问题     The Need for Holidays
    You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they "need" a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays, and experience a changed environment (环境). For this reason, holidays away from home are now seen by most people today as office work and mental, rather than physical, tasks. These people may seek much more energy taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach.
    Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. Even in a recession(经济萧条时期), for many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being laid off on a holiday, perhaps to give themselves "lift" before facing a gloomy(黯淡) future.
    Perhaps we don’t like to admit it, but most of us also enjoy showing off about the places we have been to, and the lovely tanned skins we have got.
    The idea of tanning, however, is becoming less attractive than it was. It has become quite common that many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the tans; and although we join a tan together with health(and it is true that a certain amount of sunshine gives us a feeling of being healthy), it has been fully shown that sunshine, especially when received over a short, focused period of time, results in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more fines on you face later in life.  
From this passage we learn that some people can not live without ________.

选项 A、tan
B、a job
C、a pay
D、a holiday

答案D

解析 从文章中可以知道,对于某些人来说,没有假期就不能生活,即使经济萧条时期。
