题目题材：社会
gre argument 151题目：
The following is a letter to the editor of the Atticus City newspaper.
Former Mayor Durant owes an apology to the city of Atticus. Both the damage to the River Bridge, which connects Atticus to Hartley, and the traffic problems we have long experienced on the bridge were actually caused 20 years ago by Durant. After all, he is the one who approved the construction of the bridge. If he had approved a wider and better-designed bridge, on which approximately the same amount of public money would have been spent, none of the damage or problems would have occurred. Instead, the River Bridge has deteriorated far more rapidly over the past 20 years than has the much longer Derby Bridge up the river. Even though the winters have been severe in the past several years, this is no excuse for the negligence and wastefulness of Durant.
提纲：
The author fails to illustrate that there has been any better design available at that time.
There may be no any problem with the bridge when it was constructed.
The assumption that all those problems would have been avoided if Durant had approved a wider and better-designed bridge is unwarranted.
Maybe the River Bridge was more heavily used than the Derby Bridge during the past 20 years.
The arguer ignores the positive effects of the construction of River Bridge when considering whether the construction is wasteful or not.
There are many other possible causes that could result in the bad condition of River Bridge, thus theres no reason to blame Mayor Durant alone.
