Before the summer of 2000, the 54-year-old John Haughom could accomplish just about anything at work. "I could move mountains if I put my mind to it. " he says of those days. But that summer Haughom found he couldn’t move them any more. On the phone with his wife one morning, Haughom broke down. A couple of days later Haughom checked himself in for a three-week stay at the Professional Renewal Center, an in-patient clinic 30 miles outside Kansas City that helps him deal with stress.
Haughom is far from alone. A host of new studies and plenty of anecdotal evidence show that stress in the workplace is skyrocketing. Whatever the cause, stress levels are at record highs. The statistics are startling. According to a new study by the federal government’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, more than half the working people in the U. S. view job stress as a major problem in their lives. This year the European Community officially dubbed stress the second-biggest occupational-health problem facing the continent.
Ten years ago experts warned that stress was out of control, in part because of a shaky economy. What’s notable about today’s wave of stressed-out workers is that it rises all the way to the top. Lack of control is generally considered one of the biggest job stressors, so it used to be thought that middle managers carried the brunt; sandwiched between the top and the bottom, they end up with little authority. Powerful chief executive officers (CEOs) were seen as the least threatened by stress. But in today’s tough economy, top executives don’t have as much control as they used to. "Stress is just part of the job, fortunately or unfortunately, stress is part of our character building," Lebenthal says. "But I think I don’t need any more character building. What I need is a vacation. "
But if you think that going on vacation is hard—and studies show that 85% of corporate executives don’t use all the time off they’re entitled to. Being able to handle stress is perhaps the most basic of job expectations. So among the corporate elite, succumbing to it is considered a shameful weakness. Stress has become the last affliction that people won’t dare admit to. Most senior executives who are undergoing treatment for stress—and even many who aren’t—refused to talk on the record about the topic. "Nothing good can come out of having your name in a story like this," one CEO said through his therapist.
The CEO’s statement in the last sentence of this passage implies that______.
选项
A、stress has become the last taboo that people won’t dare admit to
B、succumbing to stress is considered a shameful weakness
C、corporate elite have no enough courage to admit to stress
D、being able to handle stress is the most basic of job expectations
答案
A
解析
推断题。文章最后一段指出,在公司的掌权人物当中,屈从于压力被认为是丢脸的缺点。大多数正治疗压力疾病的高级经理们不愿意让人把他们对这一话题的谈话记录在案。一位总经理通过他的治疗专家说:“让你的名字像这样记录在案没有任何好处。”这位总经理的话暗示了压力成了人们最后一个不敢承认的禁忌。所以,正确答案是A。B是文章指明的,而不是暗示。C“公司经理没有勇气承认他们的压力”并不是暗示,也说明不了什么问题。从这位总经理的话中,我们无法推断出D。
