问题 　　Many children’s hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aim to cheer up patients. But new research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , suggests that storytelling also has psychological benefits.
　　"【C1】_______________________"   said study co-author Dr. Jorge Moll,   of D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) , Brazil. But there was a lack of a solid scientific basis, especially with regard to underlying physiological mechanisms.
　　The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit at Rede D’Or Sao Luiz Jabaquara Hospital. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead.【C2】_______________________. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone Cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy.
　　Both groups of children benefited from the sessions: they all had less Cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva, suggesting they were less stressed, and they reported less pain and discomfort.【C3】_______________________.
　　At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-association exercise, which included words like "hospital" , "nurse" and "doctor". The team said that while children from the control group responded to the image of a hospital with " this is the place that people go when they are sick" , the storytelling group responded with "this is the place that people go to get better".
　　【C4】_______________________.
　　" As it is a low-cost and highly safe intervention, it can potentially be implemented in the entire
　　public system, once larger scale studies verify its reproducibility and effectiveness.【C5】_________" Moll added.
[A] I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in, due to its simplicity, rigour, and potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment, aiming at the relief of human suffering.
[B] Until now, the positive evidence for storytelling was based on common sense and taken at face value, in which interacting with the child may distract, entertain and alleviate psychological suffering.
[C] Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level.
[D] Similarly, children from the control group said " this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection" in response to a doctor or nurse, whereas the storytelling group said " this is the woman who comes to heal me".
[E] During the sessions, all the children in the study had increased levels of oxytocin after listening to stories.
[F] However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group than the control group.
[G]We intend to extend and replicate it in other settings and patient groups and to support volunteering dedicated to the noble activity of storytelling, now with more solid scientific evidence.

选项
答案[C]
解析 由本题之前提到的内容可知，此段主要介绍该研究进行的过程。其中the team“该研究小组”、sessions“治疗期”、saliva samples“唾液样本”都是选项C中的原词复现：此外本题之后提到“The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels 0fthehormone cortisol，which is related to stress”“通过唾液样本，研究人员可以测量与压力有关的皮质醇激素”，因此可知前句应该是对唾液样本进行提取，对应选项C中的the team took saliva samples from each child“研究小组从每名儿童身上提取唾液样本”，故本题选择选项C。
