　　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? Morelikely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week or "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 youhave 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 bas 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. Ifthings 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 t.bere 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 toleam to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.

　　答案：

　　1.作者認(rèn)為，我們?cè)诜砰L(zhǎng)假的時(shí)候最可能想要做什么?

　　A)盡可能地延長(zhǎng)假期。

　　B)在工作與玩樂之間找到平衡點(diǎn)。

　　C)盡快回去工作。

　　D)完全地放松，沒有任何憂慮。

　　[B] 第2段最后三句表明作者認(rèn)為干活和玩樂應(yīng)該并行，不能光干活，也不能光玩樂，由此可見，選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。其他選項(xiàng)與作者觀點(diǎn)相反，因此都不正確。

　　2.文章指出，大部分人都不喜歡自己的工作，因?yàn)開___________。

　　A) 上班工作是在浪費(fèi)自己的時(shí)間

　　B) 他們的工作不能帶來滿足感

　　C) 他們完全給工作困住了

　　D)收入與工作不成正比

　　[C] 原文在首段和第3段分別提到兩個(gè)人們不喜歡他們的工作的原因，其中第3段提到的第2個(gè)原因是more prevalent reason,由此可見，正確選項(xiàng)應(yīng)與第2個(gè)原因同義，選項(xiàng)C是它的近義替換，為本題答案。進(jìn)項(xiàng)A是第1個(gè)原因，但不符合題干most people的要求;選項(xiàng)B和D在原文均未提及。

　　3. 當(dāng)一個(gè)人在考慮抉工作時(shí)，最大的困難是______________。

　　A)離開一間公司和一個(gè)好老板

　　B)減少家庭負(fù)擔(dān)

　　C)放棄穩(wěn)定的收入

　　D)為未來做更好的計(jì)劃

　　[C] 第3段倒數(shù)第2句表明最大的困難是steady paycheck，即放棄穩(wěn)定的收入最困難，因此本題答案為選項(xiàng)C。接他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)均未提及，與“最大的”困難無關(guān)。

　　4. 作者建議，工作的時(shí)候有了“氰化物膠囊”。你就可以____________。

　　A)很快找到一份理想的工作

　　B)像間諜片里的主人翁一樣勇敢

　　C)更加能夠容忍現(xiàn)在的工作

　　D) 有勇氣放棄一份無法忍受的工作

　　[C]作者在第4段首句首先提到“cyanide capsule”，然后在第2、3句對(duì)此做出了解釋，第4句對(duì)cyanide capsule的作用做了總結(jié)，選項(xiàng)C是對(duì)第4句中的hold on a little longer的近義改寫，因此為本題答案。

　　5.在什么時(shí)候你會(huì)改變對(duì)工作的態(tài)度?

　　A)當(dāng)你有機(jī)會(huì)做選擇的時(shí)候。

　　B)當(dāng)你對(duì)現(xiàn)在的工作很負(fù)責(zé)的時(shí)候。

　　C)當(dāng)你準(zhǔn)備好最新的簡(jiǎn)歷的時(shí)候。

　　D)當(dāng)你從工作中得到了你需要的東西的時(shí)候。

　　[A]第5段倒數(shù)第2句表明being in this position就能改變一個(gè)人的態(tài)度，而this position指的是上文提到的“為自己提供一種選擇”。這樣，在無法忍受的時(shí)候還可以有另一個(gè)選擇，由此可見，選項(xiàng)A為本題答案。
