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.
    A) adversely      I) indignantly
    B) amiably        J) insulation
    C) boost          K) lavish
    D) cognitive      L) prone
    E) compassion     M) recurrent
    F) connected      N) signify
    G) correlation    O) surpass
    H) fascinated [br] 【C8】
选项
答案 D
解析 空格所在处是一个介词短语 from self-awareness-based________therapy，其中self-awareness-based和空格处所填词都用来修饰名词therapy“治疗，疗法”，故空格处最有可能是名词或形容词。cognitive therapy是一个专业术语，意思是“认知疗法”，符合语境，故D项cognitive为答案。
