For authors of self-help guides, no human problem is too great or too small. Want to become fitter, richer or happier in 2015? There are books for it—【C1】______upon shelves of them. Hoping for increased efficiency, decisiveness and creativity in the months ahead? There are titles for that, too.
As we settle down to our New Year’s【C2】______, we’ll turn in droves to self-help books, hoping to find our own best selves in their pages. But a book needn’t lecture to leave its imprint. The truth is that all good literature changes us, and a growing body of research suggests you might do better browsing through fiction for support in【C3】______life’s challenges. Think of it less as self-help than "shelf help".
Reading has been proven to sharpen【C4】______thinking, enabling us to better discern patterns—a handy tool when it comes to the often baffling behaviour of ourselves and others. But fiction in particular can make you more socially able. Last year, the Journal of Applied Social Psychology published a paper showing how reading Harry Potter made young people in the U. K. and Italy more【C5】______disposed towards stigmatised(使蒙上污名的)minorities such as【C6】______. And in 2013, psychologists at the New School for Social Research found that literary fiction enhanced people’s ability to【C7】______and read others’ emotions.
We think of novels as places in which to lose ourselves, but when we【C8】______, we take with us inspiration from our favourite characters. A 2012 study by researchers at Ohio State University found that this process could actually change a reader’s behaviour. In one experiment, participants strongly identifying with a【C9】______character who overcame obstacles to vote proved significantly more likely to vote in a real election.
They may not promise transformation in seven easy steps, but gripping novels can inform and motivate, short stories can console and trigger self-reflection, and poetry has been shown to engage parts of the brain linked to memory. Sometimes an author helps by simply taking your mind off a problem,【C10】______you so fully in another’s world and outlook that you transcend yourself, returning recharged and determined.
A)accepting
B)analytical
C)battling
D)books
E)concretely
F)critical
G)emerge
H)express
I)fictional
J)immersing
K)positively
L)refugees
M)register
N)resolutions
O)shelves
【C10】
选项
答案
J
解析
空格位于you之前,分析句子结构可知,空格处所缺词与taking是并列关系,因此推断应填入动词的现在分词形式,且可以和in搭配使用。动词备选项中首先排除H)express“表达”;答案在A)accepting“接受”和J)immersing“沉浸于”之中,空格所在句提到,作家可以帮助你轻而易举地把注意力从某个难题上转移开来,让你——作者的世界中,不自觉间超越自我,重新养精蓄锐,坚定信心。根据句意,只有J)immersing“沉浸于”符合语境,因此为正确答案。
