问题     People who are too happy die younger than their more downbeat peers, claims new research.
    A study which followed children from the 1920s to old age showed that people who were【C1】______"highly cheerful" by teachers at school died younger than their more【C2】______classmates.
    This was because people who were too happy were more likely to suffer from mental【C3】______such as bipolar(两极情感障碍), making them【C4】______fearful and more likely to take risks that increase the chance of having a(n) 【C5】______accident.
    Many researchers from a【C6】______of universities worldwide also discovered that trying too hard to be happy often ended【C7】______leaving people feeling more depressed.
    And magazine articles offering【C8】______on how to be happy were also blamed for【C9】______depression.
    One study saw participants follow one of the tips to see how【C10】______it was.
    Participants then took the advice offered—such as watching an upbeat film—often concentrated too hard【C11】______trying to improve their mood【C12】______than letting it lift naturally.
    This meant that【C13】______the time the film had ended, they often felt angry and cheated by the advice given, putting them in a【C14】______worse mood than when they had started watching.
    【C15】______, results of the study, published in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science,【C16】______that the key to true happiness was much more simple:【C17】______relationships with friends and family members.
    The strongest【C18】______of happiness is not money, or【C19】______recognition through success or fame. It’s having worthwhile social relationships. That means the best way to increase your happiness is to stop worrying about being happy and instead【C20】______your energy into nurturing(lie social bonds you have with other people. [br] 【C9】
选项 A、relieving
B、suffering
C、improving
D、worsening
答案 D
解析 考查动词辨析。relieve“缓解”；suffer“遭受”；improve表示“提高”；worsen“恶化”。由空前的blame“责备”一词可知．这些让人高兴起来的建议更加重了抑郁，故选D。
