    The ancient art of reading someone’s palm has always been【C1】a______the most popular ways of foretelling the future. After all, you don’t have to believe it, and the best thing about it is that it doesn’t require a lot of time or expensive【C2】eq______either. But many are skeptical that palm reading has any scientific basis at all. 【C3】______ could be more ridiculous than the idea that our future can be predicted from the random lines and creases on our hands? Cynics claim that palmists use other clues to gain their " amazing" insights. In【C4】______ words, the more experienced and observant the reader is, the better they become at noticing things which help them to "predict" the future. While the more cynical the "victim" is, the【C5】______likely they are to believe a word of it!
    However, scientists at the University of Barcelona have discovered that palmistry may have some basis in scientific truth.【C6】______(compare)the palms of 140 children, they discovered that the more arches and loops children have on their palms, the more likely they are to be【C7】______(intellectual)impaired. And the existence of a Simian line—a rare crease across the palm—appears to be one of the most reliable【C8】______(indicate)of mental deficiency. This may be connected with events between the thirteenth and eighteenth weeks of pregnancy, a crucial time for brain【C9】dev______and the period when fingerprints are formed. So maybe there is some truth in what the palm reader says and there is nothing more guaranteed to cheer you up than the news that you are about to meet a tall dark stranger【C10】w______will change your life for the better.

选项
答案Having compared
解析 (该句指“通过比较140名孩子的手掌，他们发现孩子手掌上的纹路起伏越大，他们的智力就越低下”，此处是现在分词作状语，compare的动作发生在discover之前，且与逻辑主语they是主动关系，故填Having compared。)
