问题     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.
Why do laws prohibit people from having too much company stock in their retirement accounts?

选项 A、Because the company will be in danger if its employees have too much company stock.
B、Because the employees will be in possible financial crisis if the company is not well run.
C、Because there will be an accident in the stock exchange.
D、Because there will be not enough stock for all the employees.

答案B

解析 事实细节题。倒数第二段最后一句指出,法律阻止人们在自己的退休账户中投入过多的公司股票,这样能保护他们不会遭受财务危机,故答案为[B]项。
