问题     Any American who has bought a pack of cigarettes since the mid-60s might have seen the health warnings. It says, "SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, And May Complicate Pregnancy." Such government warnings work,【C1】________— research has shown that smokers in countries with strong warnings know more about smoking【C2】________than those in countries where warnings are weaker. But it’s unclear whether smokers who see any warning【C3】________smoke less.
    Public-health advocates have known for years that individualized messages are far more【C4】________at getting smokers to stop. For instance,【C5】________a doctor reminds a patient that her sister has promised to help her【C6】________, that patient will be much more likely to stop smoking than someone who just sees a(n)【C7】________message on a cigarette pack. A recent study shows that tailored antismoking messages engage brain regions involved in how people see themselves. Those regions are associated with emotion【C8】________basic human awareness and, possibly, awareness of others’【C9】________of us.
    The authors of the study, a University of Michigan team led by psychologist Hannah Faye Chua,【C10】________91 smokers who wanted to quit. The participants, who smoked an average of 17 cigarettes per day,【C11】________medical imaging scans for one hour while different messages appeared on a screen. Some messages were tailored to their【C12】________histories (for example, " A concern you have is being tempted to smoke when【C13】________other smokers"). Some messages were general anti-smoking【C14】________.
    The researchers found that the tailored messages【C15】________the two brain regions significantly more than the non-tailored and【C16】________messages. In other words, reading a short sentence changed their brain activity—【C17】________those who showed stronger activity in those regions were more likely to quit smoking.
    The reason this paper is important is that it【C18】________a growing body of research showing that what is often mocked as  "talk therapy" can produce real changes in brain【C19】________. If you really want to quit smoking, you should commit to a(n)【C20】________behavioral-therapy program. It will not only help you stop; it could change how your brain works.
【C13】

选项 A、without
B、between
C、around
D、upon

答案C

解析 根据空格前的being tempted to smoke(受到诱惑而吸烟),和空格后的other smokers(其他吸烟者),可以推测这个人担忧的是与其他吸烟者一起的时候会受到诱惑而吸烟,故选C项among“与……在一起”。A项without“无,没有”,如果没有其他吸烟者,就不用担心受到诱惑而吸烟了。B项between表示两者之间,other smokers(其他吸烟者)不会只有2个人。D项upon表示方位“在……之上”,后面不能接入。
