survey held has not been illustrated by the author, thus making the conclusion groundless.
3.        Whether the implement of the mentioned resolution is right or wrong is still unkonwn, it is still too early to say the improvement has been made.

1，        调查的可信性：是否anonymous，如果要named，很可能并不是他们最想要的改进。
2，        改进方法是否充分？是否交流会有很好交流，并且采纳accept意见

The following appeared in a memorandum from the Director of Human Resources to the executive officers of Company X.
“Last year, we surveyed our employees on improvements needed at Company X by having them rank, in order of importance, the issues presented in a list of possible improvements. Improved communications between employees and management was consistently ranked as the issue of highest importance by the employees who responded to the survey. As you know, we have since instituted regular communications sessions conducted by high-level management, which the employees can attend on a voluntary basis. Therefore, it is likely that most employees at Company X now feel that the improvement most needed at the company has been made.” (pool第64题)

6月商店摆奢侈品 拿奢侈品做广告 结果整个店里不管是奢侈品还是正常产品 卖得都好   但是当摆普通商品的时候 生意就不太好  经理就建议 一年到头摆奢侈品。
(考古)
V1: AUTOMOBILE——6月的销售策略是陈列LUXURY MODEL,打LUXURY MODEL的广告，然后COMBINED SALES剧烈上涨。2月陈列MORE INEXPENSIVE MODEL，打INEXPENSIVE MODEL的广告，OVERALL SALES下降。
经历的结论：应该继续6月的策略，因为只要顾客踏入AUTO LOT然后看到L MODEL就会被吸引然后购买。
V2 :6月份的时候公司进行了advertising on parking lots and show room of luxury automotibles. And the sales increased significantly for both luxury and inexpensive models. 这证明这种投放广告的方式是有效的, 可以同时带来高级汽车(luxury)和普通汽车(inexpensive) 的销售增加. However, in Feburary, 同样针对inexpensive models的广告活动,没有带来sales的增长. 因此,公司应该在以后的广告活动中put the luxury models in front并center at luxury modles. 这样,现行可以maximize profits.
V3：一个汽车公司在JULY 与FEB 两个月做广告卖汽车一个是有关豪华汽车的一个月是不贵的汽车的然后得出结论后面逻辑错误百出很好写。

提纲：
Firstly, the solution to the problem, mentioned in the article, rests on an oversimplified analysis of the issue. The author commits “after this, therefore, because of this” reasoning. The line of the reasoning is that because recruitment of new employees occurred before the success or failure of the firm, the former event is responsible for the latter. But this is fallacious reasoning unless all other prospective causes of the changes in the firm have been considered and ruled out.
For example, perhaps the main products of the firm took up most of the markets several years ago but lost the competitive edge in the past two years; or perhaps recently the costs of materials were much higher then before, squeezing the profits a lot. Therefore any reason aimed at addressing the problems of firm must be based on more thorough investigation to gather sufficient data , in order to narrow down and locate the actual cause of the problem.

Secondly, the author commits the fallacy of “all things are equal”. The fact that happened two years ago is not a sound evidence to draw a conclusion that the firm should not hire new employees. The author assumes without justification that the background conditions have remained the same at different times or at different locations. Given that the firm always needs large number of employees to enlarge the sale market, so without the employees who equip the qualities of high level of skills and motivation, the firm would commit larger lost; or that the firm recently recovered the market, leading to the increased need of the staff to make up the lost in the profits previously. Thus it is impossible to conclude without the evidence that whether the current conditions are the same as the conditions used to be two years ago.

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.” (pool B4)

上月的作文狗，cereal的那个，75%的人觉得味道比较好，还有包含Vitamin K，这个特点应该表现在新的包装上~
考古
V1 the Cunch(貌似) Breakfast cereal contain 20% more nutrients than any other cereal in the city XXX. Moreover, in the survey conducted by us, 75% consumers prefer to the taste of Cunch Breakfast cereal than other cereal products. However, 消费者似乎并没有显著的青睐这个cereal。Therefore, in order to increase the sales, we should redesign the front of the Cunch Breakfast box with detailed information about the two features mentioned above(即多20%的营养，75%认为口味出众) (题库里没找到) 3次
V2说一个cereal的厂家的备忘录：认为该厂出产的cereal的一大优势是包含vitamin K。另外在一项调查中，有75%的人表示喜欢cereal口味。但是现在销售量降低。建议在做广告中更换包装盒，并注明该cereal的两大优势（就是包 含vitamin k和口味好）。
V3 一下来自公司营销总监的备忘录：一家生产cereal 公司生产的cereal含有的维生素k的数量比竞争对手都要多20%，而且一项调查显示75%的顾客认为该公司生产的cereal比竞争对手都要好，但是 该公司的销售量并不高。因此营销总监建议公司重新对包装盒进行设计，把该产品含有比竞争对手20%的vitamin K 和上述的那个调查贴在包装盒上。
V4关于cereals 的， 第一句说our cereals contains more vitamin k preserving …第二个就用survey  75%consumers favor its tastes 。。后面就说为了增加sales 吸引更多的顾客 应该redesign the front of the ..box.

The following appeared as part of an article in a weekly newsmagazine.
“The country of Sacchar can best solve its current trade deficit problem by lowering the price of sugar, its primary export. Such an action would make Sacchar better able to compete for markets with other sugar-exporting countries. The sale of Sacchar’s sugar abroad would increase, and this increase would substantially reduce Sacchar’s trade deficit.” (pool第40题)
