　　原始寂静：

　　V1(BY: sophie1022): Hot café CEO 在官网上做了feedback 页面。 虽然只有1500 complain 和500 建议 但是超过300000的销量 使他们觉得大部分的顾客是满意的 用FEEDBACK的方法很好，不用改进

　　V2(BY: tthere) 一个咖啡店在每个receipt上印了feedback page address, 顾客如有建议或不满可以到那上面留言。但是一段时间以后，只有100多条意见或建议，考虑到这段时间前来喝咖啡的顾客人数有上千人之多，得出结论，只有很少一部分人对产品或服务有意见，所以该咖啡店不用进行改进。

　　考古：

　　V1 有一个咖啡店的CEO根据过去6个月他们从feedback网页上得来的信息，认为客户对店卖的东西和服务都很满意，不需要作什么改进了。这个feedback登录方式印在了receipt上，CEO认为顾客都能看到。顾客通过网页提交的投诉和建议数量分别是100多和几十，相较于卖掉的咖啡数很小。

　　V2六个月了，the hot cup cafe has a website, containing a customer feedback page,然后customers可以submit comments. the website address is clearly printed on the each receipt, so it is not difficult for customer to access the feedback page. 然后呢，那六个月the hot cup cafe卖了300,000cups of coffees，但是customer feedback page最有179个complaints和87个suggestions(大概数字是这样的既不清楚了)。然后就说almost all the customers are satisfied with our current products and customer service department, so we don&apost have make any improvement。

　　V3个咖啡店在他们的网站上加了一个customer feedback page，用来做调查，并且在他们的宣传单上明确的写明了他们的网址以便客户能找到这个feedback page，在这个咖啡店卖出了300，000份咖啡中调查，发现有500+人正评价，100+给了建议。因此他们认为根本不需要这些feedback以提高他们产品的质量(原文说的是to develop the procedure)

　　V4说一个咖啡馆在网站上建了一个feedback的专页，并将网址打印在给每位顾客的Receipt上面。发现一段时间后只有一百多条抱怨和几十条建议，而在此期间咖啡馆却售出了30000杯饮料，于是作者认为咖啡馆的服务和产品非常好。

　　参考思路：

　　1.有的很多人对咖啡店不满都不会反映的，他们只会默默地不来了，所以这些人不满意也不会说

　　2.就算有的人不满意了想说，看到了那个网站，也不一定会bother去上网去做feedback

　　3.所以一旦有人有建议和complaints说明情况还蛮严重的，应该采取措施去改进

　　原始寂静：

　　V1(BY: chenjx ): the Constidated high school has 200 courses. A smaller school has only 80 courses.but smaller high school send more student to senior college than the Constitude high school does. the consituted high school plan to cancel half of courses so that they can improve perfomance and reduce costs.

　　原题：

　　The following appeared in an editorial from a newspaper serving the town of Saluda.

　　“The Saluda Consolidated High School offers over 200 different courses from which its students can choose. A much smaller private school down the street offers a basic curriculum of only 80 different courses, but it consistently sends a higher proportion of its graduating seniors on to college than Consolidated does. By eliminating at least half of the courses offered there and focusing on a basic curriculum, we could improve student performance at Consolidated and also save many tax dollars.”(此题没有中文翻译和Flaw，自己补上的，大家可以讨论一下哈)

　　SC这个高中有超过200中不同的课程，而另一个更小的私立学校之提供80个不同课程，但是那个学校的大学入学率更高。所以SC觉得应该减少至少一半的课程来提高入学率并减少赋税(前文都没有提过tax，这里突然提了一下，可能学校的course越多，tax越多吧。米国真是奇怪～)

　　七宗罪思路：

　　无因果联系：course的数量和入学率没有因果关系

　　Gratuitous assumption：错误假设是因为小学校course少入学率才高，而直接与入学率有关的只有考试分数而已

　　他因攻击：小学校学生更努力，师资力量更好等原因同样可以使入学率更高

　　Insufficient example:只是一个小学校的例子并不能说明只要course少入学率就高

　　参考范文：

　　In this editorial the author recommends that Saluda’s Consolidated High School eliminate half of its 200 courses and focus primarily on basic curriculum in order to improve student performance and save tax revenues. The author’s recommendation is problematic for several reasons.

　　To begin with, the author assumes that the only relevant difference between Consolidated and the private school is the number of courses offered by each. However, other relevant differences between the schools might account for the difference in the proportion of their graduates who go on to college. For example, the private school’s students might be selected from a pool of gifted or exceptional students, or might have to meet rigorous admission standards whereas Consolidated’s students might be drawn from the community at large with little or no qualification for admission.

　　Next, the author assumes that the proportion of students who go on to college is an overall measure of student performance. While this is a tempting assumption, its truth is by no means obvious. If student excellence is narrowly dined in terms of the student’s ability to gain access to college, this assumption is somewhat reasonable. However, given a broader conception of student excellence that takes into account student’s ability to learn and apply their knowledge to new situations, its is not obvious that college admission is reliable indicator of performance. For example, students in non-academic disciplines could conceivably perform at high levels within these disciplines but nevertheless be unable to meet college admission standards.

　　Finally, the author assumes that savings in tax revenues will result from the reduced costs of funding the paired-down curriculum. This is not necessarily true. For example, it could turn out that both programs serve the same number of students and require the same number of classrooms and teacher.

　　In conclusion, the author has not made a convincing case for the recommendation to eliminate courses at Consolidated and focus on a basic curriculum. To strengthen the conclusion the author would have to provide evidence that Consolidated and the private school were sufficiently similar to warrant the analogy between them. Moreover, the relationship between student performance and college admission and the mechanism whereby savings in tax revenues would be accomplished would have to be clarified.
