There's nothing wrong with you. But if you continue, like this, you'll find a new home in our hospital. " Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his employees worked too.

參考答案及解析
46.B [解析]該空格前一句提到Semler去掉了一些不是必須的工作崗位，例如秘書和接待員，而后面一句就說明這樣做的好處：既經(jīng)濟(jì)又平等，即B選項的內(nèi)容。
47.C[解析]該段主要講的是辦公室的結(jié)構(gòu)變化，例如老板和員工的辦公室都是用植物隔開的，還提到了員工的著裝也較為自由，因此這里選C合適，即：員工可以隨心所欲地裝飾他們自己的辦公室。
48.D[解析]該段以負(fù)責(zé)公司油泵維修的Rubin Agater為例來做說明。該段前一句提到公司的油泵( pump)出問題了，而Rubin Agater是這方面的專家。因此選D。
49.F[解析]該段第一句即說明該公司在工作時間和其他方面的靈活性和對員工的自由度和益處，例如員工可以自己決定幾點來上班。只有F選項的內(nèi)容（使用公司的機(jī)器用來做自己的項目，而且員工每年有至少三十天的假期）和這一思路吻合。
50.A [解析]該段前兩句中提到：Semler說這源自同事的壓力，來自同事的壓力讓每一個員工為其他員工努力工作。因此選A。
