A team of neuroscientists at New York University say that their findings suggest that certain【C1】______that teach people how to better control their emotions—such as those used to treat social anxiety and phobias— may not work as well during stressful situations.

"In other words, what you learn in the clinic may not be as【C4】______in the real world when you’re stressed."

These might include focusing on the positive or non-threatening aspects of an event or【C6】______that might normally produce fear.

Some of the pictures were paired with an electric shock, and participants【C8】______developed a fear of these pictures. The subjects "reported more【C9】______feelings of fear when viewing the pictures, compared with when they viewed images not paired with a shock."
    Next the participants were taught cognitive strategies, similar to those【C10】______by therapists and known as cognitive-behavioral therapy, to learn to diminish the fears brought on by the experiment.

【C3】
选项
答案A
解析 介词in提示空格处需填入名词。句中的designed to．．．为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰therapies。而这些疗法的目的在于帮助人们控制情绪，因此选check一词，keep emotions in check意为“控制情绪”。
