小c考托福

Personnel officer: The exorbitant cost of our health-insurance benefits reflects the high dollar amount
of medical expenses incurred by our employees. Employees who are out of shape, as a group, have
higher doctor bills and longer hospital stays than do their colleagues who are fit. Therefore, since we
must reduce our health-insurance costs, we should offer a rigorous fitness program of jogging and
weight lifting to all employees, and require employees who are out of shape to participate.

The conclusion reached by the personnel officer depends on which of the following assumptions?

A. A person who is fit would receive a routine physical checkup by a doctor less regularly than would a
person who is out of shape.
B. The medical expenses incurred by employees who are required to participate in the fitness program
would be less than those incurred by employees who are not required to participate.
C. The strenuous activities required of out-of-shape employees by the program would not by themselves
generate medical expenses greater than any reduction achieved by the program.
D. The fitness program would serve more employees who are out of shape than it would employees who
are fit.
E. The employees who participate in the fitness program would be away from work because of illness
less than would the employees who do not participate.


答案选C  我觉得B 也可以啊！！？

B取非后，说被要求参加的人（out of shape的人）的身上发生医药费更高。
这不是正中下怀吗，正因为这群胖子平时花销医药费太多，正好需要让他们多锻炼一下！从而减少医药费开销。
