短文写出一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Workaholics live for their work, often spend
ing many extra hours at work, and often taking work home to compl
ete. It''s fine to live in a work-hard culture, but when work beco
mes the only reason for a persons existence above more important
things( such as family and friends), the issue becomes critical.
That''s the problem more and more Americans are faced with. Am
ericans are working more hours per week than in years past, and w
ith many companies reducing employees, more and more workers are
worried about their own jobs. Some studies show that as many as 4
0 percent of American workers don’t even bother to take vacations
, partly because of fears they may not have a job to come back to
if they do. Besides, it is obvious that part of the matter is fi
nancial. More and mgre people begin to define success in terms of
financial measures. The higher ones income is, the more respect
one gets. Finally, people nowadays live and work in a connected e
nvironment ---e-mails, instant messaging, fax machines, and cell
phones---making hard for them to truly get time away from their w
ork, even when they are on holiday. When work becomes the onl
y reason for being---when it becomes the only thing people think
about, the only thing that truly makes people happy, many America
ns find that they are no longer close to their kids. Divorce rate
jumps and serious stress-related health problems come up. Undoub
tedly, it is time to do something. To reduce workaholism, yo
u must stay away from work once in a while. There are many ways t
o do that: Spend time with family and friends: Call home often to
stay connected; Learn to say no to new assignments Consider exer
cises to get your body back to a healthy shape: Fight the urge th
at everything you do must be perfect. It will take some effort, b
ut for yourself and those you love, you really should make the ef
fort. Have a try and you won''t regret it.Writing Style:NarrationA
