gre argument 155题目：
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
"Too much emphasis is placed on the development of reading skills in elementary school. Many(2) students who are discouraged by the lonely activity of reading turn away from schoolwork merely because they are poor readers. But books recorded on audiocassette tape provide an important alternative for students at this crucial stage in their education(1), one the school board should not reject merely because of the expense involved(3). After all, many studies attest to the value(4) of allowing students to hear books read aloud; there is even evidence that students whose parents read to them(5) are even more likely to become able readers. Thus, hearing books on tape can only make students more eager to read and to learn. Therefore, the school board should encourage schools to buy books on tape and to use them in elementary education(6)."
提纲：
(1)No direct evidence could illustrate that hearing books on tape could indeed improve students’ reading ability.
(2)The author fails to provide the actual number of dropouts who leave school because of their poor reading ability, and the fraction of them in all students, thus we cannot evaluate if the problem is significant.
(3)The author fails to point out the actual cost of using books on tape, and if the school and parents could afford.
(4)The author fails to demonstrate what kind of value do those studies attest, thus we cannot evaluate the actual effect of books on tape on improving students’ reading ability.
(5)Hearing books on tape may not have the same effect as having parents read to students.
(6)The author ignores other better ways to resolve the problem.
