   Research has shown that—in both sexes and across numerous cultures—attractive people are judged to be smarter, kinder, more honest and 【C1】______.
   With some regularity we hear about the latest beauty contestant who has responded to a simple question with an epic fail of a mistake, a bizarre opinion or a (n)【C2】______ ramble (闲扯). Ridiculous. But what’s even more ridiculous is that our brains 【C3】______ us toward believing such people—just because they’re charming. The German poet Friedrich Schiller wrote, "Physical beauty is the 【C4】______ of an interior beauty, a spiritual and moral beauty." In politics, we are also more likely to believe and vote for people who are attractive. And when it comes to blind justice, numerous studies discovered that more attractive individuals are less likely to be 【C5】______ of crimes and, if so, receive shorter-than-average sentences for the crime.
   Why should this be? Some have suggested that since it is pleasurable to meet someone attractive and someone good and honest, we 【C6】______ merge the two. But this convergence (融合)of rewarding experiences seems 【C7】______.
   Work by two researchers in Duke University shows something more convincing: one part of the brain is 【C8】______ in rating both the beauty of a face and the goodness of a behavior, and the level of activity in that region during one of those tasks predicts the level during the other. In other words, the brain does similar things when contemplating beautiful minds, hearts or cheekbones. It’s a discouraging 【C9】______. But there’s also some good news in this story: The brain can get confused in both directions. That is to say, the same neural wiring that gives rise to "What is beautiful is good" also 【C10】______ "What is good is beautiful." [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 B
解析 空格前为名词短语our brains，空格后为代词us，that引导的表语从句中缺少谓语，故空格处需填入动词。由破折号后的原因状语从句“仅仅因为他们长相好看”可推测，大脑会让我们相信这些人，词库中的动词bias“使偏向”符合语义，故选B项。
