问题     " 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
[E]lecturer[F]comfort[G]re-engage[H]bored
[I]naturally[J]associated[K]constructive[L]consciously
[M]anxious[N]cooperated[O]re - employ
【B10】
选项
答案G
解析 空前的不定式符合提示所填词应为动词原形。so that引导表目的的从句，说明conserve energy是when we want to…的条件．一该句大意为“如果没有值得做的事情，我们可以节省精力。所以，在我们需要精力做事的时候，我们可以…”。备选项中的动词原形符合句意的只有[G]re—engage(重新使用)。[O]re—employ(重新雇用)明显不符合句意．故可排除。
