问题     It’s not just lonely at the top; it can be "disengaging" too. Many of the most unhappy, unproductive and potentially【C1】______employees can be found in the executive suite. These top dogs may put in the 【C2】______, but not the heart. They are common to most companies and number 【C3】______ the thousands.
    That may come as a surprise to the rank and file. 【C4】______ , one of the first rules of success is to do what you enjoy. It’s taken for【C5】______that top executives have found the magic, 【C6】______ surely they would have flamed out【C7】______short of the summit. But if executives are so【C8】______to their jobs, why would a 2002 Starwood Hotels & Resorts survey find that among 401 executives who play golf, 10% have called 【C9】______ sick to play a round? While it may make sense that lower-ranking workers are less likely to be engaged, many high-ranking executives are in the same 【C10】______. For example, 49% of top executives are engaged, vs. 43% of managers and 32% of non-managers. Striking is【C11】______ 9 % of top executives, nearly one in 10, are【C12】______disengaged. These executives are beyond the point of even going through the【C13】______. It can【C14】______the entire company, because companies with disengaged executives are likely to have disengaged employees【C15】______.
    Most people probably assume that big paychecks are enough【C16】______. But raises and pay scales don’t matter much【C17】______way, according to several studies. It shows no 【C18】______ between CEO pay and engagement, or even CEO pay and company 【C19】______. Big paychecks may even make executives feel【C20】______in their jobs, because they can’t try something else without sacrificing a small fortune.
【C8】
选项 A、assigned
B、devoted
C、adapted
D、confined
答案B
解析 考查动词辨析。空格处所在句意为：但是如果他们对工作这么______的话，为什么在2002年斯达伍德旅馆兼度假村做的调查中发现401位打高尔夫的老总中，有10％是打电话告病来的。devoted to意为“专心，献身”，代入文中，表示“致力于工作，对工作投入”，符合文意。assigned to“分配，委派”，adapted to“适应”；confined to“局限于”，均不符合题意。故答案为B．devoted。
