问题     Hazel asks how one can stay healthy working the hours I’ve been working. Here’s one thing that helps: don’t do it forever! My work is always more than forty hours a week, but these periods of never stopping and sleep deprivation don’t go on for very long at a time. The last five weeks or so have been particularly busy, and the last two before a major vote especially so.
    Most organizers, under the pressure, resort to bad coping mechanisms like overeating, smoking, or drinking too much. It’s so easy to think that a quick fix like that will make you feel better, when in the long run it makes you feel worse. I found that keeping low calorie really helped me maintain my mental focus in the last days. There’s something about eating just on the lighter side of what I really need that makes me calmer and sharper.
    Planning is really the key. We made the appetizing muffins over the July 4th weekend, and they were really a health-saver in these last two weeks. Being able to pull a 275 calorie package of perfectly zoned yum-miness out of the freezer, engineered to have 27% of the RDA(Recommended daily allowance)of everything, made grabbing healthy food in a hurry easy. I had appetizing muffins for breakfasts on most days with such toppings as hot sauce, mustard, and fat free cream cheese. I really enjoy this little bread, so I felt like I was feasting instead of feeling deprived. Since my husband packs my lunch time salad, filled with an amazing array of greens that pack a nutritional punch along with pumpkin seeds for zinc and fat and eggwhites for protein, I had lunches taken care of. And I was lucky enough to be working in a place that has a convenient subway, so subway salads and low carb wraps were always available. Subway can really be a blessing to the health conscious on the run.
    The good news is: WE WON!!! And we won big. 272 votes for us, 128 for the other union, and only 19 for no union at all. It was a fight up until the end, including threats of violence from the other union. Don’t worry, Mommies and Daddies out there. I was very careful never to be alone anywhere, I am being extra cautious. Our leaders inside the hospital were under a ton of pressure as they got attacked by both management and the other union, but so many of their co-workers were supportive that they held up beautifully. Now they finally have a chance to negotiate a contract that gets them the kind of salaries, benefits and working conditions they deserve. It’s about time.
    I’m off to a meeting to plan next steps... the fun never ends!
In order to stay healthy while working busily, the author suggests that

选项 A、we should work no more than forty hours a week.
B、we should try to get rid of the working pressure.
C、we should try to avoid sleep deprivation and fast food.
D、we should stop working and make up for sleep at times.

答案D

解析 第1段第2、3句建议我们不能长时间持续工作而不睡觉,反过来说,就是建议我们要时不时放下工作,补充睡眠,由此可见,D与原文内容一致。B和C都很具干扰性。B中的pressure一词在第2段首句有提及,但原文只提到我们有工作压力,而没有谈到要怎样消除;C看起来像是将第1段和第2段提到的内容结合了起来,看起来是最具概括力的,但其实第2段提到的overeating,drinking,smoking等都不是与fast food直接相关的内容。
