Insurance(保险)is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at any early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons, each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as insured and those who administer(管理)the pool of contributions as insurers.
The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on stout paper of the best quality. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the premium(保险费), which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more to make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.
Insurance premiums do not become too high because______.
选项
A、not many people suffer loss
B、they are fixed according to how likely the risk of loss is to happen
C、not many people insure themselves
D、insurance companies compete with each other
答案
D
解析
题干意为“保险费不会很高是因为…”。由第二段倒数第二句“If companies fix their premiums too high,there will…”可知,如果有公司把保险费定得过高,就会有公司把保险费降低,保险费高的公司就会没有生意而赔钱,保险公司相互之间是竞争的,故选D。
