　　Introduction

　　Some people are always more industrious than others in academic study or at work. On the face of it, there could be several reasons why this is the case, but is it always a good thing?

　　【解析】

　　industrious 勤勉的 adj.

　　on the face of it 乍一看

　　Body Paragraph 1

　　For the reasons, firstly, there is a clear connection between diligence and success. In this competitive world, being more hard-working, the one is more likely to excel other ambitious ones around and grab more opportunities, thus earning more as a reward. This payoff is a priority to many people as they all have to cover fees for housing, food, and health care, and wish to maintain a reasonable quality of life. Some others simply enjoy what they are studying or working on, to whom passion is the major incentive not to slack off. To know that they have given as much energy as they can to the course or career appealing to them is fulfilling in itself.

　　【解析】

　　Body Paragraph 2

　　Although some people advocate industriousness for what it can bring: material gain and a feeling of satisfaction, I would argue that there are some hidden pitfalls if one is too immersed in study or work. For one, people who frequently push themselves to the limit tend to suffer more from stress and fatigue, as too much physical and mental exertion is draining them. For another, it may undermine people’s sense of job security and satisfaction. This is because some of them, eager to get their hard work noticed and recognized, would be plagued and view their study and work less positively if they fail to receive enough appreciation.

　　【解析】

　　回应第二个问题：is it always a good thing?

　　我们当然认可其好处，但不可否认总会存在一些弊病。

　　industriousness 勤勉 n.

　　pitfall 隐患 n.

　　immersed 沉浸的 adj.

　　fatigue 疲劳 n.

　　drain 使精疲力竭 v.

　　undermine 渐渐降低 v.

　　plague 折磨、苦恼 v.

　　Conclusion

　　In conclusion, some people work harder for a reasonable quality of life or self-fulfillment. However, it seems that there would be some problems if they work too hard, and therefore, I think it could be better, sometimes, to cut themselves some slack.

　　【解析】

　　cut oneself some slack 放自己一马
