If you can’t resist the chance to put on a bet, blame your insula—a region of your brain. Scientists think that when this brain area is overactive, the heart rules our head and we can’t help but【C1】________our losses.
The Cambridge University researchers said: "Future treatments for gambling addiction could seek to reduce this overactivity, either by drugs or psychological techniques." The researchers made the【C2】________after asking people with various brain injuries and healthy people play slot machine and roulette (a gambling game).
A near miss on the slot machines made the players,【C3】________those with the damaged insulas, extra-keen to try their luck again.【C4】________, all of the players, apart from those with faulty insulas, made a【C5】________mistake when playing roulette. Dr Luke Clark from the University of Cambridge, who led the research, explained that during gambling games, people often【C6】________their chances of winning【C7】________a number of errors of thinking called【C8】________distortions. For example, ’near-misses’ seem to encourage further play,【C9】________they are no different from any other loss. In a【C10】________sequence like tossing a coin, a【C11】________of one event (heads) makes people think the other【C12】________(tails) is due next; this is known as the ’gambler’s fallacy’.
There is increasing【C13】________that problem gamblers are particularly prone to these erroneous beliefs. By studying these people, the researchers found that all of them—【C14】________the exception of the patients with insula damage—reported a【C15】________motivation to play following near-misses in the slot machine game, and also fell【C16】________to the gambler’s fallacy in the roulette game.
The finding, which is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that the insula, which is【C17】________in gut feelings and decision-making, is key to the psychology of gambling. "Based on these results, we【C18】________that the insula could be overactive in problem gamblers, making them more【C19】________to these errors of thinking," said Dr Clarke. "Future treatments for gambling addiction could seek to reduce this overactivity, either by drugs or by psychological techniques like mindfulness【C20】________."
【C20】
选项
A、operations
B、therapies
C、deeds
D、mends
答案
B
解析
此句谈论赌瘾的治疗(treatments for gambling addiction)。like后连接的是psychological techniques(心理手段)的例子。因此空格处填入的词应与治疗相关,B项therapies意为“治疗,疗法”,符合逻辑要求,与专注力和思维相关的问题应该不能通过手术治疗,因此A项operations“手术”不正确。C项deeds是指相对于语言和思维的“行为”,语义上不能搭配mindfulness(正念;专注力)。D项mends“改良,修补”侧重指若干部分的重整复合,语义也不符合要求。
