原题目如下
TOPIC: ARGUMENT203 - The following appeared in a newspaper feature story.
"At the small, nonprofit hospital in the town of Saluda, the average length of a patient's stay is two days; at the large, for-profit hospital in the nearby city of Megaville, the average patient stay is six days. Also, the cure rate among patients in the Saluda hospital is about twice that of the Megaville hospital. The Saluda hospital has more employees per patient than the hospital in Megaville, and there are few complaints about service at the local hospital. Such data indicate that treatment in smaller, nonprofit hospitals is more economical and of better quality than treatment in larger, for-profit hospitals."
还有筒靴的思路是围着所谓的“省钱”和“质量”这个来说
A. 作者提供论断不能说明小医院的质量高。逗留时间没有意义,可能小医院治疗的都是轻微的疾病所以逗留时间短,或者小医院病房有限医疗设备有限患者未康复就被迫出院;小医院治愈率高也是因为病情的原因;医务人员数量多不一定保证医疗水平高,对服务投诉少也是相对的,因为患者少
B. 作者提供论断也不能说明小医院更经济。非营利性医院不一定收费低;逗留时间少不一定花钱少
C. 即使S更经济且质量更高,也不能说明所有的小型非营利性医院都如此。
