问题 Credit card rewards programs have traditionally featured airline miles，gift certificates，and cash back for customers who spend enough on their cards．But recently，credit card companies have started offering a different kind of gift：they are handling out lower interest rates，refunding interest payments，and using other strategies to provide incentives for cardholders to pay down their debt and make on-time payments．The deals，however，don’t always work in consumers’favor．
    The new Citi Forward Card gives cardholders points and reduces their annual interest rate for making on-time payments and for staying under their credit limit．TD Bank’s Simply Flexible Card charges interest rates depending on how much of balance customers pay off．If they pay off 10％ or more of their balance，then they get the lowest available interest rate．
    Card companies say the idea behind the new rewards is to help customers get on top of their fiance。n“It’s all about promoting financial fitness and giving customers the choices they need to help them manage their debt”，says Michael Copley，senior vice president of TD Bank．He says the Simpie Flexible Card motivates cardholders to pay off more of their debt and attributes the company’s relatively low delinquency rate(违约率)to the product．
    Because of the continuing recession，companies have an incentive to keep their customers from
sliding further under water．“This is in response to recognition that they have to help their cardholders do a better job of managing their morley so customers keep those cards for a long time，”says Ron Shevlin，senior analyst at a research and advisory firm．The challenge for companies，he says，is to balance the profitability of consumers who maintain a balance against the increased risk that those cardholders pose because they are more likely to default on their debt．
    According to consumer advocates and credit card experts，consumers who always carry a balanee may be better off selecting a card with the lowest interest rate rather than participating inone of these rewards programs．“In general．I think these cards are great for people who don’t have great credit and regularly carry a balance on their cards”says Adam Jusko，founder of www．indeXCreditcards．com．“Customers who only occasionally carry a balance，on the other hand，would be better off finding a card with a more appealing rewards program”he adds．
    请回答下列问题。
The consumer advocates and credit card experts suggest that __________．
选项 A、it is better for those who pay off the balance to select a lower interest card
B、customers who pay off the balance should not participate in any rewards program
C、the lowest interest card is a better choice for those who always carry a balance
D、customers who carry a balance should always select a card with rewards programs
答案C
解析 推理题。从题干中的“consumer advocates and credit card experts”定位到原文第五段。该段中把持卡人分为两类：总是逾期还款的人和总能按时还款的人，并建议前者最好选择利率最低的信用卡，而后者选择带有优惠方案的信用卡。据此可知，C项“对于总是逾期还款的人来说，利率最低的信用卡是比较好的选择”符合原文意思。故本题选C。
