Many point to the higher health care costs 【C10】______ with smoking or obesity. Some even describe the charges and 【C11】______ as a " more stick, less carrot"【C12】______ to get workers to take more【C13】______ for their well-being.

选项
A、interests
B、profits
C、fees
D、discounts
答案
D
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:一些公司甚至把他们的收费和折扣描述为使工人为福利承担更多责任的“更多的付出,更少的收获”的一种方式。根据前面出现过的like discounts on their insurance(保险折扣)可知,此处与charges意思并列,discounts“折扣”符合题意,故答案为[D]。[A]interests“利益”;[B]profits“利润,好处”;[C]fees“费用,收费”。
