Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 38
Everyday life today is much more complicated than in the past. Even in our leisure time we have to make so many choices about what to do or even what to watch on TV. We are often spoilt for choice and this can leave us feeling confused and dissatisfied. We all know that it is important to achieve a balance between work and play, but many of us do not succeed. Instead, we put extra pressure on ourselves by trying to be as successful as in our work life as in our personal life.
Life in the past was much simplier as many people worked to meet their basic needs. Today, for many of us, our job is not just a way of making a living. For many, work plays an important role in our everyday life and gives us a strong sense of personal fulfilment. What's more, we have become much more materialistic. Many people set themselves goals such as buying a new house or car and so we measure our success by the material things we own. Desiring these luxuries is what motivates us to work much harder than in the past, so in many ways we choose this way of life.
We have worked hard to improve our standard of living, but it may have come at a very high price. We need to make some changes in our priorities so that family occasions are as important as business meetings. We should also take every possible opportunity to enjoy our leisure time. Once you have made the decision to do this, you should find that your quality of life also improves.
According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT that ______.
A. many people don't have work-life balance
B. our quality of life improves when we enjoy our leisure time
C. for many people, success can be measured by the material things they own
D. people today usually prioritize their family occasions over business meetings
