[F] Embrace competition in life
[G] Money is everything
Here is my contradiction to the worst advice: my counter-advice.
【R1】________
Actually, don’t. A huge part of life comes down to acting. You change your accent as you move up socially. You pretend confidence when you feel none. Once you make it, you do the inverse: pretend shyness and self-doubt to avoid upsetting people. None of this makes you "inauthentic". Or if it does, then authenticity does not warrant the overstatement that has grown up around it. Lying is corrosive. But a certain amount of hiding is hard to avoid.
【R2】________
This is a good way of preventing insecurity. It is also a good way of underachieving. Competition is a spur to performance. Even people who are not work-focused engage in competitive parenting or competitive socializing. And if you try to avoid invidious comparisons, your brain will resist. The research on "inequality aversion" suggests that people think in relative rather than absolute terms. We would rather have less overall if it means that our neighbors do not have comparatively more. "It is not enough to succeed," said Gore Vidal, my life coach. "Others must fail."
【R3】________
This is wrong on two counts. First, many passions are hard to monetize. This was true of music and novel-writing even before the straitened economics of those industries set in. Creative pursuits favor downwardly mobile rich kids, hence the oversupply of contemporary fiction by authors who "live in New Haven and Jakarta", starring characters who fly a lot and feel a bit sad.
Second, if you do make a career out of your passion, some of the passion goes. Bar songwriting or filling that troublesome regista slot for Arsenal, there is nothing I would rather do than write columns for the FT. But because I do, it is a job. I don’t get to stroll over to the laptop when the ghost of inspiration possesses me. I have deadlines. Any activity, even Alba truffle-eating, becomes less fun once your ego and livelihood depend on it.
【R4】________
Up to a point. But there is no linear relationship between effort and success. And while hard work never killed anyone, it has drained them of their happiness. I keep wanting to press this case through a set of self-help books (Lean Out, The Seven Habits of Highly Rested People, The Fierce Urgency of Tomorrow) but it seems like a lot of work.
【R5】________
An old one, this, and it shows. Many asset classes have risen faster than incomes throughout your lives. It will take some heroic saving to buy the house you want. The modern world often disincentivizes you—all but mocks you—for thrift.
The memories you acquire in your twenties will sustain you later. Make sure those memories are of something better than contribution to your retirement savings. Reduce costs in your thirties, if you must, or just marry into money. Economists will be angry. But they undervalue what they cannot quantify, and they cannot quantify raw human pleasure in the moment. The best things in life are not always free, even if this advice is.
【R3】
选项
答案
E
解析
这两段话结构明确,前一段首句This is wrong on two counts(这一观点错在以下两点)为总起句。下文的Fir8t(第一)和Second(第二)分别对首句进行进一步的解释说明:First, many passions are hard to monetize (首先,许多激情很难赚钱),Second, if you do make a career out of your passion,some of the passion goes(其次,如果你的职业是基于激情,那么部分激情就会消失)。由此可见,本段话围绕passion(激情)展开,E项Follow your passion(跟着你的激情走)应为该段标题,故为正确答案。
