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.
【C14】

选项 A、appeals
B、advertisements
C、information
D、commercials

答案A

解析 这里提到有的信息是定制的有关个人经历的信息,还有一些是普通的禁烟信息,即对禁烟的呼吁,故选择A项appeals“呼吁”。B项advertisements“广告”,广告多有劝诱消费之意,根据空格前的antismoking“禁烟”,可排除此项。C项information“信息;资料”范围较广,通常可查阅,而禁烟信息则非常简短,故不选。D项commercials“(电台或电视播放的)广告”,文章中说的是屏幕出现的信息,并非广告。
