问题 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.

选项
答案[B]
解析 主旨题。文章第五段前两句话就点明作者的主题“In fact, I am beyond dreaming．I am taking action to pursue my ideal life．(事实上，我不仅有梦 想，我也采取行动追求我理想的生活。)”，随后作者对自己在现在的工作 中进行学习和理想中的工作进行了描述。由此分析可知，应选择[B]选项。
