题目题材：健身休闲，商业
gre argument 217题目：
The following appeared in a brochure promoting the purchase of local franchises for a national chain of gyms.
Now is the time to invest in a Power-Lift Gym franchise so that you can profit from opening one of our gyms in your town. Consider the current trends: Power-Lift Gyms are already popular among customers in 500 locations, and national surveys indicate increasing concern with weight loss and physical fitness. Furthermore, last years sales of books and magazines on personal health totaled more than $50 million, and purchases of home exercise equipment almost doubled. Investing now in a Power-Lift Gym franchise will guarantee a quick profit.
提纲：
The author fails to inform us the profitability of former Power-Lift Gyms.
The national trend and popularity of Power-Lift Gyms in other 500 locations do not necessarily ensure the gyms will be profitable in every specific region.
The result of the national survey does not indicate that people who are concerned about weight loss and physical fitness will also be interested in Power-Lift Gyms.
The sales of personal health books and magazines and the number of purchases of home exercise equipment could tell nothing about the profitability of Power-Lift Gyms.
The fact that Power-Lift Gyms are already popular in 500 locations, and that purchased of home exercise equipment doubled may just indicate that the demand for such gyms will decline.
We do not know the cost of a Power-Lift Gym, and the detailed process of installation and management of the gym, thus a quick profit cannot be guaranteed.
Without knowing other requirements of opening such a gym we could not make the decision.
