gre argument 180题目：
The following is a recommendation from the personnel director to the president of Acme Publishing Company.
"Many other companies(1) have recently stated that having their employees take the Easy Read Speed-Reading Course has greatly improved productivity. One graduate of the course was able to read a five-hundred-page report in only two hours(4,5); another graduate(2) rose from an assistant manager to vice president of the company in under a year(3). Obviously, the faster you can read, the more information you can absorb in a single workday. Moreover, Easy Read costs only $500 per employee—a small price(6) to pay when you consider the benefits to Acme. Included in this fee is a three-week seminar in Spruce City and a lifelong subscription to the Easy Read newsletter. Clearly, Acme would benefit greatly(8) by requiring all(7) of our employees to take the Easy Read course."
提纲：
1. The director commits a fallacy of false analogy, are these companies comparable?
2. The condition of only two graduates tells little about the actual effect of the course.
3. The director fails to establish the causal relationship between taking the Easy Read course and the reading ability of the first graduate, and the promotion of the second graduate as well.
4. No information about the reading speed of the first graduate before taking the course is provided, thus we could not evaluate the effect of the course.
5. We do not know what kind of reading material did the first graduate read, thus cannot evaluate this piece of evidence.
6. Without providing the prices of other similar courses, the assumption that 500 dollars is a cheap tuition is open to doubt.
7. The director fails to convince us that all employees at Acme Publishing Company need to improve their reading speed. Not every worker has to attain a lot of information in their workplace.
8.The director assumes without warrant that the benefits of the course will outweigh its costs.
