根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Laziness is a state of inaction. It’s something that you do, not something that you are. 31 This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is identifying themselves as someone who is lazy. Lazy people are the ones who don’t do anything. You can view a student who never studies as lazy. You can see an employee who doesn’t do his work has being lazy. 32 But are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy?

There is a huge difference between saying you act lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. 33 This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy; they simply are people who are temporarily acting that way.

So what causes a person to be inactive? 34 If you give someone a good enough reason to do something, they will do it. If you give them a reason, a strong enough reason that is, they will take action. For example, if you are too lazy to go to the gym, would you go if someone offered you a million dollars to go? If you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action?

35 Before you take action though, you need a compelling reason to do so. To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal.

A. The answer is a lack of goals and purpose. B. They can be seen as underachievers or even bums. C. Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything. D. In all of these cases, what the lazy person is doing is being lazy.

E. One is suggesting that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it’s permanent. F. The bottom line of overcoming laziness comes down to finding enough reasons to take action. G. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do anything. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）
