abouta pany man devotedall histhoughts andenergy to work andeverything elsewas secondaryto thatand theend mightbe consideredtragically heroic:he worked himself to death.The authorpaints anironic pictureof thecutthroat lifeofapanyman and hisfamily.The man was a workaholic whodied ofa heartattack,which surprisedno one.His wifelost himyears agoto hiswork,and hischildren didnot knowhim well.Structural analysisof thetext andlanguage pointsThe passagecan bedivided intofour parts.?Part One:(Paragraphs1)This isintroductory part.The followingquestions canbe asked:1.What haveyou learnedfrom the first sentence?(concise asit is,thefirstsentence providesthe informationof“who”,“what”,“how”and“when”.2.Why arethese adverbs“finally andprecisely”used?(“Finally”suggests thedoomed endingof theworkaholic.“Precisely”emphasizes hisdevotion towork,as hedied ona Sunday,a daywhen peoplearesupposedto takea rest.)?Part Two:(Paragraphs2-6)This partreports howdevoted the manwasto hiswork.Unlike mostessays whichusually makeit clearwho thecharacter isat thevery beginning,this essaybegins withthe pronoun“He”.At theendof the thirdparagraph wherethe namewas finallymentioned,readers onlyget toknow thefirst nameof thedeceased,not hisfull name.This,on theone hand,is meantto getthe readersinvolved infinding outwho isbeing discussed,and onthe other,suggests thefact thatworkaholicism hasbee amon phenomenon.The deceasedwas onlyone of the manyworkaholics whobury themselvesin theirwork andforget allabout theirindividuality.The manwhich the author describesin thistext wasa workaholicwho caredabout nothingbut work.While manyothers in his panyworked fourdays aweek,he workedlong hoursfor sixdays everyweek.The manwas one ofthesix vice-presidents andoneofthe threepossible suessorsto thepresident.The authorreports itin detailto showhow suessfulhe hadbeen andimportantly,to revealhow fiercethe petitionwas in the pany.To Phil,Saturday isnot aday torelax,but onlya timeto changetoacasual wear.Part Three:(Paragraph7-13):this partdescribes Phils roleinhisfamily.At home,the wifehas losther husbandto hiswork formany years.And hiseldest sontried toknow whathis fatherwas likefrom hisneighbors.His daughterfound nothingto talkwith himand hisyoungest sonhad verylittle toshare withhim.To hischildren,he seemedlike astranger.The authorrepeats“he finallyworked himselftodeath,at precisely3:00a.m.Sunday morning”three time.By repeatingthis sentence,the authorrelates thetwo contradictoryideas-work andSunday andthus revealsthe personalityofthemanandsuggests thatthemanis destinedto beexhausted.Part Four:(Paragraph14-16)After thecause ofPhils deathbeing restated,theauthorgoes onto reportthe panypresidents inquiryfor hissuessor.By puttingcontradictory actionsor ideastogether suchas“workedhimselfat3:00a.m.Sunday morning,”“On Saturdays,Phil worea sportsjacket tothe office”“he(his son)went aroundthe neighborhoodresearching hisfather”,theauthorcreates theimagine ofaworkaholic,one whoworked ondays whenothers werehaving theirholidays andone whofailed tobe aqualified husbandand fatherwhile beingsuessful inhis career.This articleends witha presidents question“whos beenworking thehardest?”this questionshows thatbeing hard-working isthe decidingfactor indetermining whetherone willbe promoted.From this,we canlearn thatit wasthis socialvalue ofthis petitivesociety thatdetermined Phils attitudetowards workand causedhis death.Language points1.Precisely:exactly E.g.They arrivedat fiveoclock precisely.2.Overweight:weighing morethan
