Since the beginning of the year, my office has become a romantic battlefield. Three relationships, lasting two or three years, have died.【R1】______Secret kisses in the office stairways, longing glances across the meeting table, silly declarations of love over the office message system and photographs of the significant others displayed for all to see on desks. These lovestruck fools were inseparable, seven days a week, nine to five and then after.【R2】______Then the relationships fell apart one by one, and everything went to hell. The workplace, once a romantic playground, became as tense as a demilitarized zone.【R3】______Luckily, they have emerged from their failed romances with one valuable lesson learnt: office relationships don’t work.
It’s natural to meet someone in the workplace when you spend three-quarters of your life there. An office romance might even turn out stronger and sweeter because of the commonly-shared working experience. But when emotional bankruptcy occurs, being in the same office as your former love might be torture.
【R4】______Whereas other couples can only meet after work, you get to look at your beloved at work every day. All of a sudden, work seems so much more tolerable when you have a close mate who is able to relate to your office problems and offer a reassuring presence when the going gets tough. Your work performance might even improve as both of you motivate and help each other out. An office couple also share the same social network, which generally includes the other colleagues in the workplace.
【R5】______The physical closeness that was so cherished by the couple becomes a double-edged sword. The thrill of seeing your beloved daily at work quickly sinks into the dread of bumping into her whenever you head for the copy machine. Also, without the benefit of breathing space to allow you to recover from the failed relationship, you are forced to suppress your anger and jealousy as other people start approaching to make a romantic offer to your former partner.【R6】______The lovers might start to take each other for granted.
And let’s not forget the professional conflicts of interest. For instance, what happens if one supervises the other, or if they are competing for the same promotion? And, as the office relationship explodes, its aftershock is often felt on all sides.【R7】______Most importantly, an office relationship might make the lovers believe that they have a lot more in common than they actually do. Take away the job-related conversation, and you might be left with two people who have very little to say to one another.
Nonetheless, office romances still happen.【R8】______But mark out lines between work and your personal life. Sad break-ups in my office show that love and work make a disastrous mix.
A. Not that intra-office romance is always bad, of course.
B. Suddenly, colleagues from the same social group are forced to choose sides.
C. But office romances are often bad news, especially when they start falling apart.
D. And still, they couldn’t get enough of each other.
E. Anyway, it’s a wonderful opportunity to share your life with your partner when you work together.
F. They started out beautifully.
G. The former lovers avoided each other like a disease.
H. Even if the relationship is still alive, seeing your partner every day for so many hours might be too much.
【R3】
选项
答案
G
解析
本段和上一段形成鲜明对比,恋爱关系破灭后,办公室由一个浪漫的操场变成了一个紧张的战场,所以G选项:“以前的情人们现在像躲避疾病一样躲避对方。”和上一句话意义连贯,符合逻辑。
