问题     By now, how the immune system is affected by stress has been well-documented. In one study【C1】______newlywed couples, for example, those who showed【C2】______behavior during a 30-minute discussion about marriage problems had lower immune【C3】______for the 24-hour period following the experiment than people who showed less【C4】______behavior. It is not just stress that can do damage. One researcher thought that【C5】______the same cold virus was put【C6】______two different noses, the person who is depressed or anxious or pessimistic would be more likely to develop the cold.
    What is it about stress and related emotions【C7】______can encourage poor health? These feelings can cause the【C8】______of substances that damage or weaken our immune cells. Negative【C9】______can also cause our bodies to produce fewer immuno-transmitters that【C10】______help fight off disease.
    If stress, depression, anger and other negative feelings can make you more likely to get sick, can the【C11】______be true? Will you have a stronger immune【C12】______and greater health if you are happier, less stressed, and more【C13】______? Experts believe that the answer is yes. There are studies showing that by【C14】______certain mind-body techniques that help reduce stress and improve outlook, cancer patients can live longer.【C15】______cancer patients aren’t the only ones who can benefit.
    Research has found that when patients with chronic pain used【C16】______therapies and other behavioral technique to【C17】______discomfort, they reduced their visits to the doctors by 36%. Relaxation produces better health through deep, rhythmic breathing, muscle【C18】______. and a slower heart rate. When some of the tension is taken out of the body, the【C19】______is taken off the entire system. Relaxation decreases blood pressure and heart rate and increases one’s sense of well-being. That is important because a body that is【C20】______tense will eventually give out. [br] 【C2】
选项 A、opaque
B、generous
C、hostile
D、friendly
答案 C
解析 语义衔接题。空后的marriage problems和lower immune表明，这里说的应该是一种负面的行为，且该行为与婚姻有关，选项中的[C]hostile“敌对的”用在此处符合语义，故答案为[C]。[A]opaque“晦涩的”一般不与behavior搭配使用；[B]generous“慷慨的”和[D]friendly“友好的”与此处语义相反。
