8.The following appeared in a memorandum issued by the strategic planningdepartment at Omni Inc.

"Mesa Foods, a manufacturer of snack foods that currently markets itsproducts within a relatively small region of the country, has strong growthpotential. Mesaenjoyed a 20 percent increase in profits last year, and its best-sellingproduct, Diabolique Salsa, has had increased sales over each of the past threeyears. Since Omni Inc. is interested in reaching 14-to-25 year olds, the agegroup that consumes the most snack food, we should buy Mesa Foods, and concentratein particular on marketing Diabolique Salsa throughout the country."

1.It is lack of persuasion that Buying a firm only through its growth potentialbecause to buy a company contains a series of problems, such as humanresources, management, and many other factors.

2.The reason to buy M is that its best product---D sold well last year. There isno evidence shows that it will make profits in the future. And there is noclear data signs that M as a regional enterprise will also be adoptedgenerally.

3.O’s target market is people who is 14-to-25 years old, evidence given above didnot show that D is popular in these kinds of people. Perhaps D is preferred bychildren or elders.

9.The following appeared in a memorandum from a dean at Omega University.

"Fifteen years ago, Omega University implemented anew procedure that encouraged students to evaluate the teaching effectivenessof all their professors. Since that time, Omega professors have begun to assignhigher grades in their classes, and overall student grade averages at Omegahave risen by thirty percent. Potential employers apparently believe the gradesat Omega are inflated; this would explain why Omega graduates have not been assuccessful at getting jobs as have graduates from nearby Alpha University.To enable its graduates to secure better jobs, Omega Universityshould now terminate student evaluation of professors."

1.前提错误，论断的前提是评论工程使得学生的分数虚夸，这是非常不公平的。论断没有提供有力证据证明学生的实际水平没有比以前有所提高，或是教师的确在给一些能力不高的学生打高分。

2.潜在雇主认为分数虚夸，却没有提供任何这方面的证据，让人怀疑真实度。

3.在与邻近的A校相比中，没有给出任何A校学生的相应数据，无法将O校学生与A校性比。缺少比较的信息。可能因为A校的排名比O校高，才会使得A校学生更容易被录取。

4.结论认为，取消评议教授会使上述现象得到好转时没有根据的。很多因素都会因响学生是否找到工作，其中很重要的一条是专业是否有市场，另外经济是在萧条期还是繁荣期也会影响到学生找工作。

10.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper.

"The department of agriculture in Bataviareports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is now 25 percentgreater than it was 10 years ago. During this same time period, however, theprice of milk at the local Excello Food Market has increased from $1.50 to over$3.00 per gallon. To prevent farmers from continuing to receive excessiveprofits on an apparently increased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulateretail milk prices. Such regulation is necessary to ensure both lower pricesand an adequate supply of milk for consumers."

1.没有提供相应的证据证明牛奶农们获得了多余的利润。论者也没有对牛奶生产所需的成本作任何调查，也没有提供农民获得的赢利具体是多少，更没有提供这样的赢利与其他产品的市场相比是否超出了应该的范围。

2. 奶农数量的上升并不能支持奶价的上涨，根据一般规律，产品数量上升反而会带来相应价格的下降。论据却没有提供任何有关牛奶产量的资料，这并不能排除农场数量增多的同时，单个农场的产量却在下降，从而导致市场上牛奶供应持平甚致有可能下降。牛奶价格上涨有可能是整个经济环境的问题，比如说通货膨胀，论据没有提供任何有关整个市场或是其他商品价格变化的资料。

3. 论者认为市场的牛奶价格过高需要规范，以保证消费者获得低价足够的牛奶供应。但是他却忽视了一个重要问题就是牛奶的价格上涨正反应了牛奶需求量的上升。如果调低价格，牛奶市场就会失去一部现有的牛奶资源，从而导致供应不足。



还是中文的省事啊，这劳什子的英文提纲还是等考完期末再做打算吧............
