问题     By now, how the immune system is affected by stress has been well-documented. In one study【C1】______newlywed couples, for example, those who showed【C2】______behavior during a 30-minute discussion about marriage problems had lower immune【C3】______for the 24-hour period following the experiment than people who showed less【C4】______behavior. It is not just stress that can do damage. One researcher thought that【C5】______the same cold virus was put【C6】______two different noses, the person who is depressed or anxious or pessimistic would be more likely to develop the cold.
    What is it about stress and related emotions【C7】______can encourage poor health? These feelings can cause the【C8】______of substances that damage or weaken our immune cells. Negative【C9】______can also cause our bodies to produce fewer immuno-transmitters that【C10】______help fight off disease.
    If stress, depression, anger and other negative feelings can make you more likely to get sick, can the【C11】______be true? Will you have a stronger immune【C12】______and greater health if you are happier, less stressed, and more【C13】______? Experts believe that the answer is yes. There are studies showing that by【C14】______certain mind-body techniques that help reduce stress and improve outlook, cancer patients can live longer.【C15】______cancer patients aren’t the only ones who can benefit.

When some of the tension is taken out of the body, the【C19】______is taken off the entire system. Relaxation decreases blood pressure and heart rate and increases one’s sense of well-being. That is important because a body that is【C20】______tense will eventually give out. [br] 【C4】
选项 A、bland
B、negative
C、deadly
D、skeptical
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。本句是将两种人进行对比，than之前说的是在婚姻问题上有攻击性行为的人，由此可推知，than之后是对婚姻持积极态度的人。空前的less表明，本空应填一表示消极意义的词。[B]negative意为“否定的，消极的”，用在此处符合语义，故答案为[B]。[A]bland意为“枯燥乏味的”，[C]deadly意为“致命的”，[D]skeptical意为“怀疑的”，这三项虽然都是表消极意义的词，但都不能修饰空后的behavior，故排除。
