Five years ago, as part of a plan to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, Levaska's government introduced special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five. Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government's plan is obviously working.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts.
Workers in Levaska who already save money in long-term tax-free accounts that are offered through their workplace cannot take advantage of the special savings accounts introduced by the government.
The rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder.
Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts.
Many of the economists who now claim that the government's plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced.
为了增加居民存款，政府决定推出免税的special saving鼓励存款。Special saving program 收到了很多存款，说明政府计划有效（增加存款）。
要选出使计划不成功的一项->存款不增加
A. irrelevant
B. irrelevant
C. irrelevant
D. 公民转移存款，总存款并没有增加。
一定要清楚这个arguement/plan的目标和方法分别是什么，以及他们之间的关系，从而可以主动推理。
是旧题，但是结论不一样。一定要仔细看结论！
错选b 选项b框限了特殊范围workers
读题的时候要仔细，注意区分题目中的概念
方案推理：
premise：special account—no tax, unless withdraw under 65
Conclusion: The plan is working , and it increases the amount the citizens put into saving
CQ1-方案可行性问题
结论是：Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government's plan is obviously working.已经有上百万的人把钱存进了特殊账户，所以政府的计划确实鼓励到储蓄。
问题：哪个说明政府的计划并没有鼓励储蓄。
D，Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts.很多已有长期储蓄账户的人把账户里的钱转到了特殊账户。所以，特殊账户里有很多钱并不表示政府的政策鼓励了储蓄率的增加。
Goal:to increase the amount of money they put into savings增加储蓄账户的钱
choice d, 许多人把钱从长期储蓄账户里面转移到特别账户。correct，这部分人的总储蓄金额没有增加
这个plan的目的是提高国民储蓄，而不是提高国民在special accounting 里面的储蓄。
这个plan的目的是提高国民储蓄，而不是提高国民在special accounting 里面的储蓄。
plan 的题一定要看好plan 的目的
文段逻辑是：因为很多钱进了这个special accounts所以政府的计划（希望人们比原来投入更多钱进银行）起作用了
但D选项说明有人把原来就存在银行的钱拿出来放进special account里，也就是说总量不变只是转移了，所以weaken
D选项说的是那些已经有长期储蓄账户的居民会从这些原先的账户里面把钱转去这种新的账户
这道题不是方案推理，而是因果推理。前提：因- special accounts 中的钱增加了很多，结论：果-方案在起作用。削弱：因果无关，特殊账户中钱增加是因为其他账户中的存款转移到了这里。也就是说，居民存款并没有增加。方案的目的无法达到！
看清楚目标啊！！此题是方案推理 A似乎反驳原文 B范围改变 原文方案是市民，这里变成了工人 D 方案可行性
思路：目的：提高L市的savings----提出special account方案----special accounts上累积了很多钱----说明政府这个方案是成功的-----削弱：如果很多人只是把钱从一个savings转到special savings的话，那对于增加savings总量没有帮助 另外A很迷惑人，按照正常储蓄账户你但凡动了点钱interest就没了。。。不过这个作为反驳原文不太成立，感觉跟原文最后说累积了很多钱在special account上矛盾，与原文矛盾
目的是 to increase the amount of money they put into savings
答案：Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts. 即：很多人只是转账过去special account， 所以 amount of money 还是没有增加。
方案目的:增加长期存款。A选项错误：大量的人取出来存款账户里的一些钱 -- 这其实是一个无关选项，因为取出来一些没关系啊，只要不取出来全部，只要还有钱在account里面，这个方案就还有效！（比较的，是有&无的情况）
目标是增加总存款
D. transferring 表明总量并没有增加
B.是说能否获益，无关选项
前提:Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, 结论so the government's plan （to increase the longterm savings）is obviously working.
B项 许多人已经有长期存款账户，不能利用政府的special account。并不符合前提中提到这部分人，所以没能阻止前提推出结论
D项 许多人从自己已有长期存款账户中取钱转移到special account，最终并不能够使得长期存款增加。有果无因
无因有果
因：政府的tax刺激计划
套路..
B: 不管受没受惠，只要存款变多，方案就可行。
