The findings challenge Public Health England and the World Health Organization’s endorsement of household chores(家庭杂务)as a【C1】______contribution towards a recommended target of 150 minutes of physical activity a week.
    The study, carried out by Professor Marie Murphy and her colleagues at the University of Ulster, found that women and older people were particularly likely to list domestic physical activity as a significant【C2】______of their moderate to vigorous physical activity. But the study found that those who said they did the most were also the largest. Murphy said: "We found housework was inversely(相反地) 【C3】______to leanness, which suggests that either people are overestimating the amount of moderate-intensity physical activity they do through housework or are eating too much to【C4】______for the amount of activity undertaken. "
    Kevin Fenton, director of health and wellbeing at Public Health England, suggested the study could【C5】______evidence that some people thought they were healthier than they actually were. "At an individual level there may be a【C6】______to overestimate the level of ’good behavior’ we’re doing and this is reflected when people use food diaries, pedometers or apps to measure more【C7】______what they have achieved. This study may reflect this," he said. But he【C8】______everyday tasks as genuinely useful. He added: "From an individual【C9】______, physical activities such as housework, doing the shopping and walking to collect children from school or to post a letter, can have positive【C10】______on physical and mental wellbeing.

A)ambition F)intelligible K)reinforce
B)barren G)objectively L)related
C)compensate H)perspective M)scandals
D)defended I)probably N)tendency

选项
答案 N
解析 名词辨析题。空格前面有不定冠词a，后面有不定式符号to，故确定此处应填入名词。根据上下文可知，此处应该指人们存在着高估“健康行为”的程度的倾向。tendency符合句意的要求，而且能够构成固定搭配a tendency to do sth．(做某事的趋向)。
