问题     The happier you are, the better, right? Not necessarily. Studies show that there is a darker side to feeling good and that the【C1】________of happiness can sometimes make you less happy. Too much cheerfulness can make you deceivable, less successful—and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
    Happiness does have【C2】________It can protect us from stroke and from the common cold, makes us more【C3】________ to pain and even【C4】________our lives. Yet, June Gruber, a psychologist warns that it’s important to experience positive moods in moderation. She compares happiness to food:【C5】________necessary and beneficial, too much food can cause problems;【C6】________happiness can lead to bad outcomes. "Research indicates that very high levels of positive feelings【C7】________risk-taking behaviors, excess alcohol and drug consumption, overeating, and may lead us to【C8】________threats," she says.
    How else can excessive joy, or having lots of positive emotions and a relative absence of【C9】________ones, hurt you?
    First, it may【C10】________your career prospects. Psychologist Edward Diener, known for his happiness research, and his colleagues analyzed a variety of studies, and discovered that those who early in their lives reported the highest life【C11】________years later reported lower income than those who felt slightly less【C12】________when young. What’s more, they【C13】________school earlier.
    Included in the studies was one【C14】________a group of American college freshmen who in 1976 claimed to be very cheerful. Surveyed again when they were in their late 30s, they earned, on average, almost $3,500 a year less than their slightly less cheerful【C15】________. Why? Diener suggests that people who don’t experience much sadness or anxiety are【C16】________dissatisfied with their jobs and therefore feel less pressure to get more education or change careers.
    Psychologists point out that emotions are【C17】________: They make us change behavior to help us【C18】________Anger prepares us to fight; fear helps us flee. But what about sadness? Studies show that when we are sad, we think in a more systematic manner. Sad people are attentive【C19】________ details and externally oriented, while happy people【C20】________ make snap judgments that may reflect racial or sex stereotyping.
【C15】
选项 A、volunteers
B、colleagues
C、peers
D、members
答案C
解析 上文提到学者将两组快乐程度不同的年轻人(freshman)日后的收入进行对比，因此填入的词语应能体现两者年龄上的对等关系，故选C项peers“同龄人”。A项volunteers“志愿者”、B项colleagues“同事”、D项members“成员”均不能体现对比对象的年龄状况，且从上下文也无法推断这些人的具体身份。
