" Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain. "
The saying let us find【B1】______in these words as we struggle to keep ourselves entertained on the condition of boredom.
An academic has set out to prove that boredom—far from being a bad thing—is a【B2】______occurring emotion that should not be suppressed. Dr Richard Ralley, a psychology【B3】______at Edge Hill College in Orm-skirk, Lancashire, has begun a study of boredom.
He said: " Boredom can be a good thing. In psychology we think of emotion as being【B4】______Fear, anger and jealousy all serve a purpose but they’re painted in a bad light even though they exist for a reason. It’s the same with boredom, which also has a bad【B5】______.
We get【B6】______because we get sick when we have nothing to do and feel the need to be productive. We feel bad when we’re not【B7】______and that’s what boredom is【B8】______with.
Boredom is something: it’s not just【B9】______off. It can be useful. When there’s nothing rewarding going on we conserve energy, so that when we want to【B10】______we can. There’s a balance between doing something that’s rewarding and doing something that’s rewarding but not being happy about doing it.
Boredom is natural. You needn’t force yourself to avoid having it. You can control it in a way that can get yourself to do something challenging. It is natural, so let’s deal with it.
[A]switching[B]productive[C]name[D]functional

[I]naturally[J]associated[K]constructive[L]consciously
[M]anxious[N]cooperated[O]re - employ
【B4】
选项
答案
D
解析
空前系动词提示所填词可能为形容词或动词的分词形式。下句中的fear,anger,jealousy都属于emotion的范畴,所以所填词的含义应与下句中的serve a purpose相近,备选项中只有形容词[D]functional(有作用的)符合要求,故为答案。
