    【C2】________the exploits of the Dutch extreme-cold enthusiast (狂热者) Wim Hof, who once spent nearly two hours in an ice bath. In The New York Times, the novelist Ben Dolnick reports that cold showers changed his "entire【C3】________ toward the outside world". The benefits include everything from【C4】________immunity to slowing ageing and fighting depression. It’s environmentally better, too, so you’ll feel the warm glow of being moral, which is fortunate, given that you’re going to be extremely bloody cold.

It worked【C7】________, helping me squeeze out a few more hours of energy. When I took another cold shower before bed, I slept better, too.

The far more likely result is just more【C10】________conflict.

选项
答案A
解析 动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格所填词作谓语，与tried和started构成并列关系，表示一系列的动作，因此应填入动词的过去式。此处意为“我尝试了小睡，________那个计划，然后转而开始在冰水中跳跃”。备选项中只有abandoned“放弃”符合题意，故为答案。
