Unit 2The Company ManEllen Goodman11 He worked himself to death, finally and precisely, at 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning.2 The obituary didn’t say that, of course. It said that he died of a coronary thrombosis —I think that was it —but everyone among his friends and acquaintances knew it instantly. He was a perfect Type A2, a workaholic, a classic, they said to each other and shook their heads — and thought for five or ten minutes about the way they lived.3 This man who worked himself to death finally and precisely at 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning — on his day off — was fifty-one years old and a vice-president. He was, however, one of six vice-presidents, and one of three who might conceivably — if the president died or retired soon enough — have moved to the top spot. Phil knew that.4 He worked six days a week, five of them until eight or nine at night, during a time when his own company had begun the four-day week for everyone but the executives. He worked like the Important People3. He had no outside “extracurricular interests,” unless, of course, you think about a monthly golf game that way. To Phil, it was work. He always ate egg salad sandwiches at his desk. He was, of course, overweight, by 20 or 25 pounds. He thought it was okay, though, because he didn’t smoke.5 On Saturdays, Phil wore a sports jacket to the office instead of a suit, because it was the weekend.6 He had a lot of people working for him, maybe sixty, and most of them liked him most of the time. Three of them will be seriously considered for his job. The obituary didn’t mention that.7 But it did list his “survivors” quite accurately. He is survived by his wife, Helen, forty-eight years old, a good woman of no particular marketable skills, who worked in an office before marrying and mothering. She had, according to her daughter, given up trying to compete with his work years ago, when the children were small. A company friend said, “I know how much you will miss him.” And she answered, “I already have.”8 “Missing him all these years,” she must have given up part of herself which had cared too much for the man. She would be “well taken care of.”9 His “dearly beloved” eldest of the “dearly beloved” children is a hard-working executive in a manufacturing firm down South. In the day and a half before the funeral, he went around the neighborhood researching his father, asking the neighbors what he was like. They were embarrassed.10 His second child is a girl, who is twenty-four and newly married. She lives near her mother and they are close, but whenever she was alone with her father, in a car driving somewhere, they had nothing to say to each other.11 The youngest is twenty, a boy, a high-school graduate who has spent the last couple of years, like a lot of his friends, doing enough odd jobs to stay in grass and food4. He was the one who tried to grab at his father, and tried to mean enough to him to keep the man at home. He was his father’s favorite. Over the last two years, Phil stayed up nights worrying about the boy.12 The boy once said, “My father and I only board here5.”13 At the funeral, the sixty-year-old company president told the forty-eight-year-old widow that the fifty-one-year-old deceased had meant much to the company and would be missed and would be hard to replace. The widow didn’t look him in the eye. She was afraid he would read her bitterness and, after all, she would need him to straighten out the finances — the stock options6 and all that.14 Phil was overweig ht and nervous and worked too hard. If he wasn’t at the office he was worried about it. Phil was a Type A, a heart-attack natural. You could have picked him out in a minute from a lineup.15 So when he finally worked himself to death, at precisely 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning, no one was really surprised.16 By 5:00 p.m. the afternoon of the funeral, the company president had begun, discreetly of course, with care and taste, to make inquiries about his replacement.

英语课文the company man课文翻译英语课文the company man课文翻译如下：工作狂最终，他在星期天凌晨3点的工作中死去。
当然，讣告上并不是这么写的。
讣告上写的他冠状动脉血栓证而死亡，但他的好朋友和熟悉的人都很清楚。
他们彼此握着对方的手，摇头感叹地说他真的是一个一生追求完美的A型血人，一个很有典型性的工作狂魔，再之后用几分钟时间去反思他们自己的生活方式和工作方式。
这个男人最终在星期天凌晨三点整因工作而死亡。
星期天的早上，原本这天是这个51岁的副总裁的原定休息日。
他是公司的六位副总裁之一，也是副总裁中三位最让人信任的人其中一员，如果总裁去世或者退休的话，那么他已经成为了最高职位。
菲尔也很清楚这一点。
他一周的工作天数是六天，其中五天工作时间会到夜里八九点，而他的公司里除了高级官员，其他员工都已经开始实行四天工作制。
他工作起来的时候像一个重要人物。
当然，如同你想象中那样，他每月都会去打一次高尔夫球，除了高尔夫球外也没有其他的爱好。
不过对菲尔而言，高尔夫也是工作的一部分。
他经常在他的桌前吃鸡蛋沙拉三明治，所以难免有点发福，他的体重超过了标准体重20-25磅。
但他认为这没什么关系，因为他从不抽烟。
每到星期六的时候，菲尔会换下西服，然后穿着运动衫去上班，因为这是周末。
他的手下有大约60个人为他效力，大部分人在大部分时候都觉得他这个人很不错。
其中有三位一直紧盯着他的职位想取而代之。
理所当然的，讣告上没有提及这些。
不过讣告详细地介绍了他的遗孀。
他的妻子，海伦，是一个48岁的好女人，她没有什么特别的市场能力，在和菲尔结婚生子之前在一家公司上班。
她说，在女儿的记忆里，她很多年前，当孩子们还很小的时候，她就放弃了和他工作的抗争。
菲尔的一个工作伙伴对她说，“我知道你将对他有多么想念”，她回答道，“我一直都特别想他。
”“想了他这么多年了，”她如此在意的这个男人，必须放弃她，以后她也会被“好好的照顾”。

A recent global survey by the Centre for Work-Life Policy, a New York-basednonprofit group, found that 45% of executives were “extreme” workers, putting in more than 60 hours a week. Some 65% of men said their work stopped them from having a strong relationship with their children. The same was true for 33% of women.2.Workaholism has not been extensively researched and does not have a clear, clinicaldefinition, but it can be a serious problem.3. A person who is addicted to work may experience depression, anxiety, anger, highblood pressure, and a weakened immune system as a result of the high stress.4.Spouses and children can also be affected, with workaholics having a higher divorcerate than others.Text IThe Company ManEllen GoodmanGlobal ReadingI. Text AnalysisMain Idea●In a colloquial style, the author paints an ironic picture of the life of a company manand his family.●The man was a workaholic who died of a heart attack, which surprised no one. Hedevoted all his thoughts and energy to work and everything else was secondary to that and the end might be considered tragically heroic: he worked himself to death.II. Structural AnalysisParagraph 1 — The introductory part.Paragraphs 2-6 — This part reports how devoted the man was to his work.Paragraphs 7-13 — This part describes Phil’s role in his family.Paragraphs 14-16 —This is the end of the essay. After the cause of Phil’s death being restated, the author goes on to report the company president’s inquiry for his successor.Detailed ReadingQuestions1)What is the general tone of this article? What is the author’s attitude toward Phil?The general tone of this article is sarcastic. In describing in a mockingly serious manner different people’s responses to Phil’s death, the author wants to make the readers see the absurdity of a society that produces such a tragic figure as Phil. He is, in the deep sense, sympathetic with Phil, whose ignorance of the cause of his own tragedy renders him more tragic.2)Why does the author frequently mention the time “3.00 a.m. Sunday morning”?The time is revealing, from which readers can be easily attracted to give a deep thinking about the cause of Phil’s tragedy for 3.00 a.m. is within the small hours which might indicate that Phil had frequently worked well into the night when alive.3)Why does the author mention the company president’s inquiries about Phil’sreplacement at the end of the article?From this detail we can get the idea that the company, as well as other parts of the society, operates like a lifeless and ruthless machine and all people working in it have been dehumanized and transformed into parts of this machine. Therefore, we can draw the lesson that Phil’s tragedy is not merely a tragedy of himself, but rather of all the people who are not aware of their miserable existence or do not have the insight and power to change matters.Text IITime to Take It EasyWorkers of the world, relax.1A Lead-in Question for Text IIHow important do you think work is to a person?Main ideaThe Unhappy American Way attempts to tell the readers the major causes that prevent people from being happy is that most American people act on some principles rather than in impulse. They believe in a general theory on how to make one happy, but the theory is basically false. A competitive struggle dominates life in which happiness lies in getting ahead of those who are your neighbors, colleges or friends. They forget joys devoid of competitive elements. If people desire to live a healthy and happy life, they should allow impulse to have sufficient scope to remain alive and they should preserve a range of interest. Some people succeed in attaining their particular goal at the cost of freedom, which is an indispensable element in happiness.Notes1.Workers of the world, relax. (Subtitle)：This slogan is the title of a book andmovie Workers of the World, Relax: The Simple Economics of Less Industrial Work by Conrad Schmidt, an internationally known social activist. He is the founder of Artists Against War in Canada and the founder of the Work Less Party.2.work ethic (Paragraph 3)：A work ethic is a set of values based on hard work anddiligence. A work ethic may include being reliable, having initiative or maintaining social skills. Workers exhibiting a good work ethic in theory (and ideally in practice) should be selected for better positions, more responsibility and ultimately promotion.3.continentals (Paragraph 4): Continentals, in this context, refer to the people ofthe European Continent, as in contrast with the British (islanders).4.Al Gini (Paragraph 5): Dr. Gini is an associate professor of philosophy in theInstitute of Industrial Relations at Loyola University of Chicago. His most recent book is entitled My Job My Self: Work and the Creation of the Modern Person. He has also written and produced a play entitled, Working Ourselves to Death.5.Anglo-American culture (Paragraph 8): English and American culture.6.Oliver James (Paragraph 9): Oliver James (born 1953) is a clinical psychologist,writer and television documentary producer. He also frequently broadcasts on radio and acts as a pundit on television.7.“anti-work” movement (Paragraph 11): The anti-work movement argues thatlabor tends to cause unhappiness, therefore, the quantity of labor ought to belessened. The ethic appears to have originated in anarchist circles and to have come to prominence with essays such as In praise of idleness by Betrand Russell, The Right to Useful Unemployment by Ivan Illich, and The Abolition of Work by Bob Black, published in 1985. Paul Lafargue’s The Right to Be Lazy is one of the most classical works on the subject (Lafargue was Karl Marx’s son-in-law).Questions for Discussion1. How is much of Europe different from everywhere else when summer comes?1.How do Americans justify the fact that they work hardest of all the Westerners?2.Why do we say that the idea that time should be devoted to doing something isdeep-seated in Anglo-American culture?3.What is the hard nut for the anti-work rebels to crack?5. Why do we need some leisurely time in life?Key to Questions for Discussion1. When summer arrives, much of Europe is ready to lead a life of idleness. For example, people are ready to shut down for business, enjoy the beach, paid holiday, siesta time, comfortable sleep through the heat of the afternoon, returning to work in the pleasant cool of the evening.2. They hold that America is the richest and most powerful country in the world. One cannot make that happen by lying in bed. As Benjamin Franklin says, diligence is the mother of good luck and God gives all things to industry.3. Those who believe in work ethnic tend to maintain that work is good for both material profits and spiritual health.4. Those who are accustomed to hard work are most liable to forget how to relax. They will have to redouble their efforts to learn to be lazy.5. We need some leisurely time in life because we need sometime to relax ourselves, to contemplate the worlds inside ourselves and outside ourselves, and satisfy our peculiar interests.Memorable QuotesThe wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise.—BibleWhat is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.—W. H. DavieThe Bible is a collection of sacred scripture of both Judaism and Christianity.William Henry Davies or W. H. Davies (3 July, 1871 – 26 September, 1940) was a Welsh poet and writer.Question for DiscussionWhy it is important to balance work and life?Tip●Work-life imbalance is a public-health crisis and a major drain on our economy.●Stress is having a direct impact on our health, causing everything from heart diseaseand memory loss to infertility and obesity.●It’s a vital issue for businesses, facing escalating absenteeism and growing challengeswith retention and recruitment.●It’s affecting our home lives as well, wearing on marriages and affecting the kids. Butstill, there is resistance to reeling ourselves in.●Technology keeps us constantly tethered to the office, every evening brings countlesscommitments and an aging population means more people are caring for their parents as well as their kids.●Work has begun to dominate life completely, as personal lives are tailored to suitprofessional lives. Relationships, lifestyles, leisure activities all fall under this domain. Work and life are not separate entities anymore.。

Unit 2 The company man练习答案综合教程三
Unit 2 The company man练习答案综合教程三The Company Man, as depicted in the Unit 2 exercise in Integrated Coursebook 3, presents a comprehensive overview of a professional individual's busy schedule and workaholic lifestyle. This article aims to provide a detailed analysis and solution-oriented approach to the challenges faced by the Company Man, focusing on work-life balance, stress management, and efficient time utilization.Given the nature of the problem at hand, it is essential to adopt a systematic approach to address the difficulties faced by the Company Man. The article will be divided into three main sections: Work-Life Balance, Stress Management, and Time Utilization.Work-Life BalanceThe Company Man's primary struggle lies in achieving a healthy balance between professional life and personal well-being. To tackle this issue, it is imperative for the individual to prioritize and organize his commitments effectively.One effective method is to establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. This can be achieved by adhering to a set schedule, dedicating specific periods for work-related tasks, and ensuring leisure time is protected and utilized efficiently.Additionally, engaging in hobbies, pursuing interests, and spending quality time with loved ones can help foster a sense of fulfillment outside theworkplace. By embracing work-life balance, the Company Man can enhance overall happiness and productivity.Stress ManagementThe relentless pace and demands of a hectic work schedule can contribute significantly to stress and burnout. Consequently, it is vital for the Company Man to employ stress management techniques to mitigate these negative effects.Firstly, practicing mindfulness and engaging in relaxation exercises such as meditation or deep breathing can significantly reduce stress levels. These techniques encourage the individual to stay present, eliminate distractions, and promote mental clarity and focus.Moreover, incorporating regular physical exercise into the daily routine is another effective stress management strategy. Exercise releases endorphins, reduces tension, and improves overall well-being.Lastly, developing effective stress coping mechanisms, such as seeking support from trusted individuals or engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation, can help alleviate work-related pressure.Time UtilizationThe Company Man's tight schedule calls for efficient time utilization to ensure maximum productivity and personal growth. Employing effective time management techniques is crucial for effectively dividing tasks and avoiding burnout.To begin, the Company Man should prioritize tasks and categorize them into urgent and important, considering deadlines and potential impact. By doing so, time and energy can be directed towards high-priority tasks, ensuring optimum results.Additionally, eliminating distractions, such as excessive social media use or unnecessary meetings, can free up valuable time. Employing productivity tools and techniques, such as the Pomodoro Technique or time blocking, can enhance focus and productivity.Furthermore, delegating tasks to trusted colleagues or outsourcing non-essential activities can help the Company Man regain control over his schedule. Delegating responsibilities allows for increased efficiency, a reduction in workload, and more time for essential tasks.ConclusionIn conclusion, the challenges faced by the Company Man in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, managing stress, and utilizing time effectively can be overcome through purposeful actions and a systematic approach.

Unit 2The Company ManEllen Goodman11 He worked himself to death, finally and precisely, at 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning.2 The obituary didn’t say that, of course. It said that he died of a coronary thrombosis — I think that was it — but everyone among his friends and acquaintances knew it instantly. He was a perfect Type A2, a workaholic, a classic, they said to each other and shook their heads — and thought for five or ten minutes about the way they lived.3 This man who worked himself to death finally and precisely at 3:00a.m. Sunday morning — on his day off — was fifty-one years old and a vice-president. He was, however, one of six vice-presidents, and one of three who might conceivably — if the president died or retired soon enough — have moved to the top spot. Phil knew that.4 He worked six days a week, five of them until eight or nine at night, during a time when his own company had begun the four-day week for everyone but the executives. He worked like the Important People3. He had no outside “extracurricular interests,” unless, of course, you think about a monthly golf game that way. To Phil, it was work. He always ate egg salad sandwiches at his desk. He was, of course, overweight, by 20 or 25 pounds. He thought it was okay, though, because he didn’t smoke.5 On Saturdays, Phil wore a sports jacket to the office instead of a suit, because it was the weekend.6 He had a lot of people working for him, maybe sixty, and most of them liked him most of the time. Three of them will be seriously considered for his job. The obituary didn’t mention that.7 But it did list his “survivors” quite accurately. He is survived by his wife, Helen, forty-eight years old, a good woman of no particular marketable skills, who worked in an office before marrying and mothering. She had, according to her daughter, given up trying to compete with his work years ago, when the children were small. Acompany friend said, “I know how much you will miss him.” And she answered, “I already have.”8 “Missing him all these years,” she must have given up part of herself which had cared too much for the man. She would be “well taken care of.”9 His “dearly beloved” eldest of the “dearly beloved” children is a hard-working executive in a manufacturing firm down South. In the day and a half before the funeral, he went around the neighborhood researching his father, asking the neighbors what he was like. They were embarrassed.10 His second child is a girl, who is twenty-four and newly married. She lives near her mother and they are close, but whenever she was alone with her father, in a car driving somewhere, they had nothing to say to each other.11 The youngest is twenty, a boy, a high-school graduate who has spent the last couple of years, like a lot of his friends, doing enough odd jobs to stay in grass and food4. He was the one who tried to grab at his father, and tried to mean enough to him to keep the man at home. He was his father’s favorite. Over the last two years, Phil stayed up nights worrying about the boy.12 The boy once said, “My father and I only board here5.”13 At the funeral, the sixty-year-old company president told the forty-eight-year-old widow that the fifty-one-year-old deceased had meant much to the company and would be missed and would be hard to replace. The widow didn’t look him in the eye. She was afraid he would read her bitterness and, after all, she would need him to straighten out the finances — the stock options6 and all that.14 Phil was overweight and nervous and worked too hard. If he wasn’t at the office he was worried about it. Phil was a Type A, a heart-attack natural. You could have picked him out in a minute from a lineup.15 So when he finally worked himself to death, at precisely 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning, no one was really surprised.16 By 5:00 p.m. the afternoon of the funeral, the company president had begun, discreetly of course, with care and taste, to make inquiriesabout his replacement. One of three men. He asked around: “Who’s been working the hardest?”工作狂最终，他于星期天凌晨3点工作致死。
当然，讣告上没有这样写。
讣告上写的是死于冠状动脉血栓证，但他的好友和熟识的人都心知肚明。
他们互相握着手，摇头叹息地说他是一个追求完美的A型血人，一个典型的工作狂，然后用几分钟时间来反思自己的生活方式。
这个男人最终在星期天凌晨三点整工作致死。
星期天的早上，这天刚好是这个51岁的副总裁的休息日。
他是公司六位副总裁之一，也是副总裁中三位最让人信任的人之一，如果总裁已经逝世或者退休的话，他已经成为了最高职位。
菲尔清楚这一点。
他一周工作六天，其中五天工作到夜里八九点，他的公司里除了高级官员，其他人都已经开始四天工作制。
他工作起来像一个重要人物。
当然，就像你想象中那样，他每月打一次高尔夫球，他没有其他的爱好。
对菲尔而言，高尔夫是工作。
他总是在他的桌前吃着吃鸡蛋沙拉三明治，他难免有点发福，超重了20-25磅。
