Don't Be Workaholic

Workaholic and working hard are quite different.
Working hard involves being organized,focused,getting a lot of work done,knowing when to stop,and having a life other than work.Workaholics,on the other hand,are often disorganized,always find reasons for working more,feel lost without work to do,hide from problems through work, don't know how or when to relax,bring work home from the office,can't communicate well with fellow workers and family members and have unbalanced,one-dimensional lives.
Workaholics,like those who are constantly drunk,suffer from a controlling habit,usually defined as compelling behavior despite negative consequences.They are sometimes pushed into their habit by their work beliefs,by workaholic role models,and by a work system that automatically sanctions workaholism,Despite lip service to the contrary,most employers want loyal employees who work longer hours,rewarding them with higher pay and better benefits.In many companies,workers unwilling to burn the midnight oil are at risk.Certainly,they hazard their jobs by working normal hours.Americans tend to become trapped in a working and spending consumption mode,driven by merchants,that leads them to rack up their expectations.
According to some psychology counselors,workaholism can be both good and bad for us.It can fuel a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. And we get paid for it and praised for it,which produces good feelings we may not necessarily be able to attain in other parts of our lives.
选项 What does the phrase"lip service"refer to in paragraph 3?
A:Employer's words which is not supported by real conviction.
B:Words employees say to flatter their employer.
C:The service a company provide to its customers.
D:The service provided to employees.
答案A
解析根据文章第二段对工作努力的人和工作成瘾的人的对比，我们可以发现 A、B、C选项都是工作成瘾的表现，而D项却是工作努力的人的表现。
文章第三段第一句话向我们描述了工作成瘾的人的情况，由此我们可以得出结论选项B是正确的。
sanction当动词用时意思是“支持，批准”,forbid意思是“禁止”,encourage 意思是“鼓励”,approve意思是“批准，许可”,interdict意思是“阻止”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
根据后文，我们知道该句的意思是“大多数雇主尽管口头上说得很漂亮，可他们需要的是忠心耿耿的、愿意加班的雇员，并用高薪和更多的福利来奖励他们”。因此选项A是正确的。
文章第三段和第四段告诉我们只有选项C是正确的。
