    It has long been known that high-calorie food can act as a balm(镇痛软膏)for anxiety and bad moods, but now a series of new studies published in Psychological Science【C1】______that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive【C2】______in the world.
    In one of the experiments, people who were exposed to words suggesting tough times, like "disaster", "suffer" and "struggle" , were prompted to eat more high-calorie food and【C3】______low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not【C4】______understood. Taste didn’t come into it: neither did pleasure. "The cues I used did not change people’s【C5】______, " says lead author Juliano Laran, a University of Miami marketing professor who【C6】______in consumer psychology and self-control, " and I specifically found that people were not looking for pleasure, but rather for food items that can【C7】______them fed for longer periods of time. "
    The inspiration for the studies came from New York City’s policy of posting calorie counts in restaurants, which Laran noticed did nothing to【C8】______the consumption of high-calorie food. "This signaled, " he says, "that misinformation was not the【C9】______issue, that there was something else【C10】______on. "
【C3】
选项
答案O
解析 根据句子结构可知，low—calorie food前面缺少一个形容词作定语。结合空格处的句意“与控制组人们相比，那些接触到如‘不幸’‘忍受’和‘挣扎’这些表示艰难时期词汇的人，被提倡去吃更多高卡路里的食物和低卡路里的食物”，该句中有两个表示对比关系的名词短语，即more high-calorie food andlow-calorie food，而与more“较多的”意思相反的形容词就是less“较少的”，故[O]less为答案。
