    Happiness does have【C2】______. It can protect us from stroke and from the common cold, makes us more【C3】______to pain and even【C4】______our lives. Yet, June Gruber, a psychologist warns that it’s important to experience positive moods in moderation. She compares happiness to food:【C5】______necessary and beneficial, too much food can cause problems;【C6】______, happiness can lead to bad outcomes. "Research indicates that very high levels of positive feelings【C7】______risk-taking behaviors, excess alcohol and drug consumption, overeating, and may lead us to【C8】______threats," she says.
    How else can excessive joy, or having lots of positive emotions and a relative absence of【C9】______ones, hurt you?

    Psychologists point out that emotions are【C17】______: They make us change behavior to help us【C18】______. Anger prepares us to fight; fear helps us flee. But what about sadness? Studies show that when we are sad, we think in a more systematic manner.

【C1】

选项 A、absence
B、pursuit
C、claim

答案B
