    Is it possible to like everyone in your office? Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people, much less 50, who all get along perfectly. But unlike in friendships, you need coworkers. You work with them every day, and you depend on them just as they depend on you. Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side.
    【R1】________
    If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace, you may try to stay tight-lipped around them. But you won’t be helping either one of you. A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness. The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book, but rather, when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them, you should just be honest.
    【R2】________
    Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others. We often feel the need to tell others how we feel, whether it’s a concern about a project, a stray thought, or a compliment. Those are all valid, but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers, too. In fact, rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don’t value their opinions. Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine, back-and-forth conversation, rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.
    【R3】________
    It’s common to have a "cubicle mate" or special confidant in a work setting. But in addition to those trusted coworkers, you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you. Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don’t always see. Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job. It requires minimal effort and goes a long way. This will help to grow your internal network, in addition to being a nice break in the work day.
    【R4】________
    Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear. And you don’t have to be someone’s boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project. This will help engender good will in others. But don’t overdo it or be fake about it. One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive, possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.
    【R5】________
    This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off, but it can go a long way to achieving results. Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction. Watch out for how they verbalize with others. Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters, while others are more straightforward. Jokes that work on one person won’t necessarily land with another. So, adapt your style accordingly to type. Consider the person that you’re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.

选项

答案D

解析 复现结构+无关词排除法。考生首先对本填空所对应的原文段落进行分析,注意到此段落中出现了明显的转折标志词But。由于But这种转折标志词通常引出段落的主旨,因此考生重点去定位But之后的信息。而But之后的信息又出现了A Harvard Business School study found that,这是非常典型的引出段落主旨观点的句式,之后的信息是observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness。考生把握了这些信息就很容易定位出本段落的主旨信息是说明:与同事的交往中应该frank(坦诚的),而那些有所隐瞒的人则会失去别人的信任。本段落此后的原文信息中也多次重复出现表达此主旨观点的核心线索词,比如The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book, but rather, when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal(隐瞒) them, you should just be honest (诚实的)。考生据此再去与七个小标题进行对比,由于七个小标题非常简短,无论是阅读量还是阅读难度都很低,很容易发现小标题D项Reveal,don’t hide,information. 的信息与本段的主旨信息几乎属于同义复现,同时其他的小标题信息与本段的主旨信息明显无关,因此本题的唯一答案只能是选项D。
