gre argument 181题目：
From a letter to the editor of a city newspaper.
"One recent research study has indicated that many adolescents(1) need more sleep than they are getting, and another study has shown that many high school students in our city are actually dissatisfied(3) with their own academic performance(2,4). As a way of combating these problems, the high schools in our city(1) should begin classes at 8:30 A.M. instead of 7:30 A.M., and end the school day an hour later(6). This arrangement will give students an extra hour of sleep in the morning(5), thereby making them more alert and more productive(7). Consequently, the students will perform better on tests and other assignments, and their academic skills will improve significantly(8)."
提纲：
1. The author fails to indicate if the adolescents in our city need more sleep.
2. The author does not make it clear whether the students who lack sleep are those who feel dissatisfied with their academic performance.
3. The fact that students are dissatisfied with their academic performance does not necessarily mean that their performance is poor.
4. The author assumes without any warrant that the poor performance of those students, if it does exist, is due to inadequate sleep.
5. The proposed change in the class schedule does not guarantee that students will gain a greater amount of sleep.
6. The author fails to consider the negative effects of adopting the proposal.
7. More sleep does not necessarily make students more alert and productive.
8. The assumption that the change in school hours would suffice to improve students’ performance on tests and other assignments, as well as academic skills is open to doubt.
