问题     Research has shown that—in both sexes and across numerous cultures—attractive people are judged to be smarter, kinder, more honest and【C1】______.
    With some regularity we hear about the latest beauty contestant who has【C2】______to a softball of a question with an epic fail of a mistake, a 【C3】______opinion or an incoherent ramble.
    Ridiculous. But what’s even more ridiculous is that our brains【C4】______us toward believing such people—just because they’re【C5】______.
    In politics, we are also more likely to believe and vote【C6】______people who are attractive. And when it comes to blind【C7】______, numerous studies discovered that more-attractive individuals are less likely to be【C8】______of crimes and, if so, 【C9】______shorter-than-average sentences for the crime.
    Why should this be? Some have【C10】______that since it is pleasurable to meet someone attractive and someone good and honest, we【C11】______merge the two. But this convergence (the occurrence of two or more things coming together) of rewarding experiences seems【C12】______ .
    Work by two researchers in Duke University【C13】______something more convincing: one part of the brain is involved in rating both the【C14】______of a face and the goodness of a behavior, and the level of activity in that【C15】______during one of those tasks predicts the level during the other.
    【C16】______, the brain does similar things when【C17】______beautiful minds, hearts or cheekbones.
    It’s a【C18】______finding. But there’s also some good news in this story: The brain can get confused in【C19】______directions. That is to say, the same neural wiring that gives【C20】______to "What is beautiful is good" also generates "What is good is beautiful."
【C18】
选项 A、discouraging
B、fascinating
C、tiring
D、scaring
答案A
解析 下句转折连词But提示本空所缺之词与下句的good相对。结合上文提及的发现(人们容易产生“美即是善”的看法)是容易让人产生偏见的可知，与good news具有相对语义的discourage(令人气馁的)finding符合要求，故选A。
