　　ISSUE103."The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives."还一个没仔细看

　　ARGUMENT:166The following appeared in a local newspaper.

　　"People should not be misled by the advertising competition between Coldex and Cold-Away, both popular over-the-counter cold medications that anyone can purchase without a doctor's prescription. Each brand is accusing the other of causing some well-known, unwanted side effect: Coldex is known to contribute to existing high blood pressure and Cold-Away is known to cause drowsiness. But the choice should be clear for most health-conscious people: Cold-Away has been on the market for much longer and is used by more hospitals than is Coldex. Clearly, Cold-Away is more effective."

　　Argument: 186.Thefollowing is a recommendation from the director of personnel to the presidentof Professional Printing Company.

　　"In a recent telephone survey of automobile factory workers, olderemployees were less likely to report that having a supervisor present increasestheir productivity. Among workers aged 18 to 29, 27 percent said that they aremore productive in the presence of their immediate supervisor, compared to 12percent for those aged 30 or over, and only 8 percent for those aged 50 orover. Clearly, if our printing company hires mainly older employees, we willincrease productivity and save money because of the reduced need forsupervisors."
