问题     Crying and waking up in the middle of night are routine during any newborn’s first few months. But if those  crying  episodes  continue  on a regular【C1】________past the first year, then they may signal possible behavioral problems【C2】________.
    That’s what researchers in Europe found when they【C3】________nearly two dozen studies on something developmental experts call regulatory problems—which include trouble sleeping, continuous crying and difficulty feeding. The researchers【C4】________in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood that infants who consistently cry and wake up at night past their third month are nearly twice as likely to【C5】________problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, aggressive behavior or【C6】________disorders by the time they begin school. The most【C7】________behavioral difficulties these children had involved【C8】________of self-control, and an inability to calm themselves down or act【C9】________in different social situations.
    How exactly are【C10】________crying jags and picky eating during infancy【C11】________later behavioral problems? Dieter Wolke, one of the study co-authors and a professor of developmental psychology at University of Warwick in England, says the data don’t support any【C12】________link, but there are several possibilities. One, the crying and waking up at night are simply the first signs of behavioral problems that the babies can not【C13】________themselves very well. Every baby wakes up several times a night and may start crying, but most will eventually learn to calm themselves down and【C14】________back to sleep. They learn that enough is enough and inevitably【C15】________that Mom and Dad won’t come running every time they cry. If babies are already【C16】________to contracting a behavioral disorder,【C17】________, they may not be able to learn such self-control, and their crying episodes may continue well past their first year.
    【C18】________, says Wolke, some infants may be genetically susceptible to problems regulating their behavior; specifically, scientists have recently identified a version of a【C19】________concerning  dopamine  function,  which governs mood and emotions as well as motor function, that may make some infants more【C20】________to behavioral problems.
【C18】
选项 A、In addition
B、On the contrary
C、By contrast
D、For instance
答案A
解析 上一段提到，Wolke认为婴儿时期的长期啼哭和挑食行为跟以后的行为障碍存在几种可能联系，并提出了其中一种(One)——半夜啼哭是行为障碍的早期迹象。本段提到基因的影响，也是可能性的一种，这是补充，故选In addition“此外”。B项On the contrary“相反”，表示转折。C项By contrast“对比之下”，表示对比、反衬。D项For instance“例如”，表示举例。这三项都不能表示补充。
