　　解题思路

　　1. 根本的原因之一在于，巨大的工作竞争和压力让人们变成工作狂。为了保住饭碗，他们不得不长时间的加班，开会，来确保他们在工作上有一个好的表现，也表现出他们对于公司的贡献和忠诚。 2. 另外一个原因在于，科技不断地提高着人们的工作量和工作预期。举例，电灯的发明让员工们在晚上加班成为可能;手机也模糊了工作和休息的界限，让人们在私人时间，周末，甚至是出门旅游的时候，也总是接到关于工作的短信和指示，这让他们无法顾忌自己的休息和照顾家庭。 3. 如何恢复工作和生活的平衡，取决于如下几个方面：首先，公司应该提供终身的工作合同，这能减少员工对于下岗的恐惧和压力，也让他们能把一些注意力用于个人生活。此外，工作时间应该被严格控制，禁止深夜和周末的加班。此外，人们在私人时间的时候，也应该远离那些通讯工具，不然自己被工作信息所困扰。

　　范文

　　In the modern society, there has been a heated social phenomenon that the life of people tends to be overwhelmed by work, so that they are lack of time for personal lives. In the following essay, I will explore the relevant causes and furnish practical solutions to the worrying trend. This phenomenon stems from many causes, and the first one is about employment. In fact, limited job positions, in conjunction with the overpopulation and a declined economy, make the job competition increasingly fierce. For the security of jobs, all employees have to devote themselves into working to keep a good performance. Besides, working hard also represents their loyalty and values to the companies. Another direct cause is driven by new technologies which serve a function of enhancing the working expectation among employees today. For example, the invention of electronic lights has made working at night available for workers, thus prolonging the work time. Similarly, the wide application of cell phones blurs the border between working and living. In leisure time of weekends and holidays, calls and messages from the companies, leaders of workplaces and clients frequently interrupt and even cancel the leisure plans of employees, as well as stealing their private time that could have been spent on the family, children, and parties with friends. In order to regain a balance between working and living, I think there should be combinative efforts of social laws, companies and individuals. Firstly, it is the obligation of the government to strictly enact and enforce the laws of limiting the working hours from all walks of life, which can ensure that employees have adequate private time for leisure, exercise and family. Secondly, on the level of corporations, they should provide life-long contracts, instead of temporary ones, to staff. Under a long-term security of employment, workers would get rid of the fear and anxiety of losing jobs, and can learn to work in moderation, rather than become workaholics. Lastly, employees should change a work-oriented lifestyle after a hard day at work, for example, overpassing emails, text messages and instructions sent from firms, which is a good way to shift their attention from working back to living.(361字)
