Somebody ought to defend the workaholic. These people are unjustly accused, abused, and defamed,often termed sick or morbid (病态的).
One third of American business and commerce is carried on the shoulders of workaholics. The ratio might exist in art and science too. Workaholics are achievers. There is a national conspiracy against excellence undue admiration of commonness and mediocrity (平庸). It is as though we are against those who make uncommon sacrifices because they enjoy doing something.
Some popular psychologists say that the workaholic has an inferiority complex which leads to 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, 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. Consider how many "normal" people find, at middle age, that they have never done anything well they are going to settle for less than what they could have become.
From this passage we know that workaholic is a term referring to those______. ( )
选项
A、who enjoy work more than anything else
B、who make greater contributions than others
C、who make uncommon sacrifices in their personal life
D、all of the above
答案
D
解析
细节题。“从文中可以知道,工作狂一词指的是什么人?”D选项是正确答案。文中第二段提到Workaholics are achievers…they enjoy doing something;A选项“比起其他事情来,喜欢工作”;B选项“做的贡献比别人大”;C选项“在个人生活中作出了不同寻常的牺牲”,三个选项都不全面。
