问题     Some people are friendly drunks, whereas others are hostile, potentially posing a danger to themselves and others. The difference may【C1】______in their ability to foresee the consequences of their actions, according to a recent study.
    Brad Bushman, a psychologist at Ohio State University, and his colleagues asked nearly 500 volunteers to play a simple game. The subjects, an even mix of women and men, believed they were【C2】______against an opponent to press a button as quickly as possible. In【C3】______, they were simply using a computer program that randomly decided【C4】______they had won or lost. When they lost, they【C5】______a shock. When the "opponent" lost, the participant gave the shock and chose how long and【C6】______ it should be.
    【C7】______playing, the participants completed a survey designed to【C8】______their general concern for the【C9】______consequences of their actions. Half the participants then received enough alcohol mixed with orange juice to make them legally【C10】______, and the other half received a drink with a very【C11】______amount of alcohol in it. Subjects who expressed little interest in consequences were more likely to【C12】______longer, stronger shocks. In the【C13】______group, they were slightly more aggressive than people who【C14】______about consequences. When drunk, 【C15】______, their aggressiveness was off the charts. "They are【C16】______the most aggressive people in the study," Bushman says.
    The good news is that this【C17】______can be changed. Michael McKloskey, a psychologist at Temple University, explains that if【C18】______people can learn to see the【C19】______more realistically, they’re able to stay calmer and develop a sense of【C20】______over their consequences.
【C18】
选项 A、average
B、young
C、pessimistic
D、impulsive
答案D
解析 根据后一句的they’re able to stay calmer，可知这类人需要保持冷静，因此可推断他们是“冲动”的人，故填入D项impulsive“冲动的”。
