------题目------
The following appeared in the business section of a newspaper.
'Given that the number of people in our country with some form of arthritis is expected to rise from 40 million to 60 million over the next twenty years, pharmaceutical companies that produce drugs for the treatment of arthritis should be very profitable. Many analysts believe that in ten years Becton Pharmaceuticals, which makes Xenon, the best-selling drug treatment for arthritis, will be the most profitable pharmaceutical company. But the patent on Xenon expires in three years, and other companies will then be able to produce a cheaper version of the drug. Thus, it is more likely that in ten years the most profitable pharmaceutical company will be Perkins Pharmaceuticals, maker of a new drug called Xylan, which clinical studies show is preferred over Xenon by seven out of ten patients suffering from the most extreme cases of arthritis.'
------正文------
The argument want to support the Becton Pharmaceutical Company(BP) will make the most profitable than any company including the Perkins Pharmaceutical Company(PP) by producing a new drug called the Xenon in the next ten years. The arguer supports some statistics and a study which proved his conclusion is warranted. Nevertheless, a careful examination of the argument is how groudness in it.
In the first place, the arguer provides the numbers of the arthritis in the next 20 years which is qustionable. No one gives the numbers of the enrollment population. So from 40 million to 60 million, we can't have enough evidence to prove the rate of the patient increases rapidly.Aditionally,the arguer concludes that the PP will the most profitbal company only camparing the BP company,perhaps there are more other drug company indeed.
In the second place, even though the numbers of the arthritis patient increases in the future, the patient will not be certain to use the drugs to treat. As the technology developing fast, other treatment may cure the arthritis much better, and the pain is less and less. The patient who don't have the medicine will recuperate like others. So if the treatments are used widely, who will buy the drug of arthritis?Moreover,the profit is relation between revenue and cost.Even though the revenue increases,the cost is not certain to spend lower.The cost cantains t the expense ofhe original medical material, the advertisement,the transportion and so on.Therefore, there is not insufficient evidence to conclued that the drug could bring us more profit.
Finally, there is no complete evidence to proved that the Xenon is used spread than the Xylan by studying the population of patients. The statistics of the sample is not certain, we can't draw a conclusion to infer the population through the small sample. Also, are the patients in the sample random and independent samples? Even the patient now choose the Xenon, there will not enough evidences to choose the Xylan in the future. Maybe the Xylan is much more cheap in all probability than the Xylan in the future.
In sum, whether the BP company will make profitable by producing the Xenon will be provided more evidences. The argument should make clear that the date rates in the population and survey many more patients in the hospital. In addition, the argument should clarify the revenue and the cost of the company, so we can infer it will or not make a profit.
