问题     Academy Award nominees who go home empty-handed may not have a shiny Oscar to show off, but they may turn out to be the bigger winners in the game of life.
    According to a study published in British Medical Journal on December 21, Oscar-winning screenwriters are more successful, more productive, and more【C1】______than losing nominees; however, they die sooner by about four years.
    Because success is usually linked to better health, "this is the first【C2】______ever that success is not associated with improved【C3】______," says Donald Redelmeier, lead author of the study.
    Researchers【C4】______down information about every person who was ever nominated for an Oscar since the awards were first handed out 73 years ago.
    To explain the【C5】______findings, he offers two theories. The first is the "work-to-death hypothesis."
    According to Redelmeier, screenwriters are more【C6】______to lead unhealthy lifestyles, meaning they smoke more, exercise less, and work a lot of late-night hours, which translates into not enough sleep.
    Screenwriters don’t have a boss to report to, which brings into【C7】______Redelmeier’s second explanation, the "party-hearty hypothesis."
    "When you become a successful screenwriter, you gain status without daily accountability, and as a【C8】______your success may lead you to more alcohol, more parties, and more obesity," he says.
    Redelmeier hopes his study will【C9】______how important it is to lead a healthy lifestyle.
    "The bottom line," he says, "is that greater success may【C10】______lead to worse health if people fail to look after themselves."
    A longevity B. flourish C. apt D. sometimes
    E. tracked F. respected G. account H. miracle
    I. occupation J. puzzling K. stress L. consequence
    M. internal N. fairly O. restrained [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 K
解析 此处应该是及物动词原形作谓语。根据上下文，Redelmeier的研究是为了说明或强调健康生活模式的重要性，在动词词库中，account虽也有“说明”之义，但它是不及物动词，需与for一起连用，因此只有stress一词最合适。
