问题     Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.
    If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of "boy, I can’t wait to get back to work." While all work and no play is not good, all play and no work is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.
    The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and have a spouse, a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choice.
    If you find yourself resenting your job because you can’t afford to quit, it may be time to prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a "cyanide capsule". He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent has such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body. If he’s captured and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change. Rather than cyanide, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up your current job, rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship. Being in this position can do wonders for your attitude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality, you are there only because you want to be.
    At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.
You will change your attitude towards your job when________.
选项 A、you are provided with the chance to choose
B、you are responsible for your present job
C、you get ready for your up-to-date resume
D、you get what you need from your job
答案A
解析 本题的关键词是change your attitude towards your job，可以定位于第四段和第五段。根据原文第四段第九句，此种情况(Being in this position)会让你的态度发生奇妙的变化(do wonders for your attitude)。此种情况指第七、八句提到的在无法忍受的时候还可以有另一个选择，由此可见，选项A与原文为相同含义，为正确选项。原文第五段讲到对你的工作岗位采取一种积极态度(adopting a positive attitude to your workplace)，关键在于对自身的处境承担责任(assuming responsibility for your own situation)，之后第三句又讲到他们必须学会驾驭所处的环境(manage that environment)，以便从中得到自己需要的东西(get from it what they need)，因此选项B中的对工作负责和选项D中的从工作中得到需要的东西. 都只是在对工作采取积极态度时应该做的事情，而并非是转变工作态度的原因，所以均属于答非所问。选项C “up-to-date resume”来自原文第四段第五句，up-to-date resume只是options里的一部分，因此选项C属于以偏概全。第五段：对工作积极关键在于学会对自身的处境承担责任。
