    Worried about what people are saying about you? Concerns about gossip could influence behavior , including generosity, researchers said.
    "As it turns out, the act of gossip can indeed be quite powerful, " said Jared Piazza of Queen’ s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
    Piazza and Jesse M. Beringa studied the【B1】______of 72 college students who were asked to distribute tokens(代金券)with a monetary value between themselves and someone else.
    Half of the group were【B2】______told their decision would be discussed with a third party.
    "Participants who were told that the receiver would be communicating their economic decision with the third party were【B3】______more generous in their allocations of the tokens than participants who were not【B4】______to believe that their decisions would be discussed, " Piazza and Beringa said in the study published in the journal Human Behavior.
    They added that the most【B5】______strategy from an economic standpoint would have been for a student to【B6】______all 10 tokens to him or herself, but the threat of gossip seemed to have【B7】______their decision.
    Although gender did not play a major role in the study, men were slightly more【B8】______than women.
    "Allocations of males were, on average, slightly greater than allocations of females, although there were almost twice as many female participants, " the researchers【B9】______.
    A previous study showed that gossip is more powerful than truth, suggesting people believe what they hear through the grapevine even if they have evidence to the【B10】______.

【B3】
选项
答案F
解析 除去空格，这个句子从语法上讲也很完整。因此，空格中所填词汇可能也是副词。该句大意为：“被告知分配结果会被第三方知道的人，比那些未被告知的人明显要慷慨得多。”备选项中的副词只剩下significantly，综合考虑，significantly更符合语义上的要求。
