答案解析:

36. B 前文提到“Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done.”(当你试图完成工作时，干扰是最难处理的事情之一)，后文又说“there are several ways to handle things.”(有几种处理事情的方法)。

B选项“When you want to avoid interruptions at work”(当你想在工作中避免干扰时)起到了承上启下的作用，引出了下文介绍的处理干扰的方法，所以选B。

37. A 后文“Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.”(告诉对方你很抱歉，并解释你有很多事情要做，然后问你们是否可以在不同的时间交谈)。

A选项“If you’re busy, don’t feel bad about saying no”(如果你很忙，不要因为拒绝而感到不好)符合语境，即当别人打扰你时，你可以拒绝，并解释原因，所以选A。

38. E 前文“When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then.”(当人们试图打扰你时，设定好时间，让他们知道在那个时间回来或者你会去找他们)。

E选项“It’s important that you let them know when you’ll be available”(让他们知道你什么时候有空很重要)进一步强调了让对方知道自己何时有空的重要性，与前文内容相呼应，所以选E。

39. D 前文“When you need to someone, don’t do it in your own office.”(当你需要找某人时，不要在自己办公室进行)。后文“it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.”(找借口回去工作比在你解释自己很忙后还试图让别人离开你的空间要容易得多)。

D选项“If you’re in the other person’s office or in a public area”(如果你在别人的办公室或公共区域)解释了为什么不在自己办公室找别人，因为在别人办公室或公共区域更容易找借口离开，所以选D。

40. G 前文“If you have a door to your office, make good use of it.”(如果你的办公室有门，要好好利用它)。

G选项“Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not”(当你有空交谈时，把门打开;当你没空时，把门关上)具体说明了如何利用办公室的门来避免干扰，所以选G。
