Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內容完成句子，每空不超過5個詞。

“We live to work or we work to live” is a very famous question. The society is moving faster and no one has the time to think about whether the way we follow is the best solution. In fact, it’s hard to solve the problem: the balance(平衡) between work and personal life.

Maybe you say you don’t want to have a personal life. You want to work all the time to devote(奉獻) yourself to your work. Before doing this, you’d better ask yourself, do you want to have a family?

The perfect example that shows the idea is Steve Jobs. He decided that no matter how rich he was or how nice it was to stay with his family, it’s more important to be creative and to bring new technologies. It’s clear that he gave up his personal life. People all over the world are thankful to him, but what about his family?

In my opinion, although work is important, we do need our personal life, such as family, friends and parties. We still need to work. And we should try our best to work well. But do remember that work is only one part of our life. Just like we need a balanced diet, we also need a balance between work and life.

【1】Everyone is too busy to ________ the question.

【2】It’s difficult to keep the balance ________.

【3】People all over the world are thankful to Steve Jobs because he ________ his personal life.

【4】According to the writer, ________ are also very important besides work.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】think about

【2】between work and personal life

【3】gave up

【4】family, friends and parties

【5】only one part

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要講的是“我們活著是為了工作還是我們工作是為了活著”是一個著名的問題。在工作和個人生活中尋找平衡是困難的，工作并不是生活的唯一。

【1】句意：每個人都太忙了，沒時間考慮這個問題。

根據(jù)文章第一段中的“no one has the time to think about whether the way we follow is the best solution”“沒有人有時間去思考我們遵循的方式是否是最好的解決方案”可知，應該是每個人都太忙而不能考慮這個問題，think about意為“考慮”，故填think about。

【2】句意：很難在工作和私人生活之間保持平衡。

根據(jù)文章第一段中的“it’s hard to solve the problem: the balance(平衡) between work and personal life”“很難解決這個問題：工作和私人生活之間的平衡”可知，應該是很難在工作和個人生活之間保持平衡，故填between work and personal life。

【3】句意：世界的人都感謝史蒂夫·喬布斯，因為他放棄了他的私人生活。

根據(jù)第三段中的“It’s clear that he gave up his personal life. People all over the world are thankful to him, but what about his family?”“很明顯他放棄了私人生活。全世界的人都很感激他，但是他的家人呢？”可知，應該是他放棄了他的私人生活，give up意為“放棄”，時態(tài)是過去時，give的過去式是gave，故填gave up。

【4】句意：根據(jù)作者所說，除了工作之外，家人、朋友和聚會也很重要。

根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“In my opinion, although work is important, we do need our personal life, such as family, friends and parties”“在我看來，雖然工作很重要，但我們確實需要我們的私人生活，如家庭、朋友和聚會”可知，作者認為除了工作之外，家人、朋友和聚會也很重要，故填family, friends and parties。

【5】句意：作者認為工作只是我們生活的一部分。

根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“But do remember that work is only one part of our life. Just like we need a balanced diet, we also need a balance between work and life”“但請記住，工作只是我們生活的一部分。就像我們需要均衡的飲食一樣，我們也需要平衡工作和生活”可知，作者認為工作只是我們生活的一部分，故填only one part。
