　　Issue: 207. "Rituals and ceremonies help dine a culture. Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are."

　　礼节和典礼有助于定义一个文化。如果没有这些，社会或者团体就会逐渐地迷失自我。

　　(Issue207在上个月的机经中名列第19位，我自己写了前33篇，真是幸运，毕竟自己写过还是有感觉。此外我发现文化类很容易出这个，认识一个G友也抽了这样一道题，不过他觉得文化类不好写而选择了另一篇。我的另一篇因为是低频，记不太清了。)

　　Argument：178. The following appeared in the annual report from the president of the National Brush Company.

　　"In order to save money, we at the National Brush Company have decided to pay our employees for each brush they produce instead of for the time they spend producing brushes. We believe that this policy will lead to the production of more and better brushes, will allow us to reduce our staff size, and will enable the company factories to operate for fewer hours-resulting in savings on electricity and security costs. These changes will ensure that the best workers keep their jobs and that the company will earn a profit in the coming year."

　　为节省开支，我们National Brush公司决定不再按员工生产刷子的工时支付工资，而是按他们生产刷子的数量来支付。我们相信这一政策将会导致刷子产量和质量的提高，将会减少我们的员工数量，并将会使工厂能够减少运营时间从而导致电费和保安费用的节省。这些改革将保证那些最好的工人留在这里工作，公司将会在来年有更多的盈利。
