    Australian National University researchers looked at how various psychosocial work attributes affect(6)______.

选项 A、fitness
B、health
C、well-being
D、soundness
答案 C
解析 词义辨析题。上一段末尾提到差的工作对人精神健康的影响。所以此处应该选一个跟精神状态有关的词。所以选C项，表示“健康、幸福等的状态”。fitness尤指因锻炼和合适营养造成的生理上的健康状况，与此处语境不符；health可以指生理和心理健康，用于此处不如well-being准确到位，所以也可排除；soundness“健全，完好”，这个讨论的不是精神是否健全，而是是否幸福，所以与语境不符。
