A candlelit dinner works wonders for romance. Now scientists say it could also be good for your heart. Breathing in candle smoke causes beneficial【C1】________in your heart rhythm, they claim. It is thought that tiny salt particles released when the candle burns are【C2】________the effect.
The researchers monitored the hearts of 13 men and women as they breathed in air【C3】________into a small chamber. In some【C4】________the air included smoke from candles in a second room. The volunteers didn’t know which type of air they were breathing, but when it included candle smoke, their heart rate variability【C5】________.
Everyone’s heart rate varies【C6】________all the time, beating a little bit faster when we breathe in than when we breathe out This is perfectly healthy and a sign that the brain is【C7】________and able to regulate the heart But this variation【C8】________as we get older and if we【C9】________heart problems In the study, it was increased by【C10】________candle smoke.
Researcher Christina Isaxon said the concentration of smoke【C11】________during the study was similar to that created by a candlelit dinner. As the volunteers could not see the candles and weren’t told what they were breathing, the effect could not be explained【C12】________by the calming effect of candlelight.
Dr Isaxon believed that tiny particles of the candle smoke could be responsible for the beneficial effects. These particles are【C13】________regulating the heart’s rhythm and in sending messages between cells in the body. More salts are produced when a【C14】________is still. The study did not find any【C15】________health effects of the smoke—【C16】________she admitted she did not ’make a huge effort’ to find any.
Soot, black powder in the smoke, from lit candles has been【C17】________health problems in the past. The American Chemical Society has warned that common wax candles release【C18】________harmful chemicals linked to cancer and other illnesses. It recommends using beeswax.
Dr Isaxon used candles made of a natural fat in her study. She recommended using candles that are as natural as possible and avoiding【C19】________and dyes as they may give off【C20】________chemicals when burned.

选项
A、measuring
B、emitting
C、inhaling
D、smelling
答案
C
解析
从第二段中提到的研究来看,吸入蜡烛烟雾会增高心率变异性。C项意为 “吸入,吸气”,可对应上文breathing一词。上文提到吸入含有蜡烛烟雾的空气会增高心率变异性,“测量”(A项measuring)、“排放” (B项emitting)和“闻,嗅”(D项smelling)蜡烛烟雾都无法对应上文语义。
