问题 单项选择题

一种对偏头痛有明显疗效的新药正在推广,不过服用这种药可能加剧心脏病。但是只要心脏病患者在服用该药物时严格遵从医嘱,它的有害副作用完全可以避免。因此,关于这种药物副作用的担心是不必要的。
上述论证基干以下哪项假设

A.药物有害副作用的产生都是因为患者在服用时没有严格遵从医嘱。
B.有心脏病的偏头痛患者在服用上述新药时不会违背医嘱。
C.大多数服用上述新药的偏头痛患者都有心脏病。
D.上述新药有多种副作用,但其中最严重的是会加剧心脏病。
E.上述新药将替代目前其他治疗偏头痛的药物。

答案

参考答案:B

解析:此题是演绎推理寻找前提。已知“心脏病患者严格遵从医嘱一有害副作用完全可以避免”,于是“不必担心药物副作用”。论证结论是“不必担心药物副作用”,所以,补充前提是“心脏病患者严格遵从医嘱”。注意A选项中的“药物副作用”与题干中的“新药”相比,范围扩大了,所以不能选A。

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.    

It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
