　　题目题材：家庭生活

　　gre argument 130题目：

　　The following appeared in the annual report of a chain of stores that sell supplies for do-it-yourself home improvements.

　　Current reports indicate that sales of new homes nationwide declined by 9 percent during the past year, while sales of existing homes increased by 16 percent. Thus we can expect that the percentage of homeowners who will be making repairs or improvements to their homes will also increase. In addition, people who buy existing homes will have more money left over after the purchase to spend on home improvements. Finally, people who buy existing homes are more likely to make improvements themselves, as opposed to paying someone else. These factors combined indicate we can expect an increasing demand for products in all our stores nationwide, thus increasing our profits in the coming year.

　　提纲：

　　The author simply assumes that the trends of sales of homes will continue in the coming year.

　　The author fails to inform us the total amount of new homes and existing homes respectively, maybe the increase in the sales of existing homes is insignificant.

　　The authors assumption that most existing homes sold last year need repairs or improvements, and that most homeowners of such homes are willing to make repairs and improvements is open to doubt..

　　The author fails to provide the prices of new homes and existing homes, and the financial status of people who buy the two kinds of homes, thus the assumption that people who buy existing homes will have more spare money is unwarranted.

　　No evidence could imply that people who buy existing homes are necessarily interested in DIY works.

　　The argument fails to rule out the possibility that the demand for DIY products will not increase in some regions.

　　The evidence cited above, if true, does not indicate that homeowners will choose products of the authors stores.

　　The profits of the stores would be influenced by many factors, thus the conclusion that their profits will necessarily increase is doubtful.

　　注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
