Despite the presence of workaholics, there is a growing realization in the United States that too much work demand can be physically and mentally harmful, Many people have been rebelling against the work ethic, claiming that no job is so important as to damage personal relationships and rob people of relaxation. There has been a shift in values, with more emphasis being given to personal relationships and relaxation. Leisure time provides opportunities to find personal satisfaction and freedom from the routine of work.
    Increased leisure time in the United States has not altered the idea that work and play are distinct activities. This distinction is clear-cut; there are "work-hours" and "afterwork-hours". There is a belief that it is desirable "to work hard and play hard" and undesirable to combine the two. In many offices, stores, and factories, socializing among employees is discouraged. An employee under pressure at work often cannot afford to respond to social calls and visits.
    However, the amount of personal contact on the job depends on the nature of the work. There may be more social interaction between teachers in a school than between scientists doing independent research. Nevertheless, work and play are usually perceived and maintained as separate activities.
Questions:
32. What is the result of too much work demand?
33. In order to rebel against the work ethic, what do many people believe now?
34. What do people expect an employee under pressure at work to do?
35. What does the speaker imply by saying "the distinction is clear-cut"?

选项 A、Personal relationships should come after one’s job.
B、People should care more about their personal relationships and relaxation.
C、When a job is very important, relaxation should be forgotten.
D、Personal relationships can help people do their jobs well.

答案 B

解析 推理判断题。文中先是提到太多的工作压力对身体和心理都是有害的,并说Many people have been rebelling against the work ethic,claiming that no job is so important as to damage personal relationships and rob people of relaxation(许多人一直在反抗这种压力过大的工作方式,并声称与损害人际关系和剥夺个人的休闲相比,没有什么工作是重要的)。这和答案B的意思一样,其他的选项虽都有关键词personal relationships,但都是对文章含义的曲解。因此选B。
