? I was once in a relationship with a woman who was the most brilliant，creative and driven

person I'd ever known. I told her these things often because she didn’t see herself this way despite1)J achieving great success and acclaim（称赞）in her professional field. She was also 2)M gorgeous and sexy, though she seemed not to realize this either, so I told her these things too. But while I thought it was more important to praise her brilliance, it seemed to mean more to her that she was 3)L considered attractive.

? My experience with this girlfriend exemplifies a common phenomenon in life-when it comes

to complimenting a woman，men often walk a very difficult line. Of course, 4)B context matters. In a professional setting, talking about appearance is often inappropriate, but at a singles club, it may be important. She will be very pleased if a man thinks her clothes and 5）I accessories are pretty, or her hair looks wonderful. However, things in between these two cases are unclear. Women have every right to be recognized and 6)A appreciated for their intelligence and creativity. But at the same time, they want to be admired for their looks as well, for example, their perfect skin 7）H complexion and elegant outfits.

? Unfortunately, most guys don’t understand this. If we receive compliments from women,

they＇re usually about our achievements, not our looks. Most of us don't expect a woman to tell us how 8)O handsome or sexy we are, and some of us would find it hard to regard such a（n）9)D comment as sincere.

? I'm not saying it's very hard to be a guy these days.It is important for every man to

understand how to treat women with both respect and 10)F admiration. But as far as the right balance of these two is concerned, we really have no frame of reference, especially when it comes to looks.

我曾经在与一个女人之间的关系是最聪明的,我所知道的创造性和驱动的人。我经常告诉她这些事情，因为尽管她在自己的专业领域获得了巨大的成功和赞誉，但她并没有这样看待自己。她也很美很性感，虽然她似乎也没有意识到这一点，所以我也告诉了她这些事情。虽然我认为赞美她的才华更重要，但对她来说，被认为有魅力似乎更重要。

我的经验和这个女朋友是一种普遍现象在生活赞美一个女人,男人通常走路非常困难。当然,环境很重要。在职业场合，谈论外表通常是不合适的，但在单身俱乐部，谈论外表可能很重要。如果一个男人认为她的衣服和饰品漂亮，或者她的头发漂亮，她会很高兴。然而，这两种情况之间的情况尚不清楚。妇女完全有权利因她们的智慧和创造力而受到承认和赞赏。但与此同时，他们也希望自己的外表也能让人羡慕，比如完美的肤色和优雅的着装。

不幸的是,大多数人不明白这一点。如果我们收到女性的赞美,他们通常对我们的成就,不是我们的样子。我们中的大多数人都不希望女人告诉我们自己有多帅或多性感，而我们中的一些人会发现很难把这样的评论当成是真诚的。

我不是说很难一个人这些天。对每个男人来说，懂得如何以尊重和钦佩的态度对待女人是很重要的。但就这两者的正确平衡而言，我们真的没有参照系，尤其是在外貌上。

? In some urban centers, workaholism（工作狂）is so common that people do not consider it

unusual: They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D. C. for example，1)G frequently work 60 to 70 hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to；they do it because they want to.

? Workaholism can be a serious problem. True workaholics, being deeply 2)I immersed in their

work, allow themselves little or no time to take breaks. They like to work without being3)E disrupted, and they probably don’t know how to relax.

? But Is workaholism always bad？ Perhaps not. There are people who work well under4）A

stress. Besides, some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest n their own 5）H sphere. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their work 6)N challenges them keeping them busy and genuinely engaged.

but it is hard to 7）B quantify the pleasure with money. It offers more than 8)O financial security.

In addition, most Jobs Provide a socially acceptable way for people to meet others.So, though some people are compulsive（强迫性的）about their work, their 10)L addiction seems to be a safe or even an advantageous one.They feel empty and incomplete when they are involved in activities not related to work.

在一些城市中心,工作狂是如此常见,人们并不认为它不同寻常:他们接受正常的生活方式。政府工作人员在华盛顿特区为例,经常每周工作60到70个小时。他们不这样做,因为他们;他们这样做是因为他们想。 工作狂可能是一个严重的问题。真正的工作狂，沉浸在工作中，几乎没有时间休息。他们喜欢不受干扰地工作，而且他们可能不知道如何放松。

但是工作狂总是坏事吗?也许不会。有些人在压力下工作得很好。此外，一些研究表明，许多工作狂在他们自己的领域里有着巨大的精力和兴趣。他们的工作是如此的愉快，以至于他们实际上非常快乐。对于大
