题目

The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement.

"Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire, because it has spectacular natural beauty and a consistent climate. Another advantage is that housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Moreover, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. And best of all, retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

题目翻译

由于Clearview的天然景色和温和气候，它应该成为那些为退休后寻找生活地的人的首选。另一项好处是，Clearview的房价在去年显著下降，税赋一直比邻近城市低。而且，Clearview 的市长承诺了很多新方案来改善学校、街道和公共服务。最好的一点是，Clearview的

退休人员也可以在老年时享受到出色的医疗服务，因为该地区的医生数量高于全国平均水平。

提纲分析

1. Clearview的房价下降和赋税比邻近城市低，并不能足以说明该城市生活花销少或宜居，且缺少具体数据比较等。

2. 虽然提及市长的承诺，但只是说要改善，并不明确了解新方案尤其是涉及公共服务等方面的具体举措有什么，也不确定承诺何时成真，所以并无法吸引退休人员。

3. 并不能因为该地区医生数量多，就直接得出医疗服务出色这个结论，人数和质量并不能成正比。而且如Clearview原本人口就很多，那医生数量高也是正常的，退休人员过去居住也并感受不到什么优势。
