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.
【C7】
选项 A、predict
B、prove
C、display
D、illustrate
答案A
解析 空格后的高危行为即是快乐可能会产生的消极影响，后半句的情态动词may也提示这是一种可能性，因此本空格应填入能表示产生这些可能后果的词语，故选A项predict“预示”。本句只是提示快乐可能会产生不良后果，并非必定产生的结果，排除B项prove“证明”。C项display“显示”多用于描述人或物的品质、情感、技能等，空格后词语不属于此类。D项illustrate表示用图表或事例“说明”，也不能说明快乐和空格后不良行为的关系。
