问题     A happy marriage apparently is good medicine, but hostile spouses may be harmful to one another’s health. Couples in conflict-ridden marriages take longer than the happily-married to heal from all kinds of wounds, from【B1】______scrapes or athletic injuries to major surgery, suggests a study over the weekend. And the health toll taken by a【B2】______job seems to be eased when the worker has a【B3】______home life. This new research, reported at an American Psychosomatic Society meeting, adds to growing evidence that marriage【B4】______health. In the wound-healing study, 32 couples agreed to let researchers use a suction device to create several minor blister wounds on their skin in two【B5】______about two months apart. The first time, couples were told to discuss a neutral topic; the next time they were given half an hour to resolve an issue or two on which they【B6】______. Their discussions were monitored. Researchers also checked participants’ wounds over the next few weeks and their production of three proteins created in wound healing. The【B7】______: "Even a simple discussion of a disagreement slows wound healing," says psychologist Janice Kiecolt Glaser, who did the study with co-author Ronald Glaser of Ohio State University College of Medicine. Overall, couples【B8】______heal when asked to discuss thoroughly and resolve points of conflict than neutral issues.【B9】______couples — peppering both discussions with criticism, sarcasm and put-downs — healed the slowest. It took them two fifths longer to heal, and they also produced less of the proteins【B10】______healing. These are minor wounds and brief, restrained encounters. Real-life marital conflict probably has a worse impact, Kiecolt Glaser adds. "Such stress before surgery matters greatly, and the effect could apply to healing from any injury," she says. [br] 【B1】
选项
答案 minor
解析 空后的scrapes表明，本空应填一形容词。在根据句中的all kinds of wounds以及from…to…结构可以推断，此处可能是说“从‘小的’擦伤和运动损伤到大手术”。minor意为“较小的”，与to后的major相对应。
