Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential , or __41__, customers. They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in. As we move away from an industrial –based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have come up with __42___ to the traditional work environments of the past.

Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workstation.

Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees’ __47___ to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.

All these __50___ of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like a good marriage--- the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other. III.

If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals. In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 in people’s lives.
