问题     You might think you left the world of cliques(小团体)and in-crowds behind when you left high school.
    You’d be wrong. The benefits of being popular【C1】______all the way into the adult workplace, based on research in the latest issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology.
    Just like children on the playground, co-workers not only agree on who’s popular, but they also afford those lucky few more favourable treatment. This【C2】______more help and courteous conduct, and less rudeness and withholding of helpful information,【C3】______on a study of 255 employees and their co-workers in hospital, restaurant, sales and administrative jobs.
    The researchers, Brent Scott of Michigan State University and Timothy Judge of the University of Florida, said popular workers【C4】______more co-worker support【C5】______of their status on the organisation chart. They also may gain an unfair advantage over less【C6】______colleagues, the researchers suggest, which may hinder a meritocracy. "By valuing popularity, organisations may be promoting a certain ’clubby’ atmosphere that mimics school culture" rather than【C7】______merit, the researchers write.
    I’ve been fortunate in working in meritocracies most of my life, but that’s not the【C8】______. Among fictional examples, consider the television comedy "The Office". Who in his or her right mind would promote the cold, manipulative Angela Martin over the amiable Jim Halpert? The popular paper salesman proves the study’s point, rising【C9】______on the Dunder Mifflin organisation chart with his smart "people skills", despite his【C10】______to his job.
    In fact, what these researchers call popularity, career coaches might call savvy office politics the art of getting people in your corner. And it’s clearly a big deal in many workplaces.

【C5】
选项
答案D
解析 第2段中提到受欢迎的员工会得到更多友善的对待，对应本空所在句所说的“人缘好的员工会得到同事们更多的帮助”，可以推断出这是和他们在组织中的地位无关的，且所填词能与of连用，符合条件的为D)regardless，regardless of意为“不管；不顾”。
