gre argument 28题目:
The following is a memo from the superintendent of the Mylar school district.
"A recent six-month study, in which breakfast was made available at school for 100 schoolchildren(1) ages five to twelve, found that children on the breakfast plan were less likely than other children to be absent from or late for school(2). Clearly, eating breakfast before school plays a role in reducing student absenteeism and tardiness. It is also well known that children who regularly eat a healthful breakfast tend to perform better in school(4). Therefore, in order to reduce absenteeism and tardiness and to improve academic performance in all of Mylar's elementary and secondary schools(3), we should provide breakfasts(5) for all students(6,7) before each school day(8)."
提纲:
(1) The participants of the study may not be representative of all schoolchildren.
(2) The reduced absenteeism might have been due to other explanation.
(3) Secondary-school students might not behave the same as elementary schoolchildren under similar conditions.
(4) The better performance of the children cited by the superintendent may results from other reasons rather than eating breakfast regularly.
(5) The superintendent does not prove that the district’s breakfast would be healthy enough, or that our students will eat the breakfast regularly.
(6) The feasibility of providing breakfast for each student is open to doubt.
(7) The conclusion that all students need to eat breakfast provided by the district is unfounded.
(8) Other possible measures could also be applied to achieve the superintendents' purpose.
