    It has long been known that high-calorie food can act as a balm (阵痛软膏) for anxiety and bad moods, but now a series of new studies published in Psychological Science【C1】________that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive【C2】________in the world.
    In one of the experiments, people who were exposed to words suggesting tough times, like " disaster", "suffer" and "struggle", were prompted to eat more high-calorie food and【C3】________low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not 【C4】________understood.

选项
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。根据句子结构可知，空格处缺少可以与介词on构成短语作后置定语的动词现在分词，修饰前面的something else。结合上文意思，由于去餐馆就餐的顾客没有注意到张贴在餐馆里的卡路里量计算表，因此，这项旨在减少人们对高卡路里食物消耗的政策就没有起到作用。而空格处句意为“这说明错误信息不是主要问题，一定还有别的事情在发生”；再由句子结构分析可知，此处要填现在分词，而且可与on搭配，备选动词中只有going符合，因此C项going“开始；进行”为答案。
