问题     Like many workers, Ivelisse Rivera, a physician at Community Health Center, Middletown, Conn. , feels stressed-out by mounting workloads. And she didn’t expect to get much help during her employer’s【C1】________ staff meeting last November—just the usual speeches on medical【C2】________.
    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 dieme 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
    C) assure       H) invariably    M) shake
    D) confer       I) issues        N) techniques
    E) confronting  J) layoffs       O) technology
【C10】
选项
答案E
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于avoid和a wide range of serious problems之间，故此处应填动名词。上文提到“积极思维将导致人们逃避”，下文又出现“经济和工作环境中的一系列严重问题”，由此推测所填词应表示“面对，应对”之意，故选E)confronting。
