Some people ought to defend the workaholic.
These people are unjustly accused, abused, and defamed--often termed sick or morbid or on the border of pathology. About 30% of American business and commerce is carried on the shoulders of workaholics. The ratio might exist in art and science too.
Workaholics are the achievers, the excellers. There is a national conspiracy against excellence and undue admiration of commonness and mediocrity. It is as if we are against those who make uncommon sacrifices because they enjoy doing something.
Some famous psychologists say that the workaholic has an inferiority complex which leads m overcompensation. This is certainly not the case. Inferiority, or low esteem, describes laziness more accurately than it describes dedication.
We do not seem to realize that very little excellence is achieved by living a well-balanced life. Edison, Ford, Einstein and Freud all had single-minded devotion to work whereby they sacrificed many things, including family and friendship. The accusation is made that workaholics bear guilt by not being good parents or spouses. But guilt can exist in the balanced life also. Think how many "normal" people and middle-aged who have never done anything well--they are going to settle for less than what they could have become.
The author’s main concern in this passage is to ______.
选项
A、point out the role the workaholic plays in the American economy
B、defend people who are addicted to work
C、encourage us not to worry about our imperfection
D、consider the difficulties that confront us at middle age
答案
B
解析
由文章第一句Some people ought to defend the workaholic可知,作者在文章中的本意是为那些献身工作的人辩护。
