问题     Optimists outlive pessimists, a new study shows. Of nearly 100,000 women【C1】______in the Women’s Health Initiative, those who gave【C2】______answers on a personality test were 9% less likely to【C3】______heart disease within eight years—and 14% less likely to【C4】______—than women who got low optimism【C5】______on the test.

That’s【C12】______makes the new study different "Taking into【C13】______income, education, health behaviors like blood pressure and whether or not you are【C14】______active, whether or not you drink or smoke, we still see optimists with a decreased risk of death compared to pessimists," says Dr. Hilary Tindle, lead author of the study. "I was surprised that the relationship was【C15】______of all of these factors."
    The study also found an interesting and【C16】______disturbing difference in the way that attitude is related to【C17】______for black women vs. white women.
    Pessimistic black women in the study were 33% more likely to have died after eight years than optimistic black women, while white pessimists were only 13% more likely to have died than their optimistic【C18】______The numbers in the study weren’t large enough to support any【C19】______explanations for this racial gap, but "there is definitely a suggestion that whites and blacks may be【C20】______in how optimism affects longevity," says Tindle.

选项 A、cost
B、stake
C、statue

答案D

解析 由空格前的such as可知,此处是对potentially confusing factors(容易混淆的因素)的举例,且空格处跟lifestyle(生活方式)并列,再结合下文的blood pressure(血压),可知此处指“健康状况”,选项中D项status代入,表示“健康状况”,符合要求。
