【解析】

这是一篇议论文。人们有时需要发泄一下。适当的抱怨会有益于你的身心健康。

1.根据下文提示“这对提高工作效率也有好处。”承接下文，G项Good news is, this workplace complaining is actually beneficial to your mental well-being.（好消息是，这种工作场所的抱怨实际上对你的精神健康有益。）切题。空格下句中的too“也”，将上下句连在一起。故选G。

2.根据空格下文提示“普莱特在接受澳大利亚广播公司珀斯电台采访时表示，他观察到这种开玩笑和抱怨持续了12个月，并意识到‘这有助于人们处理压力和沮丧情绪’。”承接下文，F项It was found that there’s actually benefits to these kinds of complaining session（研究发现，这种抱怨其实是有好处的）切题。故选F。

3.分析句子结构___3___,there will always be a corner of the office or the lunch room可知，前半句应该是一个状语从句或非谓语动词的形式，不可能是并列句，所以在B/D中选择。再根据后半句提示“在办公室或午餐室的某个角落，总会有一群或多或少的员工在某种程度上发泄不满。”承接后半句，B项No matter what kind of environment you work in（无论你在什么样的环境下工作）切题。B项与后半句构成含让步状语从句的复合句。故选B。

4.根据分号后面的内容“为了更好地理解它的功能，她不得不研究其他领域，如语言学。”承接后半句，E项 But this common activity in every workplace was so under -researched（但这种普遍存在于每个工作场所的活动却没有得到足够的研究）切题。故选E。

5.根据上文提示“无论是礼貌地讨论办公室运作的效率，还是抱怨老板，普莱特发现抱怨可以起到沟通的作用。”承接上文，C. It can even help staff to work through their negative feelings（它甚至可以帮助员工克服消极情绪）切题。故选C。
