问题     You might think you left the world of cliques(小团体)and in-crowds behind when you left high school.
    You’d be wrong. The benefits of being popular【C1】______all the way into the adult workplace, based on research in the latest issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology.
    Just like children on the playground, co-workers not only agree on who’s popular, but they also afford those lucky few more favourable treatment. This【C2】______more help and courteous conduct, and less rudeness and withholding of helpful information,【C3】______on a study of 255 employees and their co-workers in hospital, restaurant, sales and administrative jobs.

They also may gain an unfair advantage over less【C6】______colleagues, the researchers suggest, which may hinder a meritocracy. "By valuing popularity, organisations may be promoting a certain ’clubby’ atmosphere that mimics school culture" rather than【C7】______merit, the researchers write.
    I’ve been fortunate in working in meritocracies most of my life, but that’s not the【C8】______. Among fictional examples, consider the television comedy "The Office". Who in his or her right mind would promote the cold, manipulative Angela Martin over the amiable Jim Halpert? The popular paper salesman proves the study’s point, rising【C9】______on the Dunder Mifflin organisation chart with his smart "people skills", despite his【C10】______to his job.
    In fact, what these researchers call popularity, career coaches might call savvy office politics the art of getting people in your corner. And it’s clearly a big deal in many workplaces.

选项

答案 F

解析 空所在句意为“良好人缘带来的好处会一直C1______成年人的职场生涯。”介词into表达一种“到……”的含义,由此可知所填词与into连用,表达“良好人缘的好处会延伸至成年人的职场生涯”,符合句意的为F)extend。
