Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work: some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating--rescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators, some people may look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, contemplating, researching. We should remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance or while someone was "goofing off." Newton wasn’t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have some "lazy" build the car or stove we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker’s taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy"--that is, taking time off for a rest--is good for the overworked student or executive. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard, to doctor who’s simply working himself overtime too many evenings, at the clinic. So be careful when you’re tempted to call omeone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next book. [br] The main idea of this passage is _______________________.
选项
答案
there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazy
解析
在回答这类主旨题的时候不能期望从原文中找到原句作答,应该搞清楚每一段的大意,在此基础上进行总结。本文一共只有两段,由此可以推测涉及到了两方面的内容,第一段一开始就指出Laziness is a sin,everyone knows that,此后又列举了 laziness所带来的坏处;第二段首句提到Laziness can actually be helpful,随后用例子加以说明laziness带来的好处。这时不难看出本文的的大意即为there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazy。
