　　Muscle Monthly杂志

　　本月原始

　　坐稳我考的很简单，就是有个神经病报纸说，因为Musclexx杂志上有一大群猛男猛女，还feature 了state of the art excersice machine, 机器的厂家Skyview无节操的说这机器卖的炒鸡快。然后报纸头一热的就总结说to maximize fitness levels of region resident, 要给community fitness center也买这个机器。

　　攻击点1：让居民fit和买机器一毛钱关系都没有。即使买了居民也可能不用，达不到goal

　　2：杂志上展示猛男，猛男旁边有这台机器的照片怎么了…哪条收据说这些fitnessbuilder用了这台机器才长这么凶猛的…联想力太强了

　　3：厂家说卖的好就卖的好啊…无图无真相

　　考古原题

　　The following appeared in the letters-to-the-editor section of a local newspaper.

　　“Muscle Monthly, a fitness magazine that regularly features pictures of bodybuilders using state-of-the-art exercise machines, frequently sells out, according to the owner of Skyview Newsstand. To help maximize fitness levels in our town’s residents, we should, therefore, equip our new community fitness center with such machines.”

　　参考思路

　　1. 无根据假设：MM总卖完=MM的内容都对=exercise machine很有用，杂志卖得好得原因不一定是因为刊登这个机器，很可能是价钱便宜，或其他的内容吸引读者。社区健身中心有了machine居民们的健康就能大为改善。

　　2. 质疑：Skyview摊主的话是不是中立?

　　3. From 狗主：我的论点是，杂志好卖不一定是因为健身员的图片，可能是因为价格，内容还有其他文化因素。即使是，也不能肯定该镇的人就会喜欢该健身员，甚至健身器材。也许杂志是在东部或者北部甚至国外好卖，不一定镇里的人都买啊。如果连喜欢都不喜欢，怎么用?就算镇里人士喜欢该健身器材，那也不代表人会去用，那个还是受其他很多因素影响的。

　　参考范文

　　In this argument the author concludes that the new community fitness center should be equipped with the state-of-the-art exercise machines featured in Muscle Monthly magazine. In support of this recommendation two reasons are offered: (1) Muscle Monthly contains pictures of bodybuilders using such machines, and (2) Muscle Monthly is a popular magazine, as evidenced by the fact that it frequently sells out at the local newsstand. This argument is questionable on two counts.

　　First, a major implication of the argument is that the bodybuilders pictured using the machines in Muscle Monthly magazine reached their state of fitness as a result of using these machines. The only evidence offered to support this contention, however, is the pictures in the magazine. It is possible that the bodybuilders pictured use different equipment for their workouts and are merely posing with the machines for advertising purposes.

　　Second, the author assumes that machines that are suitable for bodybuilding will also be suitable to help maximize the fitness levels of the town’s residents. This assumption is highly questionable. Machines designed to increase muscle development are significantly different from those designed to increase cardiovascular fitness. Consequently, it is unlikely that the machines pictured in the magazine will be of much use to help maximize the fitness levels of the town’s residents.

　　In conclusion, this argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to show that the bodybuilders pictured using the exercise machines actually used the machines to reach their level of muscle development. Additionally, the author would have to show that the machines were suitable for increasing the fitness levels of the persons using them.
