问题     It is physically impossible for a well-educated, intellectual, or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money—ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.
    A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay—very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.
    So of doctors. They like fees no doubt—ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees.
    They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second.
The passage implies that healthy-minded people best enjoy______.

选项 A、the happiness of accomplishing their work
B、the satisfaction of making money
C、the pleasure of having their dinner
D、the fun of fighting battles

答案A

解析 文章第一段讲到,所有心智健康的人都喜欢金钱并享受拥有钱的满足感,但他们的人生目标并不是金钱。他们的目标是什么呢?第二段和第三段的例子给出了答案,那就是工作。因此,可以推断本题的正确答案是A项:完成工作所带来的幸福。
