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.
    The researchers, Brent Scott of Michigan State University and Timothy Judge of the University of Florida, said popular workers【C4】______more co-worker support【C5】______of their status on the organisation chart. 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.
A)concludes I)charming
B)based J)norm C)get K)fast
D)regardless L)enthusiasm
E)rewarding M)ordinary
F)extend N)slowly
G)drew O)indifference
H)includes [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 H
解析 空前的this指代前面一句中提到的“更多友善对待”，空后的more help…helpfulinformation都属于友善对待的具体说明，由此可知应填入一个表示“包含”的词，备选项中符合此意的为H)includes。A)concludes(推断；决定)在词形上有很大干扰，但词义不符。
