问题    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 excellers. 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 m 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.
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 选项A：弗洛伊德生活的很规律。错误，文章说爱迪生、福特、爱因斯坦和弗洛伊德都是一心一意地投人工作，牺牲了许多东西，包括家庭和友谊。选项D：工作狂能够得到帮助。文章没有提到。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，并没有付出多少努力。
