问题     Relaxing isn’t easy. I know — I have tried it. I can see, therefore, why Japan’s government should want corporations to have full-time "leisure advisers". It seems an idea worth copying. A start should, perhaps, be made at the very top. Captains of industry often find it hardest of all to relax. Some buy a luxurious yacht, a beach house, or even an island, but seldom make use of these expensive leisure facilities. "I don’t have time for a holiday," they insist. What they usually mean is not that they couldn’t find the time, if pressed, but that they don’t want to. More often than not the plain truth is that they don’t know how to ease up. No one has ever told them how to do it.
    You can’t be a frantic executive one day and a leisurely beachcomber the next, the contrast is too great. But a captain of industry on a beach and he tends to get bored and restless. He misses the pace, the action. Invite him to play tennis and he will probably decline, because he fears that he will look foolish —he prefers to play games in the office, where he is a proven winner. If he has a holiday home, or stays in a plush hotel, he will be on the telephone six times a day, doing what he does best.
    So what can a "leisure adviser" do for him—or, increasingly, her? The basic task is to change attitudes, and gradually to introduce him to various leisure activities. A good start is to persuade him that holidays are a "psychological investment", and that it is perfectly feasible to combine business with pleasure.
    They can take work with them. For a captain of industry, holidays are ideal of strategic planning. They can call the office, though the aim must be to reduce the number of calls as the holiday progresses. They can be persuaded to take up golf. It is not only a pleasant and healthy way of going for a leisurely walk, but it can also be good for business.
    Once the initial leisure training period has been completed you can try to hook him on other activities which are every bit as challenging as a take-over bid. He can climb mountains, ride river rapids, go scuba diving. He may well end up making a happy discovery; leisure can be fun.
A frantic executive put on a beach tends to______.
选项 A、be boring and restive
B、miss the pace and get lost
C、fear that he will be a good laugh
D、find it hard to have a beak in the routine
答案D
解析 原文“But a captain of industry on a beach and he tends to get bored and restless．”中的get bored and restless．意为“感到烦恼和不安”。而A选项中的be boring and restive中的boring意思是“令人烦恼的人或物”。感到烦恼和不安就表明很难得到正常的休息，故D正确。
