argument90：

5 to 20 percent那条论据中，作者想说5-20 percent是多还是少？因为多了才建议装配，这符合正常的论证思路，可是我怎么总感觉这不是一个很大的数字；
还有什么叫detectable plaque？有这个就一定加厚walls吗？那个探针是探有没有plaque, 还是探plaque有没有加厚血管壁的？

总之这条论据没看懂。

argument161

misrepresent 是什么意思？是说那些人的回答没有代表性？还是说那些人在瞎说？

argument167

short period概念模糊该不该批？批的话怎么展开？
样本可能有问题，薰衣草可能只对一小部分人（恰好就是这些人）有用，这个该不该批？

argument173:

new stories on fron cover是怎么回事？什么叫front cover？
怎么能把story刊登在封面上呢？

谢谢！！

有这种感觉就一定可以反驳拉。这种百分比全都可以批

。。。这个不懂

总之这条论据没看懂。

瞎说的

批，就说很多病是慢性的，治疗也是，或者也许药治标不治本

样本可能有问题，薰衣草可能只对一小部分人（恰好就是这些人）有用，这个该不该批？

批，代表性问题，狠狠批

怎么能把story刊登在封面上呢？
鬼知道，别理他。Over the same period, competing news-magazines have significantly decreased the number of cover stories that they devote to international news.
这里错在就写了个事实，其他的盈利阿什么的都不写。什么都没说明。这段等于是废话。而且暴露了一个商机

The following appeared in an editorial on health problems in the country of Corpora.

"Some pharmacies now feature ultrasound machines that screen for an elevated risk of stroke. For a fee, a technician presses a probe against the neck to determine whether any plaque has thickened the walls of the main artery leading to the brain. Researchers have shown that a thickening of artery walls is associated with elevated stroke risk, and such scans typically find that anywhere from 5 to 20 percent of clients have detectable plaque. All pharmacies should offer this service, because early detection of increased risk for stroke will encourage clients to consult with their doctors and make important life-style changes to reduce their risk of having a stroke. This in turn will cause a decrease in overall medical costs in Corpora."

In a study of reading habits of Leeville citizens conducted by the University of Leeville, most respondents said they preferred literary classics as reading material. However, a follow-up study conducted by the same researchers found that the type of book most frequently checked out of each of the public libraries in Leeville was the mystery novel. Therefore, it can be concluded that the respondents in the first study had misrepresented their reading habits.

misrepresent 是什么意思？是说那些人的回答没有代表性？还是说那些人在瞎说？

A folk remedy* for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers, has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored. During the first week, volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers discontinued their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. This shows that over a short period of time lavender cures insomnia.

short period概念模糊，或者我认为根本没有治愈，该不该批？批的话怎么展开？
样本可能有问题，薰衣草可能只对一小部分人（恰好就是这些人）有用，这个该不该批？

The following is a memorandum issued by the publisher of a newsmagazine, Newsbeat, in the country of Dinn.

"Our poorest-selling magazine issues over the past three years were those that featured international news stories on their front covers. Over the same period, competing news-magazines have significantly decreased the number of cover stories that they devote to international news. Moreover, the cost of maintaining our foreign bureaus to report on international news is increasing. Therefore, we should decrease our emphasis on international news and refrain from displaying such stories on our magazine covers."

new stories on fron cover是怎么回事？什么叫front cover？
怎么能把story刊登在封面上呢？还是刊登了新闻标题？
就是我不明白，如果问题只是出在封面标题太多，那把封面标题减少而不必减少实际新闻数量是不是就行了？
