【C10】
选项 A、relax
B、compete
C、stay
D、work
答案C
解析 根据本句句意“在全球化浪潮来临、竞争压力加剧和技术革新快得让人喘不过气来的今天，员工们很难在——不断增加的工作量的同时还能保持工作与生活的良性平衡”可知，此处应该表达“应对，克服”的意思，stay on top of sth．意为“保持一切在掌控之中”，符合文意，故C．stay为正确答案。relax“放松”代人句中指“在不断增加的工作量上放松”，与后面的while不构成反向对比，故排除。compete“竞争，比赛”不符合文意。work“工作”与on搭配，意为“从事于……，继续工作”与文意不符，也排除。
