问题     There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
    Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
    Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion (排除) of others can hold back your true spirit.
    Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (视角) into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
    Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas.
    Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. "I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit. "
    These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
What could be the best title for the passage?
选项 A、Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist
B、Specialist or Generalist; Hard to Decide
C、Turn a Generalist into a Specialist
D、Ways to Become a Generalist
答案A
解析 主旨大意题。根据第一段中第一句“There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. ”作者提出即使你是一个专家，也应该当一个通才；第二段第三句“The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. ”说明成为专家的不足之处是我们常常对越来越少的知识领域了解得越来越深；以及第四段第一句“Generalists, …know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. ”说明当通才往往会对广泛的学科了解得很多，并且从整体上来看它们是有所联系的。作者的观点是应该当一个通才。因此文章的标题应为“Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist”做一个通才，而不是专家。故选A。
