The des i gn i ndustry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible ustrategic management environment.，J These 43 solutions aremeant to support better organizational performance.As emp I oyee h i erarch i es （等级制度）have flattened, or decreased, office designers, response to this change has been to move open-pI an areas to more desi rable locations within the off i ce and create fewer forma I pr i vate off i ces. The need for i ncreased f lexibi I ity has a I so been 44 by changes i n workstat i on des i gn. Offices and work spaces often are not 45 to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communicat ion, which designers have improved by lower ing the walls that 46 workstat i ons. Des i gners have a I so created informa I gathering places, and upgraded employees, 47 to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often 48 demands, including budgetary Iimits, employee hierarchies, and techno IogicaI i nnovat i on （especially in re I at i on to computer i zat i on） . These demands must a I so be balanced with the need to create inter iors （内饰）that in some way enhance, estab I i sh, or promote a company* s image and wiI I enable employees to 49 at thei r best.Al I these50of off i ce des i gn are re Iated. The mostthesuccessful office designs are I ike a good marriage we I I-des i gned office and the emp I oyees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.III.

Fill in each bIank with the word or phrase that best f i ts the context.If you stud i ed p i ctures that anc i ent peop I e I eft on rock walls and you tr ied to determine thei r meaning, you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with peopIe running after them.

Students seemed to 59 at an ear ly stage who would best fit i nto thei r I i ves.The 60 KnowsSc ient i sts have a I so turned to nonhumans to i ncrease understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones - naturaI chemicaIs that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as62as other animals at detecting such chemicaIs. SmeI I, however, does seem to play a part i n human attract i on. AI though we may not be aware of chemicaIs I ike pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smeI I in every interaction with other peopIe.Face VaIueWhen shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, peopIe responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face.
