问题     The nature of work is changing. Recent technological
advances, a shift from manufacturing to service-based
organizations, increased global competition, and the importance of
knowledge workers all have contributed to a dynamic and complex
work environment. To survive, organizations must embrace
flexibility and adaptability. They must have a systems view that
help them to integrate the meaning of common everyday【M1】______
occurrences into overall interrelationships, interdependencies, and
patterns of change to allow them to achieve this needed
adaptability. Very often, organizations accompany these goals【M2】______
through the implementation of teams.
    A team is a collective of dependent individuals who together【M3】______
have shared objectives, mental models, and procedures that guide
their perceptions, thinking, and behaviors toward a common goal.
The process which teams achieve this commonality is called【M4】______
collaboration. Dissimilarly, cooperation has been discussed as a【M5】______
team skill competency that includes offering help to those team
members who need it, pacing activities to fit the needs of the team,
and behaving so that actions are not misinterpreted. Collective
organizations immerse themselves to the virtues of collaboration【M6】______
and cooperation by reducing the hierarchy of social stratification
on which traditional bureaucratic organizations rely. However,【M7】______
they encourage decisions to be made by the collective group to
foster a sense of community and shared purpose. Cooperation and
teamwork facilitate coordination, communication, adaptability,
enhance employee participation, and empowerment, thereby【M8】______
allowing individuals to achieve collective outputs that are greater
than the sum of their parts. Organizations continue to depend on
teams and the synergy they engender to assist at streamlining work【M9】______
processes that promote efficiency, the increased innovation, and【M10】______
quality of products and services.
【M3】
选项
答案dependent一interdependent
解析 词汇错误。dependent意为“依靠的”，interdependent表示“相互依存的”。此处作者给“团队”做出了明确的定义：团队是一个集体，他们有共同的目标、精神模范和工作过程，而这个过程将指导他们的观念、思想及行为朝一个共同的目标前进。根据定义，团队成员间应该是互相依赖的关系，所以要将dependent改为interdependent。
