问题     If you think life is wonderful and expect it to stay that way, then you may have a good chance of living to a ripe old age, at least that is what the findings of a new study suggest. That study found that participants who reported the highest levels of optimism were far more likely to live to age 85 or【C1】________. This was compared to those participants who reported the lowest levels of optimism. It is【C2】________that the findings held even after the researchers considered factors that could【C3】________the link, including whether participants had health conditions such as heart disease or cancer, or whether they experienced depression. The results add to a growing body of evidence that certain psychological factors may predict a longer life【C4】________. For example, previous studies have found that more optimistic people have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases, and a lower risk of【C5】________death. However, the new study appears to be the first to【C6】________look at the relationship between optimism and longevity. The researchers【C7】________that the link found in the new study was not as strong when they factored in the effects of certain health behaviors, including exercise levels, sleep habits and diet. This suggests that these behaviors may, at least in part, explain the link. In other words, optimism may【C8】________good habits that bolster health. It is also important to note that the study found only a【C9】________. as researchers did not prove for certain that optimism leads to a longer life. However, if the findings are true, they suggest that optimism could serve as a psychological【C10】________that promotes health and a longer life.

选项
答案 C
解析 空格前为主语The researchers，空格后为that引导的从句。由此可知，空格处应填入一个动词。充当主句的谓语。下文提及，当他们把某些健康行为(包括锻炼水平、睡眠习惯和饮食)的影响考虑在内时，新研究发现的这种联系就没有那么强了。由此可知，这是研究人员“承认”的事实，备选动词conceded表示 “承认”，符合此处语境，故选C。
