Google 工作文化 —— 阅读理解习题与解析

建议三步走：先读原文做题 → 再看答案与解析 → 最后对照翻译

📖 原文

Working for Google is a dream of many, because of its enviable work culture. With about 37,000 employees in 40 countries, Google maintains a motivating work experience.

Google provides perks most organizations can't: bowling alleys, free haircuts, gym memberships, and shuttles. The secret is putting the same effort into keeping employees happy as into innovating products.

Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin aimed to make Google a place talented people wanted to work at. "We want our employees to love it here, because that's what's going to make us successful," said Karen May, VP of people development.

Google makes employees want to work by providing inspiring and challenging tasks. Every employee can spend 20% of working time on a project they choose. This takes them away from mundane tasks.

Google shows each employee how important they are. "If you value people, give them a voice, and really listen," May said. Employees have access to all company information, and leaders and employees solve problems together.

🔍 三、逐题解析

56. 细节理解题

答案：B

首段："because of its enviable work culture"——令人羡慕的工作文化/氛围。working atmosphere = work culture.D 只是众多福利之一，不是主要原因。

57. 细节理解题（排除题）

答案：A

第二段列举的福利包括：保龄球道（娱乐）、免费理发、健身房会员、班车（交通）。选项 A（免费用餐）在文中未被提及，因此是正确答案。

58. 细节理解题

答案：A

第三段："Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin." Google 由 Larry Page 和 Sergey Brin 共同创立。

59. 反向细节题

答案：B

第四段说员工可以花 20% 工作时间做自选项目，但并非"only work for the project they choose"（只做自选项目）。only 一词使该选项错误。其余三项文中均有依据。

60. 细节理解题

答案：C

第二段末句："The secret is putting the same effort into keeping employees happy as into innovating products." 谷歌的成功秘诀是把让员工幸福放在与产品创新同等重要的位置。

🌐 四、全文翻译

为谷歌工作是许多人的梦想，因为它有着令人羡慕的工作文化。谷歌在全球 40 个国家拥有约 37,000 名员工，始终保持着激励人心的工作体验。

谷歌提供了大多数组织无法提供的福利：保龄球道、免费理发、健身房会员以及上下班班车。公司的成功秘诀是：把让员工幸福放在与产品创新同等重要的位置上，投入同样多的时间和精力。

联合创始人拉里·佩奇和谢尔盖·布林的目标是让谷歌成为最有才华的人才都想来工作的地方。"我们希望我们的员工热爱这里，因为这才是让我们成功的关键，"人才发展副总裁 Karen May 说。

谷歌通过提供鼓舞人心且具有挑战性的任务让员工愿意工作。每位员工都可以花 20% 的工作时间去做自己选择的项目。这种自由让员工从日常琐事中解脱出来。

谷歌让每位员工都感受到自己对公司的价值。"如果你重视员工，就给他们发言权，并真正倾听，"May 说。员工可以访问所有公司信息，增添了一种信任感，员工和管理者共同解决问题。
