问题     Thinking kind thoughts about yourself and your loved ones can prove beneficial for your overall wellbeing, empirical evidence has shown. Researchers carried out an investigation to explore the【C1】________between having kind thoughts and a person’s psychological state.
    For the study, five groups of participants were presented with a different set of audio instructions, some of which encouraged the participants to think【C2】________about themselves and others which persuaded them to think in a self-critical manner. After listening to the audio instructions, the participants were asked to answer a series of questions. These included whether they felt agitated, how likely they were to show kindness to themselves and how【C3】________they felt to other individuals.
    The participants who were instructed to think kindly about themselves were more likely to exhibit a bodily response associated with being relaxed and feeling safe. Their heart rates also dropped, which is a healthy sign of a heart that can respond flexibly to situations. Yet,【C4】________, those who listened to the critical audio clips were noted as having a higher heart rate and sweat response afterwards, both of which【C5】________feelings of threat and distress.
    Having the ability to switch off the body’s natural threat response can【C6】________a person’s immune system. This, in turn, gives them a greater likelihood of recovering quickly from illness. These findings help us to further understand some of our clinical trials research findings, where we show that individuals with【C7】________depression benefit particularly from self-awareness-based【C8】________therapy. They essentially learn to become more sympathetic to themselves.
    The sense is that for people【C9】________to depression, meeting their negative thoughts and feelings with【C10】________is a radically different way; that these thoughts are not facts. It introduces a different way of being and knowing that is quite transformative for many people.

选项
答案 N
解析 动词辨析题。空格所在句是一个定语从句，先行词是 a higher heart rate and sweat response，关系词which后缺少谓语，因此空格处应为动词。本句意思是“听了批判性音频片段的人被发现心率加快，并在随后出现出汗反应，这两种反应都意味着威胁和痛苦的感觉。”故N项signify“意味着”为答案。
