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 elitists. 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 and 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-aged who have never done anything well--they are going to settle for less than what they could have become.
The author of the passage would most likely agree that the workaholic______.
选项
A、is mentally ill
B、performs an insignificant proportion of American business
C、will not have the regrets that many "normal" people face at middle age
D、suffers from low self-esteem
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。选项A:工作狂是神经病。显然不对。选项B:工作狂对美国的商界无足轻重。文章说美国30%的商务活动都是由他们来实现的。所以不对。选项D:工作狂缺乏自信。显然也不对只有选项C的意义是正确的,符合作者所持有的积极观点。
