问题     A happy marriage apparently is good medicine, but hostile spouses may be harmful to one another’s health. Couples in conflict-ridden marriages take longer than the happily-married to heal from all kinds of wounds, from【B1】______scrapes or athletic injuries to major surgery, suggests a study over the weekend. And the health toll taken by a【B2】______job seems to be eased when the worker has a【B3】______home life. This new research, reported at an American Psychosomatic Society meeting, adds to growing evidence that marriage【B4】______health. In the wound-healing study, 32 couples agreed to let researchers use a suction device to create several minor blister wounds on their skin in two【B5】______about two months apart. The first time, couples were told to discuss a neutral topic; the next time they were given half an hour to resolve an issue or two on which they【B6】______. Their discussions were monitored. Researchers also checked participants’ wounds over the next few weeks and their production of three proteins created in wound healing. The【B7】______: "Even a simple discussion of a disagreement slows wound healing," says psychologist Janice Kiecolt Glaser, who did the study with co-author Ronald Glaser of Ohio State University College of Medicine. Overall, couples【B8】______heal when asked to discuss thoroughly and resolve points of conflict than neutral issues.【B9】______couples — peppering both discussions with criticism, sarcasm and put-downs — healed the slowest. It took them two fifths longer to heal, and they also produced less of the proteins【B10】______healing. These are minor wounds and brief, restrained encounters. Real-life marital conflict probably has a worse impact, Kiecolt Glaser adds. "Such stress before surgery matters greatly, and the effect could apply to healing from any injury," she says.
【B8】
选项
答案took longer to
解析 句中的than表明，本空应填一形容词的比较级形式。根据前文所述的研究可知，在asked to discuss thoroughly and resolve points of conflict这种情况下伤口愈合的速度要比asked to discuss neutral issues时慢，故所填词可能含有“花费时间更长”或“速度更慢”之意。took longer to意为“需要更长时间…”。
