问题 The smallest words in our vocabulary often reveal the most about us, including honesty and thinking style. Stop and think about your most recent conversation, email or text【C1】______. Perhaps you think you said something about dinner plans, domestic【C2】______or work. And you probably did. But you said much more.

Hidden inside language are small, stealthy words that can reveal much about your personality, thinking style, emotional【C4】______and connections with others.

As part of this work, we【C13】______ a computer program to analyse the language people used when they wrote about traumas.

The more people changed from using first-person【C18】______ pronouns(I, me, my)to【C19】______other pronouns(we, you, she, they)from one piece of writing to the next, the better their health became. Their word use【C20】______ their psychological state. [br] 【C18】
