Passage 1
Savings provide one way to take care of financial losses. But savings are not the answer to large losses. The best way to guard against large financial losses is through insurance.
Over 4,800 companies in the United States are in the business of providing insurance protection. These businesses are called insurance companies.
Because most insurance companies operate on a big scale, they provide a way for large numbers of people to share their losses. Insurance can provide protection against almost any kind of loss. Singers may insure their voices. Photographers may insure their negatives. The owner of a home freezer may insure against food loss in case of a power failure. A business owner can insure his or her place of business. A business owner can also insure against a loss of profits during a shutdown following a fire or damaging accident.
Like all private firms, insurance companies must charge enough for protection to pay their operating costs and make a profit. The main factor affecting the price of insurance, however, is the amount of risk involved. The more risk an insurance company assumes for a policyholder, the higher the premium.
An insurance company must collect enough money from all its policyholders to pay the claims of those who have losses. A claim is a request for payment of a loss. It is impossible to tell, of course, which policyholders will have losses. But it is possible to estimate with some accuracy how many will have losses. A company does this by studying its past losses.
Like banks, insurance companies are the guardians of other people’s money. Just as banks are closely regulated to protect their depositors, insurance companies are regulated to protect their policyholders.

Passage 2
财务总监John Green 于3月15日要求我对Orion United Industries公司给我们职工购买的保险是否经济实惠这一问题做出决定。经调查我发现我们目前的保险费偏高，而且我们可以花更少的钱获得相同的或者更好的保险。
在3月16日到4月15日期间，我在办公室或是通过电话与15家较大的保险公司代表进行了交谈。其中的三家保险公司声称他们能提供我们职工目前所享有的保险类别，并且每年的保险费还可以减少12000至19000美元。另外一家公司即贝尔保险公司表明他们也可以提供同样的险别，并且附加牙齿保险，而不增加保险费。
基于以上调查结果，我建议先向多家保险公司了解他们的要价，对于必要的保险我们一经选定了最实惠的方案以后，就不再与目前的国际工业保险公司签约。
