问题     " Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain. "
    The saying let us find【B1】______in these words as we struggle to keep ourselves entertained on the condition of boredom.
    An academic has set out to prove that boredom—far from being a bad thing—is a【B2】______occurring emotion that should not be suppressed. Dr Richard Ralley, a psychology【B3】______at Edge Hill College in Orm-skirk, Lancashire, has begun a study of boredom.
    He said: " Boredom can be a good thing. In psychology we think of emotion as being【B4】______Fear, anger and jealousy all serve a purpose but they’re painted in a bad light even though they exist for a reason. It’s the same with boredom, which also has a bad【B5】______.
    We get【B6】______because we get sick when we have nothing to do and feel the need to be productive. We feel bad when we’re not【B7】______and that’s what boredom is【B8】______with.
    Boredom is something: it’s not just【B9】______off. It can be useful. When there’s nothing rewarding going on we conserve energy, so that when we want to【B10】______we can. There’s a balance between doing something that’s rewarding and doing something that’s rewarding but not being happy about doing it.
    Boredom is natural. You needn’t force yourself to avoid having it. You can control it in a way that can get yourself to do something challenging. It is natural, so let’s deal with it.
[A]switching[B]productive[C]name[D]functional
[E]lecturer[F]comfort[G]re-engage[H]bored
[I]naturally[J]associated[K]constructive[L]consciously
[M]anxious[N]cooperated[O]re - employ
【B6】
选项
答案H
解析 空前动词get提示所填词可能为名词或形容词。根据句中的have nothing to do and feel the need(意识到有需要但是却找不到事做)和get sick可知，在意识到有需要但是却找不到事情做时，人就会很容易产生一种sick(厌烦)的感觉，由句中的because可知所填词应与sick属于近义复视。由此可以判断[H]bored(烦恼的，无聊的)符合句意，故为答案。
