In many major cities, where lockdowns meant that all but essential employees were working from home, most businesses have been reluctant to attempt a full-scale move back to the office. And large numbers of employees are saying they would prefer to keep working from home anyway.
Partly, that’s because they are worried about their health. But even when the health dangers of the pandemic fade, it seems that many workers, and many businesses as well, see the advantage of prolonging the new approach to work forced on them by the lockdown. A study this month by the Cigna international health-insurance company surveyed people in 11 countries around the world. Over half the respondents said they would like to work from home for two or three days a week in the future.
If that happens, and the whole concept of office-based work is redefined, the effect on city business districts would be enormous. With far fewer people based in traditional office buildings, the retail businesses serving the people working in them would face a major hit.
But an even greater impact—and adjustment—would involve the millions of people working from home, and their new relationships with the businesses they work for.
This brave new working world—if it’s to prove sustainable—will have to find a whole new definition of work-life balance. So far, the arrangement has been working for many. But it is evident that key issues remain to be resolved.
In the lockdown version of home-work, the distinction between home and work has become blurred. News reports from around the world in recent weeks have quoted business leaders as saying that most of their employees have been at least as productive as they were in the old office environment. But the Cigna study points to one possible reason why: Nearly 65% of respondents said that they were now working on weekends.
And not all home workers are created equal. For those who have been home-working in single-family homes, the experience has been incomparably easier than it is for those in small apartments, sometimes shared with others. Parents with young children have faced a further range of homework challenges. Many young singles are finding their new home-based lives to be socially isolated and lonely.
Finally, there’s the question of what may be lost in a wholesale move away from the office model. Can Zoom or Skype conversations with colleagues really substitute for water-cooler chats and old-style human interaction? And what about the old assumption that ideas and creativity benefit from the natural, often informal, process of talking to co-workers face to face?
However much life at home will have changed, there may be life in the old office yet.
The preference for working from home is brought about partly by_________.
选项
A、the burden of a busy schedule
B、the merits of the new way of working
C、the consensus reached by most businesses
D、the health-insurance provided by their company
答案

解析
由题干关键词brought about可知本题针对在家办公受到偏爱的原因提问,可定位至第二段,句②提及企业和员工看到了在家办公带来的好处,advantage与选项[B]“新工作方式的优点”中的merits构成同义替换,故为正确答案。
