问题     The happier you are, the better, right? Not necessarily. Studies show that there is a darker side to feeling good and that the【C1】________of happiness can sometimes make you less happy. Too much cheerfulness can make you deceivable, less successful—and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
    Happiness does have【C2】________It can protect us from stroke and from the common cold, makes us more【C3】________to pain and even【C4】________our lives. Yet, June Gruber, a psychologist warns that it’s important to experience positive moods in moderation. She compares happiness to food:【C5】________necessary and beneficial, too much food can cause problems;【C6】________, happiness can lead to bad outcomes. "Research indicates that very high levels of positive feelings【C7】________risk-taking behaviors, excess alcohol and drug consumption, overeating, and may lead us to【C8】________threats," she says.
    How else can excessive joy, or having lots of positive emotions and a relative absence of【C9】________ones, hurt you?
    First, it may【C10】________your career prospects. Psychologist Edward Diener, known for his happiness research, and his colleagues analyzed a variety of studies, and discovered that those who early in their lives reported the highest life【C11】________years later reported lower income than those who felt slightly less【C12】________when young. What’s more, they【C13】________school earlier.
    Included in the studies was one【C14】________a group of American college freshmen who in 1976 claimed to be very cheerful. Surveyed again when they were in their late 30s, they earned, on average, almost $3,500 a year less than their slightly less cheerful【C15】________. Why? Diener suggests that people who don’t experience much sadness or anxiety are【C16】________dissatisfied with their jobs and therefore feel less pressure to get more education or change careers.
    Psychologists point out that emotions are【C17】________: They make us change behavior to help us【C18】________. Anger prepares us to fight; fear helps us flee. But what about sadness? Studies show that when we are sad, we think in a more systematic manner. Sad people are attentive【C19】________details and externally oriented, while happy people【C20】________make snap judgments that may reflect racial or sex stereotyping.
【C4】
选项 A、saves
B、shortens
C、prolongs
D、spares
答案C
解析 此空格进一步承前说明快乐对生命的好处。C项prolongs“延长”代入句中指“延长寿命”。符合上下文意思。快乐能“拯救”(A项saves)性命的说法过于夸张，上下文也无相关语义线索。B项shortens“缩短”生命带否定意义，不符合快乐对生命有益的语义。D项spares和lives搭配表示“饶命”，语义与本主题无关。
