gre argument 206题目：
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Parkville Daily Newspaper.
"Throughout the country(1) last year, as more and more children below the age of nine participated in youth-league softball and soccer(10), over 80,000 of these young players(2) suffered injuries(3,4,5). When interviewed for a recent study, youth-league softball players(6) in several major cities also reported psychological pressure(7) from coaches and parents to win games. Furthermore, education experts say that long practice sessions for these sports take away time that could be used for academic activities(8,9). Since the disadvantages apparently outweigh any advantages(11), we in Parkville should discontinue organized athletic competition(10) for children under nine."
提纲：
(1)The fact that many young players suffered injuries throughout the country does not necessarily indicate that Parkville should discontinue athletic competition.
(2)Without the total number of children who participated in the competitions we could not evaluate the situation.
(3)The author does not differentiate the severity of injuries.
(4)We need to know how about the injury-rate of those young players compared with children who do not participate in these games.
(5)We do not know the rate of injuries before children participated in these games, thus could not evaluate if the situation are getting worse.
(6)The players in the recent study might not be representative of all young players.
(7)The young players at Parkville may not necessarily also suffer psychological pressure as the players do in those major cities.
(8)The author unfairly assumes that children would use the time for academic activities if they did not take part in those games.
(9)No information about the academic performance of the children who participated in youth-leagues is provided, thus we could not judge if we need to discontinue athletic competition to guarantee more academic activities for these students.
(10)The fact that many children were injured in softball and soccer games does not indicate that we should discontinue all other athletic competitions.
(11)The author fails to consider the positive effects of athletic competition.
