A phrase that first became fashionable a decade ago is everywhere. "Bring your whole self" is one of four values that British Land, a property developer, trumpets on its website. Quartz, a publisher, ran a workshop last year called "How to navigate the wholeself workplace". "Your whole self is welcome here," pledges ING, a bank, to prospective employees.
Behind this thought lies a good intention—or rather lots of good intentions. The notion of the whole self variously captures the idea that people are more engaged in work if they believe in a firm’s purpose; that teams are more effective if colleagues understand each other; that people with different identities should feel comfortable in their own skins; that firms should care about and respond to issues that affect their staff’s well-being, from mental health to child care; and that leaders need to show some of their personal side to be connected with their staff.
However, any idea that covers so much ground is bound to have
holes
in it, and this one would make a colander blush.
Most obviously, no one should actually bring their whole selves to work. People are a melange of traits, some good and some bad. Many of them should be kept well away from the workplace. Your professional self displays commitment to the job and eats lunch at a desk. Your whole self is planning the next holiday and binges ice cream on the sofa. Pretending to be someone you are not is not a problem; it’s essential.
For the same reasons, your employer may say it wants you to bring your whole self to work but doesn’t really mean it. A company is a hierarchy, in which even the most understanding bosses expect people to follow orders rather than their hearts. Say something that causes your firm embarrassment, and you will end up being disowned rather than lauded for authenticity.
Any job that involves a uniform is by definition asking employees to subsume their personalities, not express them. When times are tough or performance is shoddy, an employee is an individual second and a line item in the budget first. If the circumstances require it, he will be asked to leave and take his whole self with him.
As a result, the bringing of whole selves is carefully circumscribed. One of the attractions of the workplace is that it is a place where there is a shared endeavour. That endeavour is called "work". You need to be capable of empathy, but you don’t need to constantly emote. You have to turn up, try hard and play your part. You have to bring your role self.
The "hole" (Para. 3) is mentioned to express that________.
选项
A、nobody wants to pretend to be someone else
B、some personalities are not suitable in workplaces
C、not every employee will show whole self at work
D、it is difficult for staff to decide where to eat lunch
答案
B
解析
词义题。根据题干中的hole可定位至第三段。第三段提到,“全身心投入”这一理念有一个漏洞,明显这一漏洞要在后文去找。第四段提到,没有人会真的把全部的自己投入职场,因为人的有些性格特征很糟糕,应该远离职场,从中也可推断出,一些性格特征不适合在职场展现,这也是“全身心投入职场”的漏洞所在,故B项正确。A项属于无中生有,原文没有提及,故排除该项。C项属于主观臆断,扩大了第四段第一句信息的范围,原文是说没有人会真正把全部的自己投入职场,并不是说 “不是每个员工都会在工作中展现全部的自我”,故排除该项。D项属于断章取义,原文是以吃午餐为例说明职业的自我和全部的自我是有明显区别的,并不是说吃饭地点这一问题就是“全身心投入”理念的漏洞,故排除该项。故本题答案为B项。
