Ambitious people tend to be more materialistically successful than their non ambitious counterparts. However, they're only slightly happier than their less ambitious counterparts, and tend to live significantly shorter lives. This implies that even though ambitious people are more likely to achieve conventional "success," such success means nothing for their health and happiness--and if you don't have health and happiness, what else could possibly matter? (选自2023年6月第一套)What does the author advise us to do concerning ambition?A) Distinguish between conventional success and our life goal.B) Follow the example of the most ambitious entrepreneurs.C) Avoid taking unnecessary risks when starting a business.D) Prioritize health and happiness over material success.

题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这道题。

题目给出了一段论述,大意是:

  • 有抱负的人(ambitious people)在物质上往往比没有抱负的人更成功;
  • 但他们只比不那么有抱负的人“稍微快乐一点”;
  • 而且他们的寿命明显更短;
  • 因此,尽管有抱负的人更容易获得传统的“成功”,但这种成功对他们的健康和幸福“毫无意义”;
  • 最后一句是关键:“如果你没有健康和幸福,还有什么可能重要呢?”

我们要回答的问题是:作者关于抱负(ambition)给了我们什么建议?

我们来看选项:

A) Distinguish between conventional success and our life goal.
(区分传统意义上的成功和我们的人生目标。)
这个选项有一定道理。文中确实提到了“conventional success”(传统成功),并质疑它的价值。但文中并没有明确说要“区分”或“重新定义人生目标”,所以这个选项虽然接近,但不是作者最直接的建议。

B) Follow the example of the most ambitious entrepreneurs.
(效仿最有抱负的企业家。)
这与文意完全相反。作者指出有抱负的人寿命更短、幸福感提升有限,显然不鼓励盲目追随这类人。

C) Avoid taking unnecessary risks when starting a business.
(创业时避免不必要的风险。)
文中根本没有提到“创业”或“风险”,属于无中生有,排除。

D) Prioritize health and happiness over material success.
(把健康和幸福放在物质成功之上。)
这是最符合文意的选项。作者通过对比指出:尽管有抱负的人更富有,但他们并不更幸福,而且寿命更短。最后一句反问:“如果你没有健康和幸福,还有什么可能重要呢?” 这明显是在强调健康和幸福才是最重要的,暗示我们不应为了物质成功而牺牲它们。

因此,作者的建议是:不要一味追求抱负和物质成功,而应优先考虑健康和幸福。

正确答案是:D

答案:\boxed{D}

解析

本题考查对文章内容的理解和推理能力。解题思路是先理解文章中关于有抱负的人的物质成功、幸福程度和寿命情况的描述,然后分析每个选项与文章主旨的契合度。

  1. 文章指出有抱负的人在物质上更成功,但只比不那么有抱负的人稍微快乐,且寿命明显更短,最后强调健康和幸福的重要性。
  2. 分析选项:
    • A选项:文章虽提到传统成功,但未明确说要区分传统成功和人生目标,所以该选项不符合文章最直接的建议。
    • B选项:文章指出有抱负的人寿命更短、幸福感提升有限,不鼓励盲目追随这类人,该选项与文意相反。
    • C选项:文章中根本没有提到创业和风险,该选项属于无中生有。
    • D选项:文章强调健康和幸福的重要性,暗示不应为了物质成功而牺牲它们,该选项符合文章主旨。

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.
