问题     Today’s college students are more narcissistic and self-centered than
their predecessors, according to a comprehensive new study by five
psychologists who worry that the trend could be harmful to personal
relationships and American society.
    "We need to stop endless repeating ’ You’re special ’ and having【S1】________
children repeat that back," said the study’s lead author, Professor Jean
Twenge of San Diego State University. "Kids are self-centered enough already. "
    "Fortunately, narcissism can also have very negative consequences【S2】________
for society including the breakdown of close relationships to others," he【S3】________
said. The study asserts that narcissists "are more like to have romantic【S4】________
relationships that are short-lived, at a risk for infidelity, lack emotional【S5】________
warmth, and to exhibit game-playing, dishonesty, and over-controlling and
violent behaviors. " Twenge, the author of "Generation Me: Why Today’s
Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled—and More
Miserable Than Ever Before", said narcissists tend to lack empathy, react
aggressively with criticism and favor self-promotion over helping others.【S6】________
    Some analysts have commended today’s young people for increased
commitment to volunteer work. And Twenge viewed even this【S7】________
phenomenon skeptically, noting that many high schools require
community service and many youths feel pressure to list some endeavors【S8】________
on college applications.
    Campbell said the narcissism upsurge seemed so pronounced which【S9】________
he was unsure if there were obvious remedies. "Permissiveness seems to
be a component," he said. "A potential antidote would be authoritative【S10】________
parenting. Less indulgence might be called for. "
    Yet students, while acknowledging some legitimacy to such findings,
don’t necessarily accept negative generalizations about their generation.

选项
答案like—likely
解析 词义混淆。like可以作动词和介词，此处有系动词be，那么like应该是介词，表示“像……一样”，但是放在此处语义不通，因为此处想要表达的是“研究表明，自恋者的爱情持续时间较短”，由此可见，应该使用likely，be more likely to表示“更可能……”。
