问题    It has long been known that high-calorie food can act as a balm (镇痛软膏) for anxiety and bad moods, but now a series of new studies published in Psychological Science【D1】______that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive【D2】______in the world.
   In one of the experiments, people who were exposed to words suggesting tough times, like "disaster", "suffer" and "struggle", were prompted to eat more high-calorie food and【D3】______low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not【D4】______understood. Taste didn’t come into it: neither did pleasure. "The cues I used did not change people’s【D5】______," says lead author Juliano Laran, a University of Miami marketing professor who【D6】______in consumer psychology and self-control, "and I specifically found that people were not looking for pleasure, but rather for food items that can【D7】______them fed for longer periods of time."
   The inspiration for the studies came from New York City’s policy of posting calorie counts in restaurants, which Laran noticed did nothing to【D8】______the consumption of high-calorie food. "This signaled," he says, "that misinformation was not the【D9】______issue, that there was something else【D10】______on."
A) decrease F) main K) psychological
B) directly G) mind L) specializes
C) going H) mood M) succeeds
D) keep I) occasionally N) suggests
E) less J) pleasure O) trouble [br] 【D10】
选项
答案 C
解析 空格处应该与介词on构成短语作后置定语，修饰前面的something else，因此应填入一个动词的分词形式。结合上文意思，由于去餐馆就餐的顾客没有注意到张贴在餐馆里的卡路里量计算表，因此，这项旨在减少人们对高热量食物消耗的政策就没有起到作用。而空格所在处句意为“这说明错误信息不是主要问题，一定还有别的事情在发生”，备选动词中只有going符合句意，因此C)为答案。
