The smallest words in our vocabulary often reveal the most about us, including honesty and thinking style. Stop and think about your most recent conversation, email or text【C1】______. Perhaps you think you said something about dinner plans, domestic【C2】______or work. And you probably did. But you said much more. The precise words you used【C3】______more about you than you can imagine.
Hidden inside language are small, stealthy words that can reveal much about your personality, thinking style, emotional【C4】______and connections with others. These words【C5】______ less than 0.1 percent of your vocabulary but make up more than half of the words commonly used. Your brain is not wired to notice them【C6】______if you pay close attention, you will start to see their【C7】______ power.
My interest【C8】______these words came about almost accidentally. In the early 1980s, I stumbled on a finding that【C9】______me. People who reported not having a heartbreaking experience and who kept the experience a secret had far more health problems than people who talked【C10】______. Why would keeping a secret be so【C11】______? If you asked people to write about their secrets, would their health【C12】______? The answer, I soon discovered, was yes.
As part of this work, we【C13】______ a computer program to analyse the language people used when they wrote about traumas. We made【C14】______ discoveries using this tool, such as the value of using words associated with positive emotions. However, our most【C15】______discovery was not about the content of people’s writing but the【C16】______. In particular, we found that the use of pronouns—I, me, we, she, they【C17】______enormously. The more people changed from using first-person【C18】______ pronouns(I, me, my)to【C19】______other pronouns(we, you, she, they)from one piece of writing to the next, the better their health became. Their word use【C20】______ their psychological state. [br] 【C7】
选项
A、complicated
B、complex
C、exquisite
D、subtle
答案
D
解析
形容词辨析题。根据文中多次给出的信息可知,这些词的使用所产生的影响力是不明显、不易察觉的。subtle有“微妙的,难以察觉的”之意。complicated和complex更强调“复杂的,难以理解的”,而exquisite指“精致的,精巧的,精美的”,故均排除。
