问题     Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.
    If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of "boy, I can’t wait to get back to work." While all work and no play is not good, all play and no work is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.
    The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and have a spouse, a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choice.
    If you find yourself resenting your job because you can’t afford to quit, it may be time to prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a "cyanide capsule". He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent has such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body. If he’s captured and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change. Rather than cyanide, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up your current job, rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship. Being in this position can do wonders for your attitude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality, you are there only because you want to be.
    At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.
It is indicated in the passage that most people dislike their jobs because________.
选项 A、going to work is wasting their time
B、they can’t feel fulfilled in their jobs
C、they are confined to the jobs tightly
D、pay seldom corresponds with work
答案C
解析 本题的关键句most people dislike their jobs，可以定位于第三段。原文第三段第一句提到，人们不喜欢自己的工作的第二个，或许也是更为普遍的原因，就是他们有被束缚的感觉(they feel trapped)，其中more prevalent reason for people not to like their work与题干most people dislike their jobs为相同含义，由此可见，正确选项应与第二个原因同义，选项C “confined to the jobs tightly”与feel trapped为同义词，属于同义替换，故为正确选项。选项A来自原文第一段，是有些人不喜欢自身工作的第一个原因，但不符合题干most people的要求，属于答非所问。选项B “they can’t feel fulfilled in their jobs”和选项D “pay seldom corresponds with work”在原文中均未直接提及，属于无中生有。第三段：人们不喜欢自己的工作的第二个原因是工作带来的束缚感。
