Some people are friendly drunks, whereas others are hostile, potentially posing a danger to themselves and others. The difference may【C1】______ in their ability to foresee the consequences of their actions, according to a recent study.
Brad Bushman, a psychologist at Ohio State University, and his colleagues asked nearly 500 volunteers to play a simple game. The【C2】______, an even mix of women and men, believed they were competing against an opponent to press a button as quickly as possible. In【C3】______, they were simply using a computer program that randomly decided whether they had won or lost. When they lost, they received a shock. When the "opponent" lost, the participant gave the shock and chose how long and【C4】______ it should be.
Before playing, the participants completed a survey designed to【C5】______ their general concern for the future consequences of their actions. Half the participants then received enough alcohol mixed with orange juice to make them legally drunk, and the other half received a drink with a very 【C6】______ amount of alcohol in it. Subjects who expressed little interest in consequences were more likely to administer longer, stronger shocks. In the sober group, they were slightly more aggressive than people who cared about consequences. When drunk,【C7】______, their aggressiveness was off the charts. "They are【C8】______ the most aggressive people in the study," Bushman says.
The good news is this trait can be changed. Michael McKloskey, a psychologist at Temple University, explains that if【C9】______ people can learn to see the situation more realistically, they’re able to stay calmer and develop a sense of【C10】______ over their consequences. [br] 【C9】

选项

答案 J

解析此处需填入形容词修饰people。根据后一句的they’re able to stay calmer“他们能够更冷静”，可知这类人需要保持冷静，故推断他们是冲动的人，词库中的impulsive“冲动的”符合逻辑。pessimistic“悲观的”与下文的stay calmer无法形成呼应，可排除。
