问题    For many people, emotions are a scary thing. 【C1】______of the problem is that we just don’t know what to do with them, according to Darlene Mininni, Ph. D, author of The Emotional Toolkit. So we adopt the only strategies we【C2】______know. If you’re a man, you might distract yourself【C3】______playing video games, tinkering with your tools or drinking alcohol, she said. If you’re a woman, you might shop or eat. 【C4】______to these tools occasionally is OK, Mininni said. Making them part of your regular coping repertoire, however, is problematic.
   Emotions are valuable, and【C5】______a bounty of benefits. Emotions send us important messages and help us connect with others and accomplish great things, Mininni said. Using【C6】______strategies, however, can sabotage our relationships, job and even our health, Mininni said. In fact, people who handle stress effectively have healthier immune systems, don’t get sick as often and age【C7】______16 years more slowly than people who don’t.
   There’s actually【C8】______consensus on what an emotion is, and scientists may have various interpretations. Mininni【C9】______emotions as a "full-body experience," an interplay between our thoughts and physical sensations. For instance, a kind of giddy happiness and anxiety have the same sensations, such as tight muscles and a【C10】______heart. What determines whether we feel happy or anxious are our thoughts. Mininni said that all emotions【C11】______into these categories: anxiety, sadness, anger and happiness. In order to identify the【C12】______of your emotion, ask yourself these questions:
   Anxiety: What am I afraid of? Sadness; What have I lost? Anger: How have I or my values been attacked? Happiness; What have I gained?
   Once you’ve identified your emotional state, the last step is to take【C13】______. Ask yourself if there’s anything you can do to solve the situation, Mininni said. If there is, consider what you can do. If there’s【C14】______you can do, determine how you can cope with the emotion, she said. Mininni suggested meditating, getting social support, writing, exercising and seeking therapy.
   Think of these strategies as an emotional toolkit. You simply【C15】______your kit, and pick out the healthy tool you need, Mininni said. In fact, you can create an real toolkit, and pack it with【C16】______items such as sneakers, your journal, funny films, favorite books and a list of people you’d like to call when you’re【C17】______. The strategies that work best will【C18】______with each person, depending on your personality, physiology and other individual factors, Mininni said. For some people, running works wonders in alleviating anxiety. For others, meditation is【C19】______.
   Emotions may seem confusing and threatening but applying the above practical and clear-cut approach reveals emotions for【C20】______they really are; useful, informative and far from murky.
【C16】
选项 A、comforting
B、comforted
C、comfortable
D、comfort
答案A
解析 词汇辨析题。如果说把一些方法视为抽象版的工具的话，那么手可触碰到的物体就是不折不扣的工具了。在这个real toolkit里，作者建议装进能够缓解压力、放松心情的各种物品。[A]comforting是现在分词，可作定语，意思是“让……受到安慰的；使……放松心情的”，偏向于精神层面；[B]comforted是过去分词，可作定语，意思是“受到安慰的”；[C]comfortable是形容词，常与bed；bedroom；clothes；seat；shoes等用品连用，意思是“(穿／住／用起来很)舒适的”，偏向于物质层面；[D]comfort可用作名词性定语，除了极个别的历史学术语外，只用于短语comfort food，意思是“让人心情愉悦的食物”。通过辨析可知，正确答案是[A]comforting。
