劉文勇GRE寫作Argument題庫(kù) Day 122

Day 122 In a controlled laboratory study of liquid hand soaps, a concentrated solution of extra strength UltraClean hand soap produced a 40 percent greater reduction in harmful bacteria

The following appeared in a memo from the director of a large group of hospitals.

“In a controlled laboratory study of liquid hand soaps, a concentrated solution of extra strength UltraClean hand soap produced a 40 percent greater reduction in harmful bacteria than did the liquid hand soaps currently used in our hospitals. During our recent test of regular-strength UltraClean with doctors, nurses, and visitors at our hospital in Worktown, the hospital reported significantly fewer cases of patient infection (a 20 percent reduction) than did any of the other hospitals in our group. The explanation for the 20 percent reduction in patient infections is the use of UltraClean soap.”

Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument.

【本題與Day 62和Day 121相似，不同之處：（1）最后一句“The explanation for the 20 percent reduction in patient infections is the use of UltraClean soap”是結(jié)論。（2）醫(yī)院報(bào)告病人感染病例減少有說服力嗎？醫(yī)院會(huì)不會(huì)帶有偏向性，或者為了維護(hù)醫(yī)院的聲譽(yù)故意隱瞞真實(shí)數(shù)據(jù)呢？（3）不用反駁 Day 62的第（4）問?！?/p>
