问题     Like many workers, Ivelisse Rivera, a physician at Community Health Center, Middletown, Conn. , feels stressed-out by mounting workloads. And she didn’t expect to get much help during her employer’s【C1】________ staff meeting last November—just the usual speeches on medical【C2】________.
    Instead, she got a big dose of something new: Happiness coaching. Keynote speaker Shawn Achor— a former Harvard University researcher and former co-teacher of one of the university’s most popular courses, Positive Psychology—extolled (激励) 90 listening employees to【C3】________ off dark moods at work by practicing such happiness—inducing【C4】________ as meditation or expressing gratitude.
    To her surprise, Dr.  Rivera says, she drove home filled with thoughts about cheering up,  " if I【C5】________ a negative attitude and complain all the time, whoever is working with me is going to feel the same way. "
    Happiness coaching is seeping (渗入) into the workplace. A growing number of employers, including UBS, American Express, KPMG and the law firm Goodwin Procter, have hired trainers who【C6】________ on psychological research, ancient religious traditions or both to inspire workers to take a more positive attitude—or at least a【C7】________ one. Happiness-at-work coaching is the dieme of a crop of new business books and a growing number of MBA-school courses.
    Critics say that pushing positive thinking is just a way for companies to improve morale while they continue to burden employees with the threat of【C8】________     and an ever-increasing workload.  In his book, Bright-sided, Barbara Ehrenreich blames "positive thinking" for【C9】________ it will lead people to avoid【C10】________ a wide range of serious problems in the economy and workplace.
    A) annual       F) draw          K) neutral
    B) assume       G) inevitably    L) notorious
    C) assure       H) invariably    M) shake
    D) confer       I) issues        N) techniques
    E) confronting  J) layoffs       O) technology
【C3】
选项
答案M
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于to和off dark moods之间，根据句法知识判断，to引出的是目的状语，因此空格处应填动词，构成动词不定式。前面提到Shawn Achor给员工们做快乐辅导，后面又提到忧郁的情绪，故空格处应填M)shake，构成短语shake off“摆脱”，此处表示摆脱悲观情绪。
