"Unexpectedly. men told their coffee ’contained caffeine, which enhances performance’ had higher heart rates and used less【C17】______coping strategies— that is showed more stress. " say the pair.
They add that caffeine’s effects on men may be worse because men may feel more【C18】______or challenged by some tasks than women. and caffeine【C19】______their stress.
St Claire warns against people being "tempted into having extra coffee". "And if you are【C20】______a business meeting, go a bit easy on the percolator(煮. 咖啡壶), or you might actually find weird things going wrong from your attempt at hospitality, " she adds. [br] 【C20】
