问题    The work-life balance is dead. By this, I’m not advocating that you should give up your pursuit of having a fulfilling career and a thriving personal life, and I’m definitely not saying that you have to give up one to have the other. I also acknowledge that we have a work-life problem, but I’m arguing that the concept of balance has never been helpful, because it’s too limiting. You see, our language makes a difference, and how we refer to things matters because it affects our thinking and therefore our actions.
   At the minimum, most of us work because we want to be able to support ourselves, our families, and the people around us. In the ideal world, we’re all doing work that we’re proud of and that provides meaning and purpose to us. But even if your job doesn’t give you shivers of joy each new day, working is a part of what each of us does and the contribution we make to society. When you separate work and life, it’s a little bit harder to make that connection. But when you think of work as part of a full life and a complete experience, it becomes easier to see that success in one aspect often supports another.
   Losing your balance and falling isn’t pleasant. A goal to balance suggests that things could quickly get off balance, and that causes terrible outcomes. It’s more constructive to think of solutions that continue to evolve over shifts in life and work. Rather than falling or failing, you may have good days or better days or not-so-good days. These variations are normal, and it’s more useful to think of life as something that is ever evolving and changing, rather than a high-risk enterprise where things could go wrong with one misstep.
   How we talk to ourselves matters, and how we talk about issues makes a difference. Let’s bury "work-life balance" and think bigger and better about work-life fulfillment to do a little less balancing and a lot more living. [br] What does the author suggest by saying "The work-life balance is dead"?
选项 A、The hope of achieving a thriving life is impossible to realize.
B、The pursuit of a fulfilling career involves personal sacrifice.
C、The imbalance between work and life simply doesn’t exist anymore.
D、The concept of work-life balance contributes little to a fulfilling life.
答案 D
解析 细节辨认题。定位段第一句指出，工作与生活的平衡已经消失了。第三句提到，平衡的概念从来没有什么帮助，因为它太局限了。D)中的contributes little和原文中has never been helpful相对应，故答案为D)。
