问题     Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain a-lone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
    You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.
    Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.
    The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.
According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is______.
选项 A、deliberate
B、apparent
C、indistinct
D、impressive
答案C
解析 根据文章最后一段“The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way，but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable．”可知，身体的肌肉实际上以同样的方式参与了思考的过程，但这种参与并十分不明显，因为它不是很容易被注意到。distinct“明显的；显著的”，加前缀in表示否定，indistinct“不明显的，不显著的”。故选C。deliberate“故意的，深思熟虑的”，apparent“显然的，表面的”，impressive“感人的，令人印象深刻的”。
