问题     It’s not just lonely at the top; it can be "disengaging" too. Many of the most unhappy, unproductive and potentially【B1】______employees can be found in the executive suite. These top dogs may put in the 【B2】______, but not the heart. They are common to most companies and number 【B3】______ the thousands.
    That may come as a surprise to the rank and file. 【B4】______ , one of the first rules of success is to do what you enjoy. It’s taken for【B5】______that top executives have found the magic, 【B6】______ surely they would have flamed out【B7】______short of the summit. But if executives are so【B8】______to their jobs, why would a 2002 Starwood Hotels & Resorts survey find that among 401 executives who play golf, 10% have called 【B9】______ sick to play a round? While it may make sense that lower-ranking workers are less likely to be engaged, many high-ranking executives are in the same 【B10】______. For example, 49% of top executives are engaged, vs. 43% of managers and 32% of non-managers. Striking is【B11】______ 9 % of top executives, nearly one in 10, are【B12】______disengaged. These executives are beyond the point of even going through the【B13】______.

    Most people probably assume that big paychecks are enough【B16】______. But raises and pay scales don’t matter much【B17】______way, according to several studies. It shows no 【B18】______ between CEO pay and engagement, or even CEO pay and company 【B19】______. Big paychecks may even make executives feel【B20】______in their jobs, because they can’t try something else without sacrificing a small fortune.
【B5】
选项 A、premise
B、granted
