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.

    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.

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。
