Five Ways to Win Over Everyone in the Office

Is it possible to like everyone in your office? Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people, much less 50, who all get along perfectly. But unlike in friendships, you need coworkers. You work with them every day and you depend on them just as they depend on you. Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side

41.____

If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace, you may try stay tight-lipped around them. But you won't be helping either one of you. A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness. The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book, but rather, when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them, you should just be honest.

42._____

Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others. We often feel the need to tell others how we feel, whether it's a concern about a project, a stray thought, or a compliment. Those are all valid, but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers, too. In fact, rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don't value their opinions. Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine, back- and-forth conversation, rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.

43._____

It's common to have a“cubicle mate" or special confidant in a work setting. But in addition to those trusted coworkers, you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you. Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don't always see. Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job. It requires minimal effort and goes a long way. This will help to gTow your internal network, in addition to being a nice break in the work day.

44._____

Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear. And you don't have to be someone's boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project. This will help engender good will in others. But don't overdo it or be fake about it. One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive, possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.

45.______

This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off, but it can go a long way to achieving results. Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction. Watch out for how they verbalize with others. Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters, while other are more straightforward. Jokes that work one person won't necessarily land with another, So, adapt your style accordingly to type. Consider the person that you re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.

【Part B答案解析】

解析：根據(jù)段落轉(zhuǎn)折句，“你這樣做對誰都沒有好處。”所以接下來就是作者的觀點。他說一個研究發(fā)現(xiàn)觀察者們一直對那些和他們坦誠的人評價很高，而對那些有所隱藏的失去信任。所以就是要真實，不要隱藏信息。

42. 答案是F Slow down and listen

解析：根據(jù)段落中心句: In fact, rishing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don’t value their opinions. 意思是實際上，急著表達你的觀點可能會讓同事們覺得你沒有重視他們的觀點。因此就是聽取別人的觀點。

43. 答案是D Spend time with everyone

解析：根據(jù)段落轉(zhuǎn)折句，“除了那些你信任的同事，你還應(yīng)該擴大你的圈子，并且尋找所有你身邊的人。因此就是要和每個人在一起。

44. 答案是A Give compliments, just not too many

解析：根據(jù)段落轉(zhuǎn)折句，“但是不要過度去做或者做假。應(yīng)該做的內(nèi)容就在下句，“一個研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們對于從負面到正面的評價反應(yīng)最好，也許因為這個評價表明他們有比其他人做得好。因此這就是要稱贊，但是不能太多。

45. 答案是C Tailor your interactions

解析：根據(jù)段落中心句，最后一句：So, adapt your style accordingly to type. 意思是要相應(yīng)地把你的風(fēng)格適合于不同的類型。也就是因人而異的意思。
