    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 【C1】______ that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive 【C2】______ 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 【C3】______ low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not 【C4】______ understood. Taste didn’t come into it; neither did pleasure. "The cues I used did not change people’s 【C5】______," says lead author Juliano Laran, a University of Miami marketing professor who 【C6】______ in consumer psychology and self-control , "and I specifically found that people were not looking for pleasure, but rather for food items that can 【C7】______ 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 【C8】______ the consumption of high-calorie food.

选项
答案 E
解析 根据句子结构可知，low-calorie food前面缺少一个形容词作定语。结合空格处的句意“与控制组人群相比，那些接触到如‘不幸’、‘遭受（痛苦）’和‘挣扎’这些表示艰难时期的词汇的人，被提示去吃更多高卡路里的食物和——低卡路里的食物”，该句中有两个表示对比关系的名词短语，即more high-calorie food and ______ low-calorie food，而与more“较多的”意思相反的形容词就是less“较少的”，故E项为答案。
