   Strong emotional bonds between mothers and infants increase children’s willingness to explore the world—an effect that has been observed across the animal kingdom, in people, monkeys and even spiders. The more secure we are in our 【C1】______ to Mom, the more likely we are to try new things and take risks. Now researchers are discovering that this effect 【C2】______ into adulthood. A 【C3】______ reminder of Mom’s touch or the sound of her voice on the phone is enough to change people’s minds and moods, 【C4】______their decision making in measurable ways.
   In a study published online in April in Psychological Science, undergraduate business students had to choose between safe bets and risky gambles—a bond with a guaranteed 4 percent yearly return or a riskier stock option, for example. In half the cases, the experimenters patted the students  【C5】______ on the back of the shoulder for about one second while providing verbal instructions about the study. Both male and female students who were touched by a female experimenter were far more likely to choose the risky 【C6】______ than were those who had not been touched or were patted by male experimenters. Researchers say the reassuring touch of a woman may have 【C7】______ early associations, inspiring the same openness to exploration.
   To 【C8】______ confirm that a woman’s touch links feelings of security with risk taking, the researchers asked a different group of undergraduates to make financial decisions after a writing exercise. Half of them wrote about a time they felt secure and supported, whereas the other half wrote about feeling insecure and alone. Evoking a 【C9】______ of insecurity made students in the latter group especially receptive to the gentle shoulder pats from female experimenters and much more 【C10】______ to take a risk. [br] 【C2】

选项

答案 D

解析 空格所在that宾语从句缺谓语,且句子陈述研究发现的客观事实,主语为this effect,故空格填入动词的第三人称单数形式,词库中continues和ties在语法上符合要求。上文提到母婴关系对孩童的影响,由空格后的into adulthood可推知,母婴关系的影响会持续到成年时期,continues“继续,延续”符合文意,故选D项。tie常与介词to搭配,但填入句中,语义不通顺,故排除。
