To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: "I will take an interest in this or that." Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do.
Broadly speaking, human being may be divided into three classes: those who are tired to death, those who are worded to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.
It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms.
But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are viewed as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vacation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of forgetting about their work from time to time.
选项
A、It is never too late to learn a few new tricks.
B、It can help us acquire a lot of work-related knowledge.
C、It can offer help and relief for us.
D、It is needed for us to be really happy.
答案
D
解析
考查细节。原文的第一段中出现了hobbies,对比阅读第一段,我们可以发现,选项的设置都围绕这一部分进行设计;A认为“无论何时开始寻找生活的小爱好都为时不晚”,可原文中“It is no use starting late in life”,即“等到年纪大了才去寻找爱好已经来不及了”这样的描述是相互冲突的,不能选;B选项中的work-related和原文的“unconnected with his daily work”是相互冲突的。
