选项A“因为雇主逃税，”文中没有提到这一点。由第五段第二句“Many US workers have complained that if they lose their job，their health insurance will go with it and tying insurance to em-ployment will undoubtedly worsen the insecurity．(美国许多员工都在抱怨：失去了工作，也就失去了保险。将保险与就业捆绑在一起，毫无疑问会加剧这种不安全感。)”可知，选项B正确。选项C“因为雇主提供医疗保险违法，”文中没有提到这一点。选项D“因为政府需要提高财政收入”，让雇主脱离医疗保险并不能增加财政收入。所以，本题选择B。

3 根据下面资料，回答题
According to Peter Salovey, Yale psychologist and author of the term EQ, IQ gets you hired and EQ gets you promoted.
Salovey tells of a simple test. Some four-year-old kids were invited into a room and were giv-en the following instruction: "You can have this marshmallow right now; or if you wait, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. " Then, the researcher left. Some kids grabbed for the treat as soon as the researcher was out the door, while others waited for the researcher to return. By the time the kids reached high school, significant differences appeared between the two groups.
The kids who held out for two marshmallows were better adjusted, more popular, more adventur-ous, more confident, and more dependable than kids in the quick gratification group. The latter group was also more likely to be lonely, more easily frustrated, more stubborn, more likely to buckle under stress, and more likely to shy away from challenges. When both groups took scholas-tic aptitude tests, the "hold out group" walloped the "quick gratification group" by 210 points (the test scores range from a minimum of 200 points to a maximum of 800, with an average for all students of 500 points).
Researchers have been discussing whether it´ s possible to raise a person´ s IQ. Geneticists say No,while social scientists say Yes. But while brain power researchers continue the debate, social science re-searchers have concluded that it´ s possible to improve a person´ s EQ, and in particular, a person´s "people skills, " such as empathy, graciousness, and the ability to "read" a social situation.
According to the social scientists, there is little doubt that people without sufficient EQ will have a hard time surviving in life. EQ is perhaps best observed in people described as either pessi-mists or optimists. Optimistic people have high EQ and treat obstacles as minor, while the pessi-mistic people have low EQ and personalizes all setbacks. In social research circles, EQ denotes one´ s ability to survive, and it´ s here that there may be an overlap between EQ, IQ, genetics and environment. As to that, I am reminded of the words of Darwin, "The biggest, the smartest, and the strongest are not the survivors. Rather, the survivors are the most adaptable. " Those of us who survive and thrive in this complex world are not only the most adaptable, but also the most op-timistic and the most likely to have a high EQ.

A．a person with high EQ is better adjusted

B．a person with high EQ is more stubborn

C．a person with high EQ is more confident

D．A person with high EQ is more popular
