问题     Forget milky drinks, hot water bottles or curling up with a good book. The real secret to a good night’s sleep may be where you sit at work.

"Office workers with more light exposure at the work place also【C10】________have better sleep quality, more physical activity and a better quality of life."

【C2】
选项 A、out
B、over
C、off
D、down
答案C
解析 从下句中workers forced…in windowless rooms had a poorer quality…(在无窗的房间里工作的员工睡眠质量差)可推出，坐离窗太远的员工的睡眠质量也会较差，故选C项off，knock off“减少”，此处指比正常睡眠少了46分钟。A项knock out意为“击昏；使无用”。B项knock over意为“撞倒；弄翻”。D项knock down意为“打倒；拆除”，表示数量减少时指降价。三个短语都不符合语境。
