1.
Reasoning skills deal with the process of getting
from a problem to a
solution or a
conclusion. By improving your reasoning skills,
you can improve
your success in doing
things. Specifically, strong reasoning skills can
help
you to:
? improve th
e quality and
validity of your own arguments;
? improve your ability
to assess the quality and validity of others'
arguments;
? make more logical
decisions;
?
solve problems more efficiently and
effectively.
To give a
specific example, every day you have to make
various decisions,
and yet even some
simple decisions like deciding what to wear when
you're
getting dressed in the morning
require some reasoning skills. When you decide
what to wear, you take many factors
into consideration
–
the
weather forecast,
the current
temperature, your plans for the day (where you are
going, what you
will do, and whom you
will meet), your comfort level, and so on. In real
life,
you need to face decisions that
are much more difficult than choosing what to
wear. So, it is really important to
have strong reasoning skills.
2. The factors below are usually
important for a logical conclusion:
? critical thinking
skills;
?
facts;
?
evidence;
?
sound reasoning process, etc.
Reading comprehension-1
1. The deal between them is that
the narrator gives Rob his leather jacket,
and Rob, in exchange, gives the
narrator his girlfriend. They make the deal
because they want to get something from
each other: Rob is crazy about fashion,
and he wants to own the narrator's
fashionable leather jacket; the narrator
longs to have a beautiful girlfriend,
and Rob's girlfriend is beautiful.
2. He thinks a beautiful and well-
spoken girlfriend will assist him to
land a job and achieve success in an
elite law company.
3.
The narrator feels this way because he can't stop
thinking that his
purpose of dating
Polly is not for romance but for improving her
intelligence,
and he can't let Polly
know his plan.
4. The
narrator decides to teach Polly logic because he
believes logic is
essential to clear
thinking. By teaching Polly logic, he can make her
intelligent.
5. When the narrator teaches her logic, Polly
responds either shortly with
without saying anything.
These responses give us an impression that Polly
is a
nice but rather simple-minded
girl.
6. Yes. He is only
too successful in teaching Polly logic because in
the
end when he asks Polly to be his
girlfriend, Polly refuses his request by
applying all the logical fallacies he
has taught her.
7.
Because he wants to make one more attempt to win
Polly as his
girlfriend by asking her
to forget what he has taught her.
8. The end of the story is ironic
because Polly turns out to be smarter
than the narrator. First, she is able
to refute all his arguments as logical
fallacies. Then, she discloses that she
and Rob have played a trick on him.
The
narrator has been too smart for his own
good.

1. In my
opinion, all the three characters are complex. The
following are
my descriptions about
them.
The
narrator:
?
Smart: He is an excellent law student and knows a
lot about logic.
? Sophisticated: He believes a
beautiful and intelligen
t girlfriend
will
benefit him in his future
career.
?
Arrogant and self
-conceited: He thinks
highly of himself but badly of
his
roommate.
?
Over
-confident: He thinks the girl will
surely choose him rather than
Rob.
? Stupid and simple
-minded:
He knows nothing about what can happen in real
life.
Rob:
?
Fashionable and cool: He loves fashion and cares a
lot about his
appearance.
? Dishonest: He plays a
trick on the narrator to get his leather
jacket.
?
Clever: He is able to get wha
t he wants
without losing anything.
Polly:
?
Beautiful and nice: She is pretty and easy to be
with.
?
Shallow: She chooses Rob simply because he is
fashionable.
? Smart: She learns quickly and is full
of wit when refusing to be the
narrator's girlfriend.
2. The story itself includes the
fallacy
assumes that all girls would be
happy to date a boy whose future is somewhat
guaranteed. Therefore, Polly, a
beautiful and wealthy young girl, would
certainly fall in love with him
–
assured
future
–
narrator's surprise and disappointment,
Polly chooses Rob in the end because
Rob is fashionable and cool.
3. ? Love is
blind. It is ridiculous to use logic to deal with
love.
? Smart
people sometimes can make wrong
judgments.
?
Smart people are sometimes too arrogant and
confident.
