参考解析:
推断题。第五段开头指出,For when we sacrifice pleasure for pay our work lacks dignity uses our energy and, ultimately, breaks our spirit. 其实,图稳当也得冒险,因为当我们为了薪水而牺牲掉快乐,我们的工作就缺少了尊严,它将使我们精力衰竭,直到心力交瘁)”。由此可以推断出人们一直在工作的理想和赚钱的需要中挣扎,所以B为正确答案。A项:错误理解了文意,文中第三段第一句话说到,Most of us didn’t choose our careers to fulfill a purpose or mission. …job with a good company, reflecting such criteria as pay, title and security…我们当中的很多人并不是为了实现某个目标才选择我们的职业,我们只是为了在一家好公司里找一个好的职位,而工资、职务和有保障则作为评价工作好坏的标准,由此可以推知人们并不是放弃使命感而执著于追求金钱,这与文章的语气和感情色彩不符;C项:幸福是在工作之外获得的,但也不是绝对不可能在工作中实现的,错误;D项:错误在于文章一直强调工作的快乐和赚钱之间的矛盾,而D项的论断与此正相反;故本题正确答案选B。
