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.
[A]switching[B]productive[C]name[D]functional

[I]naturally[J]associated[K]constructive[L]consciously
[M]anxious[N]cooperated[O]re - employ
【B8】
选项
答案J
解析 空前系动词和空后介词提示所填词可能为形容词或动词的分词形式。that做主语，指代前面几句的内容，即厌烦恼情绪产生的原因。由句式和语境推测，本句可能是要说boredom(厌烦情绪)是与前面这些原因息息相关的，因而所填词要能表达这个意思且能与with连用，[J]associated(关联)用在句中符合要求，故为答案。[N]cooperated(合作、协作)不符合句意，可排除。
