问题     Everyone has seen it happen. A colleague who has been excited, involved, and productive slowly begins to pull back, lose energy and interest, and becomes a shadow or his or her former self. Or, a person who has been a beacon of vision and idealism retreats into despair or cynicism. What happened? How does someone who is capable and committed become a person who functions minimally and does not seem to care for the job or the people that work there?
    Burnout is a chronic state of depleted energy, lack of commitment and involvement, and continual frustration, often accompanied at work by physical symptoms, disability claims and performance problem. Job burnout is a crisis of spirit, when work that was once exciting and meaningful becomes deadening. An organization’ s most valuable resource—the energy, dedication, and creativity of its employees—is often squandered by a climate that limits or frustrates the pool of talent and energy available.
    Milder forms of burnout are a problem at every level in every type of work. The burned-out manager comes to work, but he brings a shell rather than a person. He experiences little satisfaction, and feels uninvolved, detached, and uncommitted to his work and co-workers. While he may be effective by external standards, he works far below his own level of productivity. The people a-round him are deeply affected by his attitude and energy level, and the whole community begins to suffer.
    Burnout is a crisis of the spirit because people who burn out were once on fire. It’ s especially scary and consequential because it strikes some of the most talented. If they can’ t maintain their fire, others ask who can? Are these people lost forever, or can the inner flame be rekindled? People often feel that burnout just comes upon them and that they are helpless victims of it. Actually, the evidence is growing that there were ways for individuals to safeguard and renew their spirit, and more important, there are ways for organizations to change conditions that lead to burnout.
Those who are burned-out, according to the passage, are potentially able______.

选项 A、to find a quick fix
B、to restore what they have lost
C、to be aware of their status quo
D、to challenge their organization

答案B

解析 末段作者提到不断有证据证明there were ways for individuals to safeguard and renewtheir spirit,更重要的是there are ways for organizations去改变导致burnout的条件,故B项正确。
