GRE官方题库原题140
The following appeared in a newsletter offering advice to investors.
"Over 80 percent of the respondents to a recent survey indicated a desire to reduce their intake of foods containing fats and cholesterol, and today low-fat products abound in many food stores. Since many of the food products currently marketed by Old Dairy Industries are high in fat and cholesterol, the company's sales are likely to diminish greatly and company profits will no doubt decrease. We therefore advise Old Dairy stockholders to sell their shares, and other investors not to purchase stock in this company."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the advice and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the advice.
题目翻译
最近一次调查中超过80%的回应者表达了他们想减少含脂肪和胆固醇的食品的愿望,现在很多食品商店都提供丰富的低脂肪食品。由于Old Dairy Industries当前生产的很多产品都有很高的脂肪和胆固醇含量,该公司的销量有可能严重下降,其盈利无疑会减少。因而我们建议Old Dairy的贡持有者抛出他们所持的股份,其他投资者也不应购买该公司的股份。
题目分析
1. 该调查未必能反映人们对于低脂肪低胆固醇食物的购买需求。因为首先,作者没有说明样本的数量,因此我们不清楚回应者占了多少比例,他们是否具有代表性;其次,即使人们有购买的想法,也未必有购买的需求,因为含脂肪和胆固醇的食物是营养所需,且通常十分美味,所以人们未必能够抵制住购买它的冲动。
2. 即使人们确实有购买需求,便利性也未必会让他们就去购买。因为人们的购买行为也由他们的购买能力和产品的特征有关,所以未必人们会因为便利性而选择这类产品。比如人们更倾向于购买质量较高的产品,这时这类产品就未必能够占优势。
3. 即使人们有不够买高脂肪高胆固醇食品的需求,这家公司也未必会因此而衰败。因为人们可能会因为其他原因而购买这家公司的产品,比如色、香、味、质量、安全等。所以我们不能认为人们就会放弃这家公司的产品。
