问题     A phrase that first became fashionable a decade ago is everywhere. "Bring your whole self" is one of four values that British Land, a property developer, trumpets on its website. Quartz, a publisher, ran a workshop last year called "How to navigate the wholeself workplace". "Your whole self is welcome here," pledges ING, a bank, to prospective employees.
    Behind this thought lies a good intention—or rather lots of good intentions. The notion of the whole self variously captures the idea that people are more engaged in work if they believe in a firm’s purpose; that teams are more effective if colleagues understand each other; that people with different identities should feel comfortable in their own skins; that firms should care about and respond to issues that affect their staff’s well-being, from mental health to child care; and that leaders need to show some of their personal side to be connected with their staff.
    However, any idea that covers so much ground is bound to have holes in it, and this one would make a colander blush.
    Most obviously, no one should actually bring their whole selves to work. People are a melange of traits, some good and some bad. Many of them should be kept well away from the workplace. Your professional self displays commitment to the job and eats lunch at a desk. Your whole self is planning the next holiday and binges ice cream on the sofa. Pretending to be someone you are not is not a problem; it’s essential.
    For the same reasons, your employer may say it wants you to bring your whole self to work but doesn’t really mean it. A company is a hierarchy, in which even the most understanding bosses expect people to follow orders rather than their hearts. Say something that causes your firm embarrassment, and you will end up being disowned rather than lauded for authenticity.
    Any job that involves a uniform is by definition asking employees to subsume their personalities, not express them. When times are tough or performance is shoddy, an employee is an individual second and a line item in the budget first. If the circumstances require it, he will be asked to leave and take his whole self with him.
    As a result, the bringing of whole selves is carefully circumscribed. One of the attractions of the workplace is that it is a place where there is a shared endeavour. That endeavour is called "work". You need to be capable of empathy, but you don’t need to constantly emote. You have to turn up, try hard and play your part. You have to bring your role self.
A company holding the value of "bring your whole self may believe that________.
选项 A、it evokes good intentions in its employees
B、an employee’s family is part of the company
C、high productivity results from team with full trust
D、individual privacy is not good for team building
答案C
解析 细节题。根据题干中的company可定位至第二段。第二句提到，people are more engaged in work if they believe in a firm’s purpose(如果人们相信公司的目标，就会更加投入地工作)。由此可见，员工充分信任公司的目标和团队伙伴，公司对员工的福利给与全力支持就会产生高生产率。选项C与此意思一致，故正确。A项属于张冠李戴，第一句说这种想法的背后其实是管理者美好的意愿，并不是说能激发员工良好的意图，故排除该项。B项属于过度推理，第二句是说公司要关心员工的健康和育儿困难，并不能由此推断出员工的家人是公司的一部分，故排除该项。D项属于是非混淆，领导者需要展示个人的一些方面，故排除该项。故本题答案为C项。
