Some people ought to defend the workaholic.
These people are unjustly accused, abused, and defamed -- often termed sick or morbid or on the border of pathology. About 30% of American business and commerce is carried on the shoulders of workaholics. The ratio might exist in art and science too.
Workaholics are the achievers, the excelers. There is a national conspiracy against excellence and undue admiration of commonness and mediocrity. It is as if we are against those who make uncommon sacrifices because they enjoy doing something.
Some famous 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. Think how many "normal" people and middle-ages who have never done anything well -- they are going to settle for less than what they could have become.
According to this passage,
选项
A、Freud led a well-balanced life.
B、workaholics can be helped.
C、workaholics should be admired.
D、so-called "normal" people are truly the sick people among us.
答案
C
解析
根据本文判断下列哪个对:选项A:弗洛伊德生活得很规律。错误,文章说爱迪生、福特、爱因斯坦、弗活伊德都是一心一意地投入工作,牺牲了许多东西,包括家庭和友谊。选项B:工作狂能够得到医治。错误,文章根本没有说他们像通常人认为的那样有毛病需要医治,而是在为他们正名。选项C:工作狂应该受到尊敬。正确,这是作者的意图。选项D:所谓的正常人其实是我们身边的病人。错误,作者只是认为我们周围这些正常人并没有做太多的事,付出多少努力。
