" We found that young people think that social networking is【C9】______behavior. "

选项 A、contain
B、maintain
C、sustain
D、obtain
答案 B
解析 动词辨义题。此句意为“尽管该研究的作者支持采取更严厉的惩罚措施来保证生产效率和员工的行为表现，但他们表示雇主必须让办公环境保持健康的平衡”，maintain a balance of意为“保持……的平衡”，故maintain符合文意。contain“包含”；sustain“维持，支撑”；obtain“获得”，均不符合文意，故排除。
