" If you can’t say something good about someone, sit right here by me," Alice Roosevelt Longworth, a self-proclaimed "hedonist," used to say. But it seems the greater pleasure comes from more【B1】______gossip.
New research finds that gossiping can be good for you【B2】______you have something nice to say. In a presentation in September, Jennifer Cole, a social psychologist, reported results【B3】______two related studies, both of which【B4】______that it’s in one’s self-interest to say " So-and-so’s second husband is【B5】______" rather than "She married that idiot?"
In the first study,【B6】______to measure a person’s short-term emotional【B7】______to gossiping, 140 men and women,【B8】______undergraduates, were asked to talk about a fictional person either positively or negatively.
The second study, which looked【B9】______the long-term effects of gossiping on well-being, had 160 participants, mostly female undergrads, fill out questionnaires about their【B10】______to gossip, their self-esteem and their【B11】______social support.
According to Dr. Cole, after speaking kindly of others, positive emotions increased【B12】______three percent, negative emotions were【B13】______six percent, and self-esteem rose five percent. These are not【B14】______numbers, as Cole is the first to admit. But it’s【B15】______one of the few times researchers have【B16】______anything beneficial to the silly art of gossip.
And there was one【B17】______positive result: whether kind or cruel, gossip was【B18】______with a greater sense of social support for the perpetuator. But does tittle-tattle really help【B19】______more friends? " It could be that people who gossip a lot think they have social support, but they don’t actually," Cole said, noting that previous research shows people【B20】______to dislike and mistrust gossips.
【B16】
选项
A、linked
B、attributed
C、pointed
D、reconciled
答案
B
解析
动词辨析题。根据空格所在段的段首所述,在说完好话之后,人们的正面情感会增加,负面情感会减少,这显然是有益的,并且它们都是说闲话的结果。因此,所选动词的词义应可表达因果关系。此外,该动词与介词to搭配。首先可排除[D]reconcile“使一致,和谐”,该词在连接两个事物时,只能与介词with搭配。而[C]point与to连接,表示“指向……”,与原文语义不符合,也应排除。[A]linked与to连接,在表示“与……连接”时,应与介词with搭配,故排除。动词attribute与to搭配,表示“将……归因于……”,符合原文语义,故答案为[B]。
