GRE argument 129题目：
The following appeared in the Sherwood Times newspaper.
"A recent study reported that pet owners have longer, healthier lives on average than do people who own no pets(1,2). Specifically, dog owners tend to have a lower incidence of heart disease. In light of these findings, Sherwood Hospital should form a partnership with Sherwood Animal Shelter to institute an 'adopt-a-dog' program(3,5). The program would encourage dog ownership for patients recovering from heart disease(4,7), which will help reduce medical costs(6) by reducing the number of these patients needing ongoing treatment. In addition, the publicity about the program will encourage more people(9) to adopt pets(8) from the shelter, which will reduce the risk of heart disease in the general population(10)."
提纲：
(1)No causal relationship between owning pets and healthier lives of the pet owners is established.
(2)There may be other differences between people who own pets and those who do not.
(3)Pets could cause other health problems.
(4)The author fails to illustrate that owning a dog would have the same positive effects on recovery of heart disease as it has on preventing heart disease.
(5)Some patients may not be willing to adopt a dog, or capable of owning dogs, or could afford raising a dog.
(6)The patients may suffer form other health problems, thus their medical expenses would not necessarily decrease even if owning a dog could indeed lower the risk of heart disease.
(7)The author unfairly assumes that at least a significant number of people who adopt pets from the shelter will have risks of heart disease.
(8)The author fails to illustrate that adopting other pets would have the same effect on preventing heart disease as owning a dog has.
(9)The author hastily assumes that the proposed program would be appealing to the general public.
(10)Since the risk of heart disease in the general population might be influenced by many factors, implementing the program alone may not sufficiently reduce the risk.
