问题    The furniture and accessories in a private office can send apowerful message about the image the occupant wants to project. A more subtle choice—the【C1】______ you face when sitting at your desk—says a lot about you too, designers say.
   People whose desks face straight toward the door may want to【C2】______ an image of power and【C3】______ . "It gives them a view of everything going on outside the office," enabling them to【C4】______ visitors, avoid surprises and【C5】______ what’s going on, says Leigh Stringer, workplace strategist at the architecture and interior-design firm HOK. Others, however, find the door distracting.
   Those who sit at an angle can keep an eye on who is【C6】______ by to avoid being ambushed (伏击；埋伏 ). Ms. Stringer calls it "the Serengeti effect". Being able to "look out across the office and see the【C7】______ approach" is naturally calming, she adds. Workers are【C8】______ in cubicles (小 隔间) often must face a corner or back wall. This might work for hermits, but it can foster anxiety. It allows colleagues to "come up and startle you, and maybe see what was on your screen," says industrial designer Douglas Ball.
   Have you been stuck with your desk facing in a direction you disliked? Have you【C9】______ your desk to convey the image you want? Or do you notice feeling differently about the occupant of an office based on where they【C10】______ their desk?
A) anticipate F) beautiful K) seeing
B) monitor G) passing L) convey
C) stuck H) give M) tiger
D) involved I) repositioned N) get
E) place J) direction O) authority [br] 【C4】
选项
答案 A
解析 enable sb．to do意为“使某人能够做某事”，to后面加动词原形，因此本空需要填一个原形动词，和后面的visitors搭配。anticipate意为“预见，预测”，这句话的意思是：这让他们能看清办公室外的一切，使他们能提前看到访客，避免意外状况和其他“惊喜”。
