问题     College students are more stressed out than ever before—at least according to the latest findings of a large, national survey that has been conducted annually for the last 25 years. The survey includes more than 200,000 students【C1】________nearly 300 colleges and asks them to【C2】________how their own mental health【C3】________their classmates’—for example, is it "above average" or in the "highest 10%"?
    This【C4】________unusual methodology typically results in the statistical Lake Woebegon effect in which most people【C5】________to overestimate themselves in relation to others (it refers to the fictional Lake Woebegon, where "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average").【C6】________the most recent results indicate that fewer and fewer freshmen feel like they are in top form in terms of【C7】________stress.
    So what’s going on? Obviously, the economy and high unemployment might【C8】________the increase in stress. A much more precise large study recently found that empathy【C9】________college students had declined 40% since 2000—and since caring relationships are【C10】________to mental (and physical) health, a decline in empathy could also produce a decline in mental health and coping.
    My final point brings us back to my earlier post on a Stanford study that looked at the psychological【C11】________of comparing ourselves to others. It found that the way people are incline to【C12】________their negative emotions while broadcasting their happy ones makes the rest of us feel somehow "less than"—【C13】________all our friends and neighbors have better lives than we【C14】________.
    This【C15】________, too, might tie into why the new survey, "The American Freshman: National Norms, Fall 2011," found that students are feeling less【C16】________about their level of emotional and mental stability. If all the students around you are desperately trying to【C17】________a happy face—and you【C18】________that face as a true reflection of their【C19】________selves, even as you work to hide your own【C20】________—well, it’s not surprising that so many students might be getting a bit strained.
【C11】

选项 A、issues
B、effects
C、efforts
D、efficiencies

答案B

解析 根据空格后的comparing ourselves to others(把自己与其他人相比较),可以联系到第二段沃博艮湖效应:大多数人跟别人相比时会高估自己。这其实是一种心理效应,故此处应选B项effects,指某种行为、步骤、事件等直接产生的结果或效果。A项issues“问题”,将自己与他人比较并不属于心理问题。C项efforts“努力”及D项efficiencies“效率”与psychological无法搭配。
