For at least a decade, introvert activists have been calling for a revolution: remake the extrovert-dominated workplace. Create a more inclusive culture equally suited to those who work better alone, with less outside stimulation. Then came the pandemic and many of us had to work from home. The 2020 "office" suddenly looked like the answer to an introvert-employee manifesto. It would be "a chance to play to our strengths". Five months on, how is the year of the introvert working out?
At first it felt unsettling. "Introverts recharge their batteries by being alone," writes Susan Cain in her best-selling Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking. Home is where we do it. So turning a place of escape into an office, and sharing a refuge via video calls, was weird. Yet for introverts anxious about public speaking, it can also be helpful. You may feel less anxious addressing big groups when you’re in your own space secretly wearing your slippers. I do. Which is why I’ve accepted online speaking invitations I would have dodged otherwise.
WFH meetings have been a revelation. For the first time it is perfectly acceptable to say nothing unless you have something constructive to contribute. This is a relief compared to real life, where it can feel like making your voice heard at any cost is rewarded. Also invaluable for softer-spoken people in a culture that rewards loudness: the levelling power of the volume control. This relieves introverts of a frequent worry: "Will they be able to hear me?" Together, all this has ended the scourge of the introvert: dominant colleagues cutting other people off or ignoring them. In an online room, everyone waits their turn. In theory, that is. Badly run online meetings can be as much of a bear pit as analogue ones. Similarly, the insulating power of those noise-cancelling headphones turns out to be just as essential at home for keeping domestic sounds at bay.
And what about the lack of workplace
camaraderie
? For introverts, who do their best work alone, this is not necessarily a problem. And it turns out I see my teammates every day at our online morning meeting. Since March, I have seen them more than anyone I’m related to.
"OK, but won’t you miss the office chat working at home?" asked my super-sociable work friend, by now sounding a bit incredulous. "Won’t you feel lonely?" It might sound odd but, typically for a solitude loving introvert, I’m not sure I understand the question.
What does the underlined word "camaraderie" (Line 1, Para. 4) most probably mean?
选项
A、Attendance.
B、Friendship.
C、Teamwork.
D、Enthusiasm.
答案
B
解析
由题干关键词camaraderie和Line 1,Para. 4可定位至文章第四段第一句,该句大意为“缺少了职场中的________会如何呢?”通过后文可知,这样的缺少对于内向者而言“未必是个问题”(this is not necessarily a problem):线上晨会能看到团队成员们,“我见到他们的次数比任何和我亲近的人都多”(…I have seen them more than anyone I’m related to)。由此可见,对于内向者来说,线上办公并没有影响同事间的联系,故这里的camaraderie指的是“同事间的关系、情谊”,B项Friendship意思与其更为贴近,故为正确答案。选项A“出勤”是对第三句“线上晨会”句意的错误解读,故排除。C项“团队合作”和D项“(工作)热情”均不符合段意,可排除。
