问题     Some people ought to defend the workaholic.
    These people are unjustly accused, abused, and defamed -- often termed sick or morbid or on the border of pathology. About 30% of American business and commerce is carried on the shoulders of workaholics. The ratio might exist in art and science too.
    Workaholics are the achievers, the excelers. There is a national conspiracy against excellence and undue admiration of commonness and mediocrity. It is as if we are against those who make uncommon sacrifices because they enjoy doing something.
    Some famous psychologists say that the workaholic has an inferiority complex which leads to overcompensation. This is certainly not the case. Inferiority, or low esteem, describes laziness more accurately than it describes dedication.
    We do not seem to realize that very little excellence is achieved by living a well-balanced life. Edison, Ford, Einstein, Freud all had single-minded devotion to work whereby they sacrificed many things, including family and friendship. The accusation is made that workaholics bear guilt by not being good parents or spouses. But guilt can exist in the balanced life also. Think how many "normal" people and middle-ages who have never done anything well -- they are going to settle for less than what they could have become.
选项 A、who enjoy work more than anything else.
B、who make greater contributions than others.
C、who make uncommon sacrifice in their personal life.
D、All of the above.
答案A
解析 工作狂指那种热爱工作胜过其他一切的人。选项B和选项C也是工作狂的一种表现，但不是所有的工作狂都贡献比别人大，在日常生活中做出的牺牲比别人多，这些只是那些名人的表现。
