GRE官方题库原题84

The following is a recommendation from the Board of Directors of Monarch Books.

"We recommend that Monarch Books open a café in its store. Monarch, having been in business at the same location for more than twenty years, has a large customer base because it is known for its wide selection of books on all subjects. Clearly, opening the café would attract more customers. Space could be made for the café by discontinuing the children's book section, which will probably become less popular given that the most recent national census indicated a significant decline in the percentage of the population under age ten. Opening a café will allow Monarch to attract more customers and better compete with Regal Books, which recently opened its own café."

Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

题目翻译

我们建议M书店在店内开设一个咖啡厅。M书店在目前的店址上已经经营了20多年，并由于其广泛的图书种类而拥有了庞大的客户群体。很明显，新开设的咖啡厅会吸引更多的客户，空间可以通过撤出儿童书籍柜台来获得，因为最近一次全国调查显示10岁以下儿童的比率显著下降，所以儿童书就可能没以前那么畅销。开设新咖啡厅将会使M吸引更多客户并更好的与最近刚开设了咖啡厅的R书店展开竞争。

题目分析

1. 全国性的调查结论未必在当地适用。可能当地有特定的鼓励生育的政策，使出生率很高。

2. 即使当地十岁以下孩子的比例确实在减少，也没有证据表明儿童书会不受欢迎。可能十岁以下孩子的绝对数量在升高;或是最近动画片的热播使每个孩子需要更多的儿童书。这都可能使儿童书更加受欢迎。

3. 即使儿童书确实在未来不受欢迎，也没有证据表明应该把其关闭来开咖啡店。可能儿童书的销售收入比咖啡店高好多;况且该书店是以书类齐全而著名，关闭儿童书部分可能会让该店名誉扫地，最终门可罗雀;或是当地人不怎么喜欢喝咖啡等。

4. R书店开咖啡店的效果未必好，说不定并不受欢迎。即使R书店开的咖啡店效果不错，也不代表M书店应该效仿。两店情况不同，各有特色。可能R店以小清新著名，咖啡店自然适合;而M店以书的品种齐全，不应东施效颦。
