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.
When a company falls in financial trouble, the employees may________.
选项 A、be expected to restrain their feelings
B、face tough performance appraisal
C、have to limit their spending budget first
D、be disowned with their whole selves
答案D
解析 细节题。根据题干中的financial trouble可定位至第六段。第二句提到，When times are tough or performance is shoddy, an employee is an individual second and a line item in the budget first (当时局艰难或绩效不佳时，员工首先被看作预算表中的一个条目)。第三句接着点明，如果情况需要，员工将带着“全身心”离开。这里的leave与选项中的disowned都是表达“被解雇，离职”的意思，故D项正确。A项属于张冠李戴，第一句说的是有制服的工作都要求员工收敛性格，不要表达个性，但这并不是经济困难时的要求，故排除该项。B项属于无中生有，文章并没有提及绩效考核，故排除该项。C项属于望文生义，第二句说员工首先被看作预算表的一个条目，然后才是一个人，是老板把员工当成了预算的一部分，故排除该项。故本题答案为D项。
