Work hard and get ahead. That’s what every American learns growing up, but for millions of them, it’s getting harder to tell the difference between working hard and being a workaholic. "The line happens when you come home one day and your husband isn’t there, and you didn’t realize he left you a week ago," Stephen Viscusi said. Viscusi is CEO of the Viscusi Group.
The actual reasons for becoming a workaholic are quite varied. It might involve a need in someone to always stay a step ahead of their co-workers or anyone else they perceive as a competitive threat. It could be a desire to never leave the office at night without tying up any loose ends such as returning an email, writing a memo or getting a package out. It might be a single-minded commitment to being successful, gaining promotion after promotion, no matter what the cost.
Workaholics Anonymous—a "fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problems and help others to recover from work holism"—lists 20 questions to ask yourself if you think you may be a workaholic, including whether you get more excited about work than anything else and work more than 40 hours per week.viscusi said a good indication that you’re a workaholic is if you are constantly electronically connected to the office, whether by cell phone, BlackBerry or laptop.
Workaholism’s effects on the family can be devastating, Viscusi said, with the consequences eventually manifesting themselves, as they would with any other addiction, in broken marriages and broken homes. Brian Robinson, a professor at the University of North Carolina, told "20/20" in 1999 that children of workaholics developed the same disorders as children of alcoholics, such as depression and anxiety, that crippled them later in life.
Viscusi offered the following tips for workaholics trying to make a change. Don’t take on every project. Don’t say yes to everyone. Learn the art of saying "I can’t handle any more." Also, doesn’t it seem like exercise is good for everything? It is recommended as part of every self-help regime— well, this is no difference. Exercise and yoga help you, and it’s the hardest place to get any workdone. No cell phones allowed! Similar to a hobby, doing something without asking for any payment in return lets you focus on something other than work or your job. It can give you a different perspective and a different way to meet new people.
What signals you becoming a workaholic according to Viscusi?
选项
A、Endless desires to make calls.
B、Long hours of computer use.
C、Constant needs to connect to the office.
D、Heavy dependency on electronic devices.
答案
C
解析
细节题;题目中的Viscusi可以帮助我们从原文定位信息,我们在原文的第四段找到了相关的信息,根据原文的说法,要判断一个人是不是成为“工作狂”,可以有一些标志性的信息。这里的“a good indication that you’re a workah01ic”和题目中的“what signals you becoming a workaholic”是同样的意思。A选项将原文中的细节信息扩大,原文是用“by cell phone"来作为对于那些没有办法把工作放下的表达,而不是说一直打电话就意味着是工作狂,需要考生去区分其中的差别。B选项和D选项的错误类别都和A选项类似,而C选项所表达的才是这个段落的信息所围绕的中心,也是我们需要的正确的答案。
