GMAT新黄金80题及范文(十五)

　　112. The following appeared in a memo to the Saluda town council from the towns business manager.

　　Research indicates that those who exercise regularly are hospitalized less than half as often as those who dont exercise. By providing a well-equipped gym for Saludas 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.

　　Saluda镇的商业管理者给镇议会的备忘录：

　　研究显示有规律地锻炼的人生病的概率比不运动的人要小一半。通过给Saluda的市政雇员提供一个设备良好的体育馆，我们应该可以大约减少50%的健康保险支出并得到平衡的镇预算。

　　1. There is no causal relationship between the development of the employees health and the provision of a well-equipped gym.

　　2. Therefore, the reduction of the cost of group health insurance coverage expected by the author is not guaranteed.

　　3. Even if the provision of the gym can cause a reduction of the cost, no one can rely on it to achieve a balanced town budget since the health incidents occur very randomly.

　　In this memo Saludas business manager recommends that the town provide a gym for its employees as a means of balancing the towns budget. The manager reasons that since studies show that people who exercise regularly are hospitalized less than half as often than those who dont 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 towns budget. The managers argument is unconvincing because it rests on several unsupported and dubious assumptions.
