　　ISSUE:

　　In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important contributions.

　　Argument:

　　The following recommendation was made by the president and administrative staff of Grove College, a private institution, to the college's governing committee.

　　"We recommend that Grove College preserve its century-old tradition of all-female education rather than admit men into its programs. It is true that a majority of faculty members voted in favor of coeducation, arguing that it would encourage more students to apply to Grove. But eighty percent of the students responding to a survey conducted by the student government wanted the school to remain all female, and over half of the alumni who answered a separate survey also opposed coeducation. Keeping the college all-female, therefore, will improve morale among students and convince alumni to keep supporting the college financially."

　　2. 讲的是美国的只发展公路而忽视铁路的政策(highways-only policy)带来的严重后果：公路反而越来越拥挤。前半部分讲为什么公路会越来越拥挤，因为人口和汽车的增加(作为公路政策的结果，很多原来坐火车的人改坐汽车了)超过了公路的增加。后半部分讲铁路的好处是更有效率(more efficient)，因为占地少(taking less land per ridership capacity)。后面3个题，一个是主题题，一个题问为什么公路越来越拥挤，最后一个问为什么铁路更有效率。
