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.

选项

答案B

解析 空前系动词提示所填词可能为形容词或动词的分词形式。本空上一句指出人在什么样的情况下会产生不好的情绪L没事情做,但却又感到要有所建树的时候。由此可以判断本句所填词与not连用也应能表示“没能有所建树”,故答案为[B]productive(有成绩的)。
