Laziness is a sin. Everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life.
But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than the simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be deadened by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work: some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievement, that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work, strictly speaking j they are nearly procrastinating—rescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators, some people look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, researching. We should all remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newton wasn’t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he
devised
the theory of gravity. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor who’s simply working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic.
So be careful when you’re tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting or planning his or her next book.
The passage states that________.
选项
A、laziness is a disease
B、laziness is more beneficial than harmful
C、a good definition of laziness is emotional illness
D、some people appear lazy because they are insecure
答案
D
解析
第二段第二、三句“Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or fear of having their ideas stolen..”。本题为细节题。开头首句提到懒惰是一种罪过,并没说它是一种病,A项不正确。第二段首句提到懒惰的危害不止如此,以及第三段提及懒惰实际上也是有益的,作者并没有将益处与害处进行比较,B项不正确,而C项是懒惰的定义,文中未提及。由定位句,有些表面上看上去懒惰的人问题更严重,他们可能对同事不信任,也就是说他们缺乏安全感。故选D。
