问题 According to the passage, all of the following were benefits of privatizing state-owned industries in the United Kingdom EXCEPT______
Which of the following statements is most consistent with the principle described in lines 30-32?

选项 A、A democratic government that decides it is inappropriate to own a particular industry has in no way abdicated its responsibilities as guardian of the public interest.
B、The ideal way for a government to protect employee interests is to force companies to maintain their share of a competitive market without government subsidies.
C、The failure to harness the power of self-interest is an important reason that state-owned industries perform poorly.
D、Governments that want to implement privatization programs must try to eliminate all resistance to the free-market system.
E、The individual shareholder will reap only a minute share of the gains from whatever sacrifices he or she makes to achieve these gains.

答案C

解析 The best answer is C. Lines 30-32 assert that people who have a persona stake in an endeavor will “work to make it prosper.” In other words, self-interest is an incentive to make people perform better. Choice C makes the same assumption and uses that the converse is also true: that when workers lack a personal stake in the fate of their industry, their performance will be poor. Thus, state-owned industries, in which employees receive no additional benefit from increased profits, perform poorly because the industries have failed to use employees’ self-interest as motivation for those employees to perform well.
