(单选题)

It can be inferred from the passage that higher interest rates ( ).

A.encourage people or companies to spend money

B.encourage people or companies to save money

C.lead to inflation getting out of control

D.prevent people from making more money

参考答案：B

参考解析：

题干问的是：根据文段，调高利率会带来什么。根据第二段“Lower interest rates encourage people or companies to spend money, rather than save”可知A错；利率降低了人们会增加消费，而利率调高了，人们会选择储蓄，故B是对的。C不是调高利率带来的结果，定位到原文第一段可知，是“just enough” growth in an economy 带来的。所以排除C；D属于文中未提。故本题正确答案选B。
