    Instead, she got a big dose of something new: Happiness coaching. Keynote speaker Shawn Achor— a former Harvard University researcher and former co-teacher of one of the university’s most popular courses, Positive Psychology—extolled (激励) 90 listening employees to【C3】________off dark moods at work by practicing such happiness—inducing【C4】________as meditation or expressing gratitude.
    To her surprise, Dr. Rivera says, she drove home filled with thoughts about cheering up, "If I【C5】________a negative attitude and complain all the time, whoever is working with me is going to feel the same way. "
    Happiness coaching is seeping (渗入) into the workplace. A growing number of employers, including UBS, American Express, KPMG and the law firm Goodwin Procter, have hired trainers who【C6】________on psychological research, ancient religious traditions or both to inspire workers to take a more positive attitude—or at least a【C7】________one. Happiness-at-work coaching is the theme of a crop of new business books and a growing number of MBA-school courses.
    Critics say that pushing positive thinking is just a way for companies to improve morale while they continue to burden employees with the threat of【C8】________and an ever-increasing workload. In his book, Bright-sided, Barbara Ehrenreich blames "positive thinking" for【C9】________it will lead people to avoid【C10】________a wide range of serious problems in the economy and workplace.
    A) annual      F) draw        K) neutral
    B) assume      G) inevitably  L) notorious

选项
答案 N
解析 名词辨析题。空格位于inducing和as之间，因此判断应填名词。前面提到，Shawn Achor激励90位听他演讲的员工摆脱工作中的悲观情绪，后面又提到“实施冥思或表达感激之情等快乐方法”，由此推测所填词应表示“技巧，方法”之意。因此应选N项techniques。
