The doctor tell you that this man upon whom you depend for directing sales, checking your books or for performing some other important roles, will be laid up for months, You’d have to replace him, wouldn’t you? And probably at a pay about equal to his ?

3.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章第二段Then you’d be faced with double paying for one job because stopping the pay of an injured man說明這里的You指公司的老板。故本文是寫給老板的。
4.D 推理題。原來的負責人出了事故住院不能上班，你要找另外一個人做他的工作，那么你要付兩份的工資來做一份的事情。故D正確。
5.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二行l(wèi)et us tell you how little it costs to apply this much needed protection to your business.說明這種保險的費用并不高。故C正確。
考點：考查廣告類短文閱讀
點評：文章介紹了一種新型的保險—為公司員工的意外事故保險。要求考生在第二段就要理解文章的實質(zhì)，有一定的思維轉(zhuǎn)換能力。對細節(jié)的考查仍然是重點，如75題。
