   Strong emotional bonds between mothers and infants increase children’s willingness to explore the world—an effect that has been observed across the animal kingdom, in people, monkeys and even spiders. The more secure we are in our 【C1】______ to Mom, the more likely we are to try new things and take risks. Now researchers are discovering that this effect 【C2】______ into adulthood. A 【C3】______ reminder of Mom’s touch or the sound of her voice on the phone is enough to change people’s minds and moods, 【C4】______their decision making in measurable ways.
   In a study published online in April in Psychological Science, undergraduate business students had to choose between safe bets and risky gambles—a bond with a guaranteed 4 percent yearly return or a riskier stock option, for example. In half the cases, the experimenters patted the students  【C5】______ on the back of the shoulder for about one second while providing verbal instructions about the study. Both male and female students who were touched by a female experimenter were far more likely to choose the risky 【C6】______ than were those who had not been touched or were patted by male experimenters. Researchers say the reassuring touch of a woman may have 【C7】______ early associations, inspiring the same openness to exploration.
   To 【C8】______ confirm that a woman’s touch links feelings of security with risk taking, the researchers asked a different group of undergraduates to make financial decisions after a writing exercise. Half of them wrote about a time they felt secure and supported, whereas the other half wrote about feeling insecure and alone. Evoking a 【C9】______ of insecurity made students in the latter group especially receptive to the gentle shoulder pats from female experimenters and much more 【C10】______ to take a risk. [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 K
解析 空格位于不定冠词a和名词reminder之间，空格处可填入形容词或分词。此句进一步说明妈妈的影响。touch or the sound of her voice．．．is enough提示，哪怕回想起一个细微的动作，如妈妈的轻抚或妈妈电话里的声音，就能改变想法和心情，mere“仅仅的，只不过的”符合语境，故K正确。
