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.
【B1】

选项

答案minor

解析 空后的scrapes表明,本空应填一形容词。在根据句中的all kinds of wounds以及from…to…结构可以推断,此处可能是说“从‘小的’擦伤和运动损伤到大手术”。minor意为“较小的”,与to后的major相对应。
