gre argument 216题目：
The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement.
"Because of its spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate, Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire(4). As a bonus, housing costs in Clearview have fallen(1) significantly during the past year(2), and real estate taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns(3). Nevertheless, Clearview's mayor promises(5) many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services(6). Retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians(7) in the area is far greater than the national average(8)."
提纲：
(1)The variation in the housing costs does not indicate that Clearview has advantage in housing costs.
(2)We cannot guarantee that housing costs in Clearview will not increase in the future.
(3)We need to know the average real estate taxes of the whole nation, non-neighboring cities might enjoy even lower real estate taxes.
(4)We do not know other conditions in Clearview which would influence retirees’ decisions, such as commodity price, transportation, etc.
(5)We do not know if the mayor can keep his promise, and how long does it take to finish those improvements.
(6)The mayor’s promise might just indicate that those facilities are in bad condition now.
(7)The number of physicians does not necessarily indicate the quality of health care.
(8)Although the number of physicians in Clearview is relatively high, the per capita number might be relatively low.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
