问题     College students are more stressed out than ever before—at least according to the latest findings of a large, national survey that has been conducted annually for the last 25 years. The survey includes more than 200,000 students【C1】________nearly 300 colleges and asks them to【C2】________how their own mental health【C3】________their classmates’—for example, is it "above average" or in the "highest 10%"?
    This【C4】________unusual methodology typically results in the statistical Lake Woebegon effect in which most people【C5】________to overestimate themselves in relation to others (it refers to the fictional Lake Woebegon, where "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average").【C6】________the most recent results indicate that fewer and fewer freshmen feel like they are in top form in terms of【C7】________stress.
    So what’s going on? Obviously, the economy and high unemployment might【C8】________the increase in stress. A much more precise large study recently found that empathy【C9】________college students had declined 40% since 2000—and since caring relationships are【C10】________to mental (and physical) health, a decline in empathy could also produce a decline in mental health and coping.
    My final point brings us back to my earlier post on a Stanford study that looked at the psychological【C11】________of comparing ourselves to others. It found that the way people are incline to【C12】________their negative emotions while broadcasting their happy ones makes the rest of us feel somehow "less than"—【C13】________all our friends and neighbors have better lives than we【C14】________.
    This【C15】________, too, might tie into why the new survey, "The American Freshman: National Norms, Fall 2011," found that students are feeling less【C16】________about their level of emotional and mental stability. If all the students around you are desperately trying to【C17】________a happy face—and you【C18】________that face as a true reflection of their【C19】________selves, even as you work to hide your own【C20】________—well, it’s not surprising that so many students might be getting a bit strained.
【C20】
选项 A、thought
B、feeling
C、happiness
D、sadness
答案D
解析 文章多次提到人们想表现出高兴的样子，如broadcasting their happy…trying to…a happy face，所以推断出人们设法hide(隐藏)的是自己的忧伤，故选D项sadness“忧伤”。A项thought“思想”，B项feeling“感觉”，可以是积极的，也可以是消极的，而积极的思想、感觉是人们一般不会隐藏的。C项happiness“快乐”，是人们希望展露的，而不是想要隐藏的。
