Do you want to love what you do for a living? Follow your passion. This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. But this can be a problem.
Ive spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to “follow your passion” was flawed (有缺陷), for it lacks scientific evidence. However, it doesn mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.
Passion is earned. Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect, competence, creativity, and a sense of impact. In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.
Passion is elusive (难捉摸的). Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion, but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly “valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.
Passion is dangerous. Ive watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic(慢性的) job-hopping (跳槽) due to the “follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion, and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness, reality will always pale in comparison.
Work is hard. Not every day is fun. If you e seeking a dream job, youll end up frustrated, again and again. Don set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate, but its a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.

解析：文章主要分析了工作中常听到的Follow your passion这句话的不合理之处，强调当代社会有众多的变化，光有兴趣是不够的，但也不能没有热情。
【小题1】细节题。根据第三段people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect, competence, creativity，可知对工作有激情的人符合的特征，所以选D
【小题2】主旨大意题。根据文章大意，作者的观点是，不要选择自己喜欢的工作，而是要在工作中找出乐趣Don set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it，所以C正确
【小题3】推断题。划线句的意思是，如果你认为每个人在工作前都有兴趣，而寻找适合的工作会带来直接的乐趣，那么事实会显得苍白。暗指对于完美工作的期待只会让人失望，所以选D
