Sherwood:
We are constantly bombarded with the message that we want more, need more, indeed deserve more from life.With advertisers pushing everything from whiter teethto better homes, and motivational speakers urging US to realize our full potential, we’ re essentially being told we should strive for a better life and do whatever it takes to get there.
Sharon:
She credits her happiness and peace to a good attitude-and her faith."Because I believe God directs my life, I’ m positive.I feel good about my future; I feel good about my past, "says the active church volunteer."We’ re very family oriented.And I have a very close circle of friends.What else can one ask for? "
Jedwab:
It makes sense that older people tend to be satisfied.As they near retirement, many look forward to stepping off the career ladder.They’ re more likely to be thinking about ensuring they have enough financial security to enjoy life than about making a profound change to that life.
Ingram:
For the contented, doing the things I want to do is i’ mportant, as is a satisfying work life.I wondered how difficult it is for the others to get to the point where they could say they are contented.I worked hard and once persevered through bad jobs until I landed a good one in the field now.But there is a fly in the ointment:I still think my life could be even better.Though income doesn’ t necessarily affect levels of happiness, whether it is making more of it is a key sector.
Grewar:
In fact, I am beyond dreaming.I am taking action to pursue my ideal life.After completing a business course at Harvard Business School, which, I think,helped me focus on what I truly wanted.I’ m now looking at other avenues of advancement, including completing a Master’ s of Business Administration to further enhance my skills for my current job and preparing to reach high when the opportunity presents itself.I’ m even thinking about a dream job.I have in mind that one of the things I’ vebeen very interested in is doing marketing for a large international law firm.
Note:there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A]We’ re quite contented and thank a lot.
[B]I’ m not only a dreamer but also a doer to pursue my iob in future.
[C]We know things could be a lot worse.
[D]What’ s the secret to being content?
[E]Job satisfaction is no more about climbing the career ladder to the older.
[F]We are pushed byMedia to be busywith a better life.
[G]We have a lot more control over our life plan than was the case four decades ago.
Ingram
选项
答案
[D]
解析
主旨题。文章第四段的第一句话就点明作者的观点,“说到知足,重 要的是做我想做的事,正如有份满意的工作”,然后作者以自己的工作为 例来进一步说明知足的真谛。[D]选项的表述与此一致,因此应选择[D]选项。
