问题     In 1970 psychologist Walter Mschel placed a cookie in front of a group of children and gave them a choice: they could eat the cookie immediately, or they could wait until he returned and then be rewarded with a second. Not surprisingly,【C1】______he left the room, many children ate the cookie almost【C2】______. A few of them, though,【C3】______eating the first cookie long enough to receive the second. Mischel【C4】______these children high-delay children.
    Interestingly, the children who were best able to delay satisfaction【C5】______did better in school than the children who could not—and, further,【C6】______up on average with SAT(美国大学标准入学考试) 【C7】______that were 210 points higher. In contrast, the children who had the most trouble【C8】______over satisfaction were more likely to struggle with drug and alcohol【C9】______.
    All this【C10】______that the ability to delay satisfaction may be one of the most important skills to learn to have a successful life. The question is, how do we【C11】______it?
    The answer may lie in the【C12】______Mischel’s high-delay children used. Rather【C13】______resist the urge to eat the cookie, these children distracted themselves from the【C14】______itself. They played with toys in the room, and looked everywhere【C15】______at the cookie.
    In other words, one of the most【C16】______ways to distract ourselves from a tempting pleasure we don’t want to【C17】______is by focusing on another pleasure. So the next time you find yourself【C18】______with a temptation, don’t【C19】______willpower to resist it. Send your attention somewhere else by imagining a different pleasure not immediately【C20】______to you. [br] 【C17】
选项 A、indulge
B、oblige
C、spoil
D、cater
答案 A
解析 动词辨义。此句意为“要将我们的注意力从某一我们不想沉溺其中的具有诱惑力的乐趣中分散转移开来”，indulge“沉溺，满足，放任”符合题意。oblige“迫使，强制”；spoil“溺爱，糟蹋”；cater“投合，迎合”，这三个动词均不符合文意，故排除。
