　　1.开gym

　　本月原始

　　作文考了gym那个，四月JJ第9个

　　考古原题

　　The following appeared in a memo to the Saluda town council from the town’s business manager.

　　“Research indicates that those who exercise regularly are hospitalized less than half as often as those who don’t exercise. By providing a well-equipped gym for Saluda’s municipal employees, we should be able to reduce the cost of our group health insurance coverage by approximately 50% and thereby achieve a balanced town budget.”

　　考古

　　V1

　　一个town的一个manager向town council提议，根据一个研究，经常锻炼的人比不经常锻炼的人去医院的可能性少了一半。为了减少政府在health insurance方面的开支以平衡公共收支，政府应该向镇子里的municipal(这词不认识纠结了好半天)employee 提供gym让他们锻炼，以减少group health insurance的开支。

　　V2

　　作文：考的是上个月关于一个咨询公司，经过研究发现定期锻炼的人比不锻炼的人住院率要低，所以公司准备给员工提供很好的健身房锻炼的福利，认为这样可以减少健康保险的支出，并且可以平衡预算。我觉得这个攻击点还是挺多的啊，什么咨询公司的员工一定是没定期锻炼才导致高住院率的吗?还有就算有健身福利，员工有时间锻炼吗?还有就是减少了健康保险的支出，就一定能够平衡预算吗?也有很多其他的原因吧，还有各种缺乏数据和具体调查吧，大家可以看着写啦~

　　V3

　　S市调查发现，经常锻炼的人就医次数少于不锻炼的人。所以S市打算新建一个well-equipped gym, 从而减少医疗保险的cost，减少的cost可以用于市政建设(或者是给市民谋福利，记不清了)。

　　V4

　　调查表明经常锻炼的人比不锻炼的人少去医院50%，所以一个manager打算提供一个gym,这样公司还是城镇的医疗保险赔付就会减少50%，有很多的gratuitous assumption

　　V5

　　a memo to city council from a business manager:

　　Research indicates that 不锻炼的人比经常锻炼的人更容易hospitalized. 所以呢，我们town要建一个 well-equipped gym，这样就可以减少health insurance coverage, 最终就可以balance town budget

　　参考思路

　　1. 可以调查：research的样本容量、统计标志都没有说明，无法保证研究结果具有一定的参考性。

　　2. 无根据假设：不一定提供了gym员工就会去锻炼，所以无法确保健康水平会提升。

　　3. 因果关系：

　　(1) insuarnce针对的也许是emergency的情况，即使提高了健康水平也不能保证降低cost

　　(2)不健康也许不是不运动导致的，也许那地方环境污染，水质不好空气不好等等。

　　参考范文

　　In this memo Saluda’s business manager recommends that the town provide a gym for its employees as a means of balancing the town’s budget. The manager reasons that since studies show that people who exercise regularly are hospitalized less than half as often than those who don’t exercise, Saluda could save approximately 50% on the cost of its group health insurance coverage by providing its employees with a well-equipped gym. The savings on insurance would balance the town’s budget. The manager’s argument is unconvincing because it rests on several unsupported and dubious assumptions.

　　First, the manager assumes that Saluda’s employees will exercise regularly if a well-equipped facility is provided for them. This assumption is questionable since the mere fact that a gym is made available for employee use is no guarantee that they will avail themselves of it at all, let alone on a regular basis.

　　Second, the manager assumes that Saluda’s employees do not exercise regularly. Once again, the manager offers no support for this crucial assumption. Obviously, if all of Sauda’s employees already engage in daily exercise, the hospitalization rate will be unaffected by equipping an exercise facility and no savings will be realized on the group health insurance.

　　Third, the manager assumes that there is a direct relation between the hospitalization rate for employees and the cost of their group health insurance such that a reduction in the hospitalization rate will result in a corresponding reduction in the cost of insurance. While this may turn out to be true, the manager has failed to offer any evidence for this claim.

　　Finally, the manager assumes that the cost of building a well-equipped exercise facility will not negate the savings realized on the group health insurance. Until evidence has been provided to show that this is not the case, the manager’s plan is unacceptable.

　　In conclusion, the business manager’s proposal to provide an exercise facility as a means of balancing Saluda’s budget is not convincing. To strengthen the argument, evidence would have to be provided for each of the assumptions listed in the previous analysis.
