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] 【C8】
选项
答案 J
解析 本句由but连接两个转折的分句，前面一个分句说“我很庆幸自己大多数时间都工作在唯才是举的环境”，下文举例说明与作者所处环境相反的情况，由此可推断，but后的分句作者表达的是唯才是举并不普遍。能够表达“普遍”之意的为J)norm。the ordinary意为“普通的人或事”，故排除M)ordinary。
