If you’re like many people, you may have decided that you want to spend less time【C1】________at your phone. It’s a good idea: an increasing body of【C2】________suggests that the time we spend on our smartphones is【C3】________with our sleep, self-esteem, relationships, memory, attention spans, creativity, productivity and problem-solving and decision-making【C4】________ .
【C5】________there is another reason for us to rethink our 【C6】________ with our devices. By chronically raising levels of Cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, our phones may be【C7】________ our health and shortening our lives.
Until now, most discussions of phones’ biochemical effects have focused on dopamine, a brain chemical that helps us【C8】________ habits—and addictions. Like slot machines, smartphones and apps are explicitly designed to【C9】________dopamine’s release, with the【C10】________of making our devices difficult to put down. This manipulation of our dopamine systems is【C11】________many experts believe that we are developing behavioral【C12】________to our phones. But our phones’ effects on Cortisol are potentially even more【C13】________ .
Cortisol is our primary fight-or-flight hormone. Its release triggers【C14】________ changes, such as spikes in blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar, that help us react to and【C15】________ acute physical threats. These effects can be life-saving if you are actually in physical【C16】________—like, say, you’re being charged by a bull. But our bodies also release Cortisol in response to emotional stressors where an increased heart rate isn’t going to do much good, such as checking your phone to find an angry email from your boss.
The good news is that if we break this anxiety-driven cycle, we can【C17】________our Cortisol levels, which in turn may both【C18】________our short-term judgment and lower our【C19】________for long-term stress-related health problems. To make your phone less stressful, start by turning 【C20】________ all notifications except for the ones you actually want to receive.
【C13】
选项
A、satisfying
B、promising
C、puzzling
D、alarming
答案
D
解析
空格处需要填入一个形容词,作本句的表语。本段前三句都在解释生理因素导致我们对手机上瘾,由本句连词but可知,本句与上一句为转折关系,主语effects on cortisol(手机对皮质醇的影响)强调的是手机对我们生理因素的影响,由副词短语even more(更多)可知,这种影响更大,所以空格处应该选择表示负面情感的单词。综合四个选项,只有选项[D]alarming“令人担忧的,使人惊恐的”符合句意,故为正确选项。
