　　Issue49-"Imaginative works such as novels, plays, films, fairy tales, and legends present a more accurate and meaningful picture of human experience than do factual accounts. Because the creators of fiction shape and focus reality rather than report on it literally, their creations have a more lasting significance."

　　issue47-"Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect—that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."

　　argu203-The following appeared in a newspaper feature story.

　　"At the small, nonprofit hospital in the town of Saluda, the average length of a patient&aposs stay is two days; at the large, for-profit hospital in the nearby city of Megaville, the average patient stay is six days. Also, the cure rate among patients in the Saluda hospital is about twice that of the Megaville hospital. The Saluda hospital has more employees per patient than the hospital in Megaville, and there are few complaints about service at the local hospital. Such data indicate that treatment in smaller, nonprofit hospitals is more economical and of better quality than treatment in larger, for-profit hospitals."

　　ISSUE43-To be an fective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards.

　　一位政府官员要想成为一位有效力的领导者，就必须保持最高的伦理和道德修养。

　　83-"Government should preserve publicly owned wilderness areas in their natural state, even though these areas are often extremely remote and thus accessible to only a few people."

　　Argument233-The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a company that builds shopping malls throughout the country.

　　"The surface of a section of Route 101, paved two years ago by McAdam Road Builders, is now badly cracked and marred by dangerous potholes. In another part of the state, a section of Route 66, paved by Appian Roadways more than four years ago, is still in good condition. Appian Roadways has recently purchased state-of-the-art paving machinery, and it has hired a new quality-control manager. Because of its superior work and commitment to quality, we should contract with Appian Roadways rather than McAdam Road Builders to construct the access roads for all our new shopping."

　　两年前由McAdam筑路公司修筑的101公路的一段，表面现已严重开裂，并存在危险的坑洼。在同一州的另一个地区，四年多以前由Appian筑路公司修筑的66公路的一段现在依然状况良好。Appian公司最近购买了最先进的筑路机械，并雇佣了一名新的质量监控经理。由于Appian公司更优秀的工作和质量保证，我们应该和他们而不是McAdam公司签订合同修筑我们新的商业街前面的通道。

　　issue88-"Technologies not only influence but actually determine social customs and ethics."

　　argument53-Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers&apos production of melatonin—a hormone known to affect some brain functions—would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children—now teenagers—who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin bore birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life.

　　Issue 70-"In any profession-business, politics, education, government-those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership."

　　Argument214-In each city in the region of Treehaven, the majority of the money spent on government-run public school education comes from taxes that each city government collects. The region&aposs cities differ, however, in the value they place on public education. For example, Parson City typically budgets twice as much money per year as Blue City does for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. It seems clear, therore, that Parson City residents care more about public school education than do Blue City residents.

　　Issue147-"Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them.

　　16-"Although many people think that the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life are entirely harmless, in fact, they actually prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals."

　　Argument67-The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving the villages of Castorville and Polluxton.

　　"Both the villages of Castorville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments into a single department located in Castorville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Castorville to serve both villages."

　　issue8-"It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public."

　　141-Most people recognize the benits of individuality, but the fact is that personal economic success requires conformity.

　　argument30-According to information recently reported in the Eliottown Gazette, the number of people who travel to Eliottown has increased significantly over the past several years. So far this year over 100,000 people have arrived on flights to Eliottown&aposs airport, compared with only 80,000 last year and 40,000 the year bore. Eliottown&aposs train station has received more than 50,000 passengers this year, compared with less than 40,000 last year and 20,000 the year bore(5). Clearly tourism(2) in Eliottown has been increasing, thanks to the new Central Park and Museum of Modern Art that opened last year(1). Therore, the funding for the park and museum should be increased significantly(3,4).
