【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要围绕中断这一话题展开论述。由于在工作中被打断是一件令人感觉很糟糕的事，因此作者提出了几点建议，防止此类事件的发生。

36.“____，there are several ways to handle things”,根据there are several ways to handle things，可知下文是关于几种防止在工作中被别人打断的方法，此句与前半句构成一个完整的句子，根据语境分析。故选B。

37.根据后文“Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the of you can talk at a different time”，这一段主要是讲述，学会在自己很忙的时候去拒绝别人。故选A。

38.根据横线前“have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then”安排好时间，让他们知道你在什么时候回来，或者告诉他们，你会去找他们，再结合后文“It can help to eliminate(消除) future interruptions”这样做可以帮助你消除未来被打断的可能，根据句意的衔接，故选E。

39.根据后文“it’s much easeier 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”，此句中it指代前文“don’t do it in your own office.”，也就是说此段中作者认为比起在自己的办公室解释，不在自己的办公室更容易点。故选D

40.根据“If you have a door to your office, make good use of it”可知，此段主要是讲述关于如何自己办公室的门来防止被打扰。故选G。
