　　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."

　　Issue:61"High-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize are actually damaging to society because they suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition."

　　argument:214 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.

　　Issue11. The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general welfare of all its people.

　　一个伟大国家最真实的体现不是它的统治者、艺术家或者科学家的成就，而是他所有老百姓的普通福利(幸福)。

　　argument1.The following appeared in a memorandum written by the vice president of Nature&aposs Way, a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products.

　　"Previous experience has shown that our stores are most profitable in areas where residents are highly concerned with leading healthy lives. We should therore build our next new store in Plainsville, which has many such residents. Plainsville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise clothing are at all-time highs. The local health club, which nearly closed five years ago due to lack of business, has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobics classes are always full.We can even anticipate a new generation of customers: Plainsville&aposs schoolchildren are required to participate in a fitness for life program, which emphasizes the benits of regular exercise at an early age."

　　以前的经验显示，我们的商店在那些居民对健康生活高度关注的地区是盈利最多的。因此我们应该把下一家连锁店开设在Plainsville，那里有很多这样的居民。Plainsville的商家报告说运动鞋和运动衣的销售处于历史高点。当地一家五年前因缺乏客源而濒临倒闭的康体俱乐部现在的会员比以往任何时候都多，减肥训练和体操班总是满员。我们还可以预见到新生代的顾客群：Plainsville的在校学生被要求参加一个叫做"终生健康"的项目，它强调从小开始经常锻炼的好处。

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

　　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 malls."

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

　　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.

　　ISSUE141."Most people recognize the benits of individuality, but the fact is that personal economic success requires conformity."

　　158.The arts (music, dance, visual arts, etc.) are vitally important to students&apos education and should therore receive as much emphasis as mathematics, science, reading and other mainstream subjects."

　　ARGU67.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."
