gre argument 213题目：
The following appeared in a memorandum from the owner of Armchair Video, a chain of video rental stores
"Because of declining profits, we must reduce operating expenses at Armchair Video's ten video rental stores. Raising prices is not a good option (1), since we are famous for our special bargains. Instead, we should reduce our operating hours. Last month (3) our store in downtown Marston (4) reduced its hours by closing at 6:00 P.M. rather than 9:00 P.M. and reduced its overall inventory by no longer stocking any film released more than two years ago. Since we have received very few customer complaints about these new policies (2, 5), we should now adopt them (6) at all other Armchair Video stores as our best strategies for improving profits (7)."
提纲：
(1)The owner fails to sufficiently illustrate that why raising prices would not be a good solution for improving profits.
(2)The fact that few customer complaints were received does not indicate that most customers are satisfied with these policies.
(3)The new policies were implemented only one month ago, the situation of this month might not be representative of that of the whole year, or the negative effects might not have emerged yet.
(4)The success of the new policies at one store does not ensure that adopting them would necessarily be successful at all other Armchair stores.
(5)The owner fails to provide any information concerning the possible change in the profit of the store in Marston after the policies were adopted, thus we cannot evaluate if we should adopt them at all other stores.
(6)The owner fails to consider many negative effects of the new policies.
(7)There are many other possible measures we can adopt to improve profits.
