Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? Here are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.
If this is the ease with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment7 More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of "Boy, I can’t wait to get back to work." If you didn’t feel such Vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, enroll in classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self esteem would be at an all time low. While all work and no play are not good, all play and no work is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.
The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five year and have a spouse, a mortgage and a child, you often, feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choice.
If you find yourself resenting your job because you can’t afford to quit, it may be time to prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a "cyanide capsule." He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent has such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body. If he’s captured and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having air option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change.
Rather than cyanide, your option takes the form of an up to date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low key networking can take place. You’re not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship. Being in this position can do wonders for your attitude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality; you are there only because you want to be.
At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.
The first main reason for many people’s unhappiness in their jobs rises from their conviction that ______.
选项
A、working at a job is just wasting their time
B、working is not the enjoyment they are after
C、working is like killing their true talents
D、working is the least enjoyable way of spending time
答案
D
解析
文意理解题。文中第1段第2句话是:some people are convinced that earning a leaving is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talent.意思是:人们对工作厌恶至极,认为通过工作去获取放松简直是浪费时间浪费生命。所以,D“工作是最缺乏乐趣的度过生命的方式”正确。A:浪费时间;B:不愉快;C:抹杀他们的才能;A,B,C三项都是对该句所表达意思的片面陈述,无论浪费时间,不愉快还是别的原因也好,都是人们抱怨的细节事实。在解决此类问题时,一定要注意分清楚细节事实和总体陈述。
