问题     While it seems pretty obvious that gratitude is a positive emotion, psychologists for decades rarely delved(探究)into the science of giving thanks. But in the last several years many【C1】______have shown that it is one of humanity’s most【C2】______emotions. It makes you happier and can change your attitude about life, like an emotional reset button.

    Chicago area psychologist and self-help book author Maryann Troiani said she starts getting clients on gratitude【C9】______, sometimes just by limiting their complaints to two whines(牢骚)a session. Then she eventually gets them to log good things that happened to them in gratitude journals that are becoming regular therapy【C10】______where people list weekly or nightly what they are thankful for.
