问题    Martin:
   I work not because I like it but that I have to, so I often count the minutes until stopping work or holidays. However, my sister is totally different. She enjoys her work so much that she often spends extra time on her job even takes work home with her. I think she is so crazy about work just as some people are about drugs or alcohol. I could hardly understand it.
   Joseph:
   Work is a core element of our lives. It gives us a sense of identity in the larger world outside the personal circle of family and friends. However, there are some people for whom work occupies an even more central place in their lives. Workaholics are a stereotype of modern life, and they are both praised and criticized. On the one hand, it may be the accepted way of earning promotion. On the other hand, workaholics are often viewed as neglecting aspects of life such as family and leisure that are important for maintaining a healthy equilibrium.
   Malcolm:
   In cities, workaholism is so common that people do not regard it as unusual. I think workaholics prefer to work rather than do anything else because they don’ t know how to kill time if they don’ t work. They can only get pleasure from work. Work is everything for them.
   Emily:
   Workaholism is dangerous in a sense because it can cause some problems. First of all, workaholics often have health problems because they don’ t have time to relax and keep themselves occupied all the time. Secondly, their family life is not happy since they spend little time with their family.
   Their marriage may even end in divorce.
   Linda:
   Being a workaholic can mean you achieve great things, but more people achieve great things without being addicted to work. Workaholics need time away from work and when I say "away from" I mean psychologically distanced from it as well as physically. If you are still obsessing about work when you should be focused on your loved ones or an outside of work activity then you are still basically working.
   Now match the name of each person(36 - 40)to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
   Statements
   [A]If you don’t get rid of workaholism, you may get ill.
   [B]To get promotion, you need to be a workaholic.
   [C]Workaholics’ behaviors are hard to understand.
   [D]Workaholics had better have some time with no work.
   [E]Workaholics don’ t know how to enjoy themselves except working.
   [F]It’ s hard for workaholics to be away from work psychologically.
   [G]Some people appreciate those who pay almost all their attention on work.

选项
答案E
解析 Malcolm对于工作狂的看法主要体现在“I think workaholics prefer to work rather than do anything else because they don’t know how to kill time if they don’t work．They can only get pleasure from work．Work is everything for them．”由此可知，他认为工作狂们喜欢工作胜过一切，因为他们不知道如果不工作的话，他们不知道该怎样打发时间。他们只能从工作中得到乐趣。对于他们来说，工作就是一切。因此，E选项“除了工作以外，工作狂们不知道该如何享受生活。”与文章表达相符，故E为正确答案。
