问题     By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work for a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.
    Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.
    No doubt some temperaments take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite program of work. Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days, they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have become conditioned to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The " tough-minded" school of workers is usually very contemptuous of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously, under the influence of inspiration.
    Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of "freedom". Freedom from restraint and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to " self-expression" or " personality development". Our society insists on regular habits, time keeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands. [br] Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3 of the passage?
选项 A、The motivation to work is too complex to be fully understood.
B、Few productive workers set aside fixed hours for important work.
C、Temperaments do not influence workers’ keeping to a routine.
D、Many capable students avoid working in cycles when studying various topics.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。由第三段第一句话可知性格对是否能坚持恒常工作的影响很大，所以C错误；由该段第三、四句可知D错误；由we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work可推测“工作动机很复杂”，故A正确；由the majority of really productive workers…可知B错误。
