身體健康的人不愿意去想死亡的事，死亡是我們希望避免的話題。但是死亡是普遍的人生經歷，是人人都要面臨的少數必然之一。理智的人對必然的死亡預作計劃，從容對待；只有愚蠢的人不能正視現(xiàn)實，希望用某種方法逃脫死亡。人壽保險對必然的死亡提供理智的安排。只要對自己的死亡能夠直面對待的人才能充分理解人壽保險的必要性。人壽保險公司充分認識到了人民對死亡的負面印象，為此，他們對保險代理商進行培訓時，要求他們在推銷中避免使用直率的語言，而努力以恰當的方式讓客戶們意識到：人終究會死，人人都會面臨死亡，必須要客觀地接受自己的比如死亡才能在經濟上為此做好充分的準備。

5.B

6.D

12.C解析：本題考查倒裝虛擬語氣用法。本句是表示與將來事實相反，所以從句用wereto形式。句意為：如果他今天出發(fā)的話，他就會在星期五以前到達那里。

13.B解析：本題考查動詞固定搭配的用法。deprive后常接介詞of，表示剝奪什么。
