问题 The element of surprise has a big impact on how we feel from moment to moment. We’re happier when satisfied【C1】______instead of certain of a positive outcome in advance, according to a new mathematical model of happiness.
"【C2】______is not about how well you’re doing in general, but rather if you’re doing better than expected," said study author Robb Rutledge. For 【C3】______, you go to a restaurant where the food was the best you’ve ever had. According to the happiness model, you would actually be happier at the end of the meal if you had expected it to be just average, as【C4】______to assuming it would be as delicious as it was.
But this doesn’t mean that having low expectations is the path to happiness, because the model also shows that such 【C5】______thought leads to unpleasant feeling while you wait for an outcome. So if you make plans with an odd friend and【C6】______he’ll cancel, you’ll take a hit on your happiness in the meantime, even if he shows up on time.
On the other hand, imagine cheering for expectation about finally【C7】______concert tickets to see your favorite musician. "The whole day, you might be a little bit happier as a(n)43 ," Rutledge said, even if the performance eventually【C9】______and causes unhappiness later on. " Before you find out the outcome, you’ll be happier if your expectation is higher. "
Both degree of surprise and overall expectation play a part in determining our happy feeling, although Rutledge found that surprise【C10】______more.
A)closely I)obtaining
B)Consciousness J)opposed
C)containing K)pessimistic
D)disappoints L)result
E)distance M)significant
F)Happiness N)suppose
G)instance O)unexpectedly
H)mattered [br] 【C5】

选项

答案 K

解析空格位于such和名词thought之间，故应填入形容词修饰名词。根据第二段和第三段的例子可知，幸福模式表明：当你等待一个结果时，如此悲观的想法会引起不愉快的情绪，故空格处应填入pessimistic。备选的形容词中，significant“重要的”不符合文意，故排除。
