Many laws seem to be created for the purpose of protecting people from themselves. Some examples are age limits for off-road vehicles, seat-belt requirements for cars, and wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle.
Opponents of these laws feel that their rights are being restricted. If it doesn’t hurt anyone else, why should there be a law? But if they become injured, it can raise insurance rates for everyone.
Similarly, consider people putting aside money for their retirement. Suppose they work for a fast-growing company, the hot new stock pick. Many employees invest heavily in the stock. The stock price plummets, their savings will disappear. Laws preventing people from having too much company stock in their retirement accounts could protect them from financial disaster.
It isn’t easy to find the proper balance between individual rights and common good. Some people will think that the new law goes too far, while others will complain that it doesn’t go far enough. Although we may not agree with every law, some minor inconveniences are part of living in our society.
The underlined word in the following sentence means______.
The stock price plummets, their savings will disappear.
选项
A、increases to a higher level
B、falls down to the ground
C、drops dramatically
D、moves up and down
答案
C
解析
词义理解题。倒数第二段第四句指出,股票价格……雇员的存款就会消失。根据disappear可推断,plummets在这里是指股价下跌,故答案为[C]项。
