问题     Academy Award nominees who go home empty-handed may not have a shiny Oscar to【B1】______, but they may turn out to be the bigger winners in the【B2】______of life. According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, Oscar-winning screenwriters are more successful, more【B3】______and more respected than losing nominees; however, they die sooner by about four years.
    "Because success is【B4】______linked to better health, this is the first【B5】______that success is not associated with improved longevity," says Donald Redelmeier, lead author of the study. Research【B6】______information about every person who was ever nominated for an Oscar since the awards were first handed out 73 years ago.
    In order to explain the【B7】______ findings, he offered two theories. The first is the "work-to-death hypothesis". According to Redelmeier, screenwriters are more apt to lead unhealthy lifestyles, meaning they smoke more,【B8】______less, and work a lot of late-night hours, which【B9】______not enough sleep.
    Screenwriters don’t have a boss to report to, which【B10】______ Redelmeier’s second explanation: the "party-hearty hypothesis." "When you become a successful screenwriter, you gain status without daily accountability, and as a consequence your success may lead you to more alcohol, more parties, and more fatness," he says.
