gre argument 226题目：
The following appeared as part of a memo from the manager of an automobile manufacturing company.
"Because the demand for our automobiles is expected to increase dramatically, we need to open a new manufacturing plant(1) as soon as possible in order to continue to thrive. Our marketing projections(2) indicate that 80 million people will want to buy our automobiles(3,6), yet our existing plant can only produce 40 million automobiles. The new plant can be opened on a part-time basis, with workers from our existing site rotating responsibilities(4,5), until an operational staff can be trained. A major airplane manufacturer(7) was extremely successful(8) using this part-time rotating strategy when it opened its new plant five years ago."
提纲：
(1)The manager fails to consider the cost of opening a new plant, and if the company could afford it. Furthermore, the new plant would not be necessarily if the trend of consumers’ demand will not continue in the future.
(2)Without any detailed information about the actual procedure and method used in the marketing projections, the reliability of the projections is open to doubt.
(3)The manager unfairly assumes that there will be no significant change in some conditions which would influence the potential consumers’ choice and decision in the future.
(4)The manager fails to consider if their workers are willing to accept this rotating responsibilities.
(5)The manager ignores some negative effects of the part-time rotating strategy.
(6)Opening a second plant might not ensure that the company could meet the projected demand.
(7)The airplane manufacturer may not be comparable with the automobile manufacturing company.
(8)The manager fails to identify what constituted "success" for the airplane manufacturer, thus we cannot evaluate if the strategy is effective.
