argument 36，111
The following appeared in an article written by Dr. Karp, an anthropologist. 【36】
"Twenty years ago Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia and concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. However, my recent interviews with children living in the group of islands that includes Tertia show that these children spend much more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village. This research proves that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture is false, and thus that the observation-centered approach to studying cultures is invalid. Because they are using the interview-centered method, my team of graduate students working in Tertia will establish a much more accurate understanding of child-rearing traditions there and in other island cultures."
1. 抚养并不能代表提及双亲时间的长短，两者之间的关系缺乏足够证据
2．作者对于TERTIA的儿童的选取可能与FIELD不同，作者的可能不具代表性
3．采访为中心的方法的科学性缺乏足够证据证明其将对儿童抚养精确多的了解

The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of marketing at Dura-Sock, Inc. 【111】
"A recent study of Dura-Sock wearers suggests that our company is wasting the money it spends on its patented "Endure" manufacturing process, which ensures that our socks are strong enough to last for two years. Dura-Sock has always advertised its use of the "Endure" process, but the new study shows that the average Dura-Sock customer actually purchases new Dura-Socks every three months. Furthermore, Dura-Sock customers surveyed in our largest market, northeastern United States cities, say that they most value Dura-Sock's stylish appearance and availability in many colors. These findings suggest that Dura-Sock can increase its profits by discontinuing its use of the "Endure" manufacturing process."
1．可能是广告宣传作用使得消费者每三个月买一双。
2．调查地点可能不具普遍性和代表性。那里人们偏好可能与其它地方不同
3．即使停止专利使用，也不一定盈利，因为盈利受诸多因素影响

issue 13
13"Many of the world's lesser-known languages are being lost as fewer and fewer people speak them. The governments of countries in which these languages are spoken should act to prevent such languages from becoming extinct."
大部分同意。
1．保护语言，防止灭绝是对历史的尊重，也是发掘历史的有力途径。比如我国女书。
2．一旦这种语言消失，就无法对外沟通，信息传递和交流受阻，限制此地区或国家的发展。
3．过多投入是不实际和理性的。由于使用的减少而消失也说明其作为沟通的工具的作用已经被更先进的语言取代，无用的东西花更多精力财力是没有太多价值的。
