　　issue51-"Education will be truly fective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."

　　ISSUE69 -"Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development."

　　argu190-The following is a letter to the editor of the Glenville Gazette, a local newspaper.

　　"Over the past few years(1), the number of people who have purchased advance tickets(2) for the Glenville Summer Concert series has declined, indicating lack of community support(3). Although the weather has been unpredictable in the past few years, this cannot be the reason for the decline in advance ticket purchases, because many people(4) attended the concerts even in bad weather. Clearly, then, the reason for the decline is the choice of music(5), so the organizers of the concert should feature more modern music(6) in the future and should be sure to include music composed by Richerts, whose recordings Glenville residents purchase more often than any other contemporary recordings(7). This strategy will undoubtedly increase advance ticket purchases and will increase attendance at the concerts(8)."

　　Issue203-The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines.

　　Argument 11-The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of West Egg.

　　"Two years ago, our consultants predicted that West Egg&aposs landfill, which is used for garbage disposal, would be completely filled within five years. During the past two years, however, town residents have been recycling twice as much aluminum and paper as they did in previous years. Next month the amount of material recycled should further increase, since charges for garbage pickup will double. Furthermore, over ninety percent of the respondents to a recent survey said that they would do more recycling in the future. Because of our residents&apos strong commitment to cycling, the available space in our landfill should last for considerably longer than predicted."

　　ISSUE7-"The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."

　　ARGUE171-The following appeared in a memo from the marketing director of Bargain Brand Cereals.

　　"One year ago we introduced our first product, &aposBargain Brand&apos breakfast cereal. Our very low prices quickly drew many customers away from the top-selling cereal companies. Although the companies producing the top brands have since tried to compete with us by lowering their prices, and although several plan to introduce their own budget brands, not once have we needed to raise our prices to continue making a profit. Given our success selling cereal, Bargain Brand should now expand its business and begin marketing other low-priced food products as quickly as possible."

　　issue59-"Too much emphasis is placed on role models. Instead of copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them."

　　argu53-Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers&apos production of melatonin—a hormone known to affect some brain functions—would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children—now teenagers—who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin bore birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life.

　　argu51-The following appeared in a medical newsletter.

　　"Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment."
