参考答案
参考解析:
本题考查作者观点。第五段中作者提到,年青的雇员没有选择,只能等到50或55岁才能卖掉公司的股票以作为配送缴款(matching contribution)。第六段则提到,而老雇员在能够退出(getting out)的时候却没有。60岁和以上的人中1/3的人选择公司股票作为他们3/4的投资计划。该段末句作者连续用几个问号对这种做法进行了质疑:难道他们疏忽了?过度忠诚?疾病?由此我们可推出作者的观点是反对投资自己公司的做法。因此[B]项正确,排除[A]项。第七段首句作者则提到,投资者不应该完全信任任何一家公司的股票。因此[D]项是作者反对的。[C]项文中未提。词汇补充:to a fault“过度地”,如generous to a fault(过度慷慨)。
