【解析】

在全世界最大的科技公司之一的谷歌工作是有压力和无聊的吗？一点也不！实际上，谷歌有着美国大公司中最好的生活环境。本文介绍了谷歌的工作环境。

【1】句意: 实际上，谷歌有着美国大公司中最好的生活环境。

After all毕竟；By the way顺便说说；For example例如；In fact实际上。Not at all！表示“一点也不”，此句紧接表达，在谷歌工作不会压力大或者无聊。In fact介词与名词的固定搭配，表示“实际上”，逗号隔开，修饰整个句子。然后介绍Google有最好的工作环境。故选D。

【2】句意：在谷歌的工作环境相当放松。

surprising令人惊讶的；relaxing放松的；interesting有趣的；amusing好玩的。根据The company encourages staff to do whatever they want in the office.“公司鼓励员工在办公室想做什么做什么。”以及Is it stressful and boring working at Google“在谷歌工作是有压力和无聊的吗？”可知此空是与压力相对的“放松的”。故选B。

【3】句意：动物爱好者甚至能带宠物上班。

almost几乎；ever曾经；even甚至；both两者都。此空为副词修饰动词bring，此句的前四句都是介绍在公司可以做的事情，此句表示可以带宠物上班，even用于加强语气，表示“甚至”，意为“动物爱好者甚至能带宠物上班。”故选C。

【4】句意：它提供很多有趣的免费课程，例如手语、烹饪、绘画和钢琴。

guides指导；offers提供；takes取走；learns学习。此处It指代上文提到的the company，并结合句意可知公司提供一些免费有趣的课程，公司作主语，只有offers符合句意，表示“提供”。故选B。

【5】句意：咖啡壶和开放厨房随处可见。

everywhere随处可见；somewhere某个地方；anywhere任何地方；nowhere任何地方都不。根据no staff member should be 100 feet away from food.可知员工离食物不超过100英尺。可推测咖啡壶和开放厨房应该是到处都有，才能让员工距离食物不远。故选A。

【6】句意：其中一个管理者说：“我们关心员工的健康，因此我们鼓励他们吃健康的食物。我们研究表明如果提供给人们足够的食物，他们就能做出更好的选择。”

choice选择；cooking烹饪；health健康；behavior行为。根据have healthy food可知他们关心员工的健康。故选C。
