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] 【C10】
选项 A、invariably
B、ultimately
C、seemingly
D、barely
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。空前的that引导定语从句修饰immuno-transmitters，说明immuno-transmitters的作用，[B]ultimately意为“最后，终于”，用在此处是说，消极的情感还会促使我们身体少产生最终用来抵抗疾病的免疫传递素，故答案为[B]。[A]invariably意为“不变的，始终如一的”；[C]seemingly意为“表面上，看上去”；[D]barely意为“仅仅，只不过”。
