Many peple cnfuse hard-wrking peple with wrkahlics(工作狂). Hw culd a persn tell that he/she is a wrkahlic? A wrkahlic wrks lng hurs, at the expense f persnal relatinships and health. When nt wrking, they’re thinking abut wrk. Wrk influences their md: when wrk is ging well, they’re up; when wrk is ging less well, they’re dwn.
Wrking, r simply being busy, can be a hard habit t break. When wrkahlics aren’t busy wrking—r ding smething t prmte their wrk—they feel anxius and guilty. They hang nt jbs fr dear life and d everything they can t make sure they’re essential.
There is a link between health prblems and wrkahlism. Just because wrk itself is a respectable pursuit(追求) desn’t mean that an addictin t it is any less damaging than ther srts f addictins. A number f studies shw that wrkahlism has been assciated with a wide range f health prblems, such as anxiety and heart disease.
Besides health prblems, being a wrkahlic brings ther negative effects as well. A study published in the American Jurnal f Family Therapy fund that wrking t much negatively influenced an emplyee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising, since if yu’re married t yur wrk, it can be difficult t be married t anything, r anyne, else. There have als been studies lking at the influence f wrkahlic parents n their children and the news isn’t gd. Adult children f wrkahlic fathers experienced mre depressin and anxiety and a weaker sense f self.
Hwever, there are als many psitive aspects t wrking hard and t an increasing devtin t career. Hard wrk can bring great rewards. Fr many, it’s hw they develp feelings f self-wrth and cnfidence and purpse. If yu have a wrkahlic in yur life, yu might pint ut the things he r she is missing ut n while at wrk, whether it’s a child’s sccer game, a gd bk, r a yga class. Seek t understand why the persn feels the need t wrk s much and supprt them in finding a slutin.
8. What can we infer abut wrkahlics?

B. They usually have life utside wrk.
C. They ften get pleasure frm wrk.
D. They win respect frm their wrkmates.

If yu’re stuck in what seems like an endless cycle f prcrastinatin (拖延), guilt and chas, yu might be wndering “Why am I s lazy?”. Despite that cmmn belief, laziness usually isn’t the reasn behind prcrastinatin, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychlgist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have abslutely n desire t even think abut this.’ Prcrastinatin is, ‘It trubles me t think abut this. And therefre, it’s hard fr me t get the jb dne.’ That’s a big difference.”
Knwing why yu prcrastinate and learning hw t fight against it are the nly ways t change yur behavir. Psychlgist Sapadin sught t help this self-imprvement effrt with her bk Hw t Beat Prcrastinatin in the Digital Age. Yu culd be the perfectinist, the dreamer, the wrrier r the defier (对抗者) — these are all prcrastinatin styles that Sapadin lists in her bk. Bth perfectinists and wrriers might put ff starting tasks due t a fear f failure r criticism. And like a perfectinist, a dreamer might always want smething better. As fr the defier, they tend t view life in terms f what thers expect r require them t d, nt what they want. This pessimism weakens their mtivatin t cmplete tasks.
Prcrastinatin can have practical cnsequences, such as falling behind at wrk r failing t achieve persnal gals. But there are als emtinal r mental impacts. It has been assciated with depressin, anxiety and stress, pr sleep, inadequate physical activity, lneliness and ecnmic difficulties, accrding t a January study f mre than 3,500 cllege students.
Knwing why yu prcrastinate can make yu self-aware, but yu still need strategies t break the habit. In such cases, “cnsider cntacting a prfessinal, like a psychlgist, wh might be able t help yu,” said Shatz, a creatr f the website Slving Prcrastinatin. “Visualizatin (可视化) wrks,” Shatz added. “If yu can imagine Yurself cmpleting a task, then it becmes mre achievable simply because yu have an idea that it can be dne.” At the end f the day, hw yu apprach life is “all abut yur belief system”. If yu believe yu can, yu can. Whatever yu believe, yu’re right.
12. What des Jenny Yip mean accrding t paragraph 1?
A. Prcrastinatin keeps peple in chas.
B. Prcrastinatin is nt a result f laziness.
C. Lazy peple can’t help thinking abut the jb.
D. Lazy peple are ften stuck in prcrastinatin.
13 Why is the defier ne f the prcrastinatin styles?
A. They lng fr smething better.
B. They have a fear f failure r criticism.
C. They priritize thers’ expectatins.
D. They have a pessimistic utlk n life.
14. What des the authr indicate by mentining a January study?
A Prcrastinatin has an impact n ecnmics.
B. Prcrastinstin is cnnected with mental prblems.
C. Cllege students have difficulties in achieving gals.
D. Cllege students are generally affected by prcrastinatin.
15. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
