问题     Researchers say talking to yourself, out loud, is more common than many of us might care to admit. Psychologists call it "self talk" and say how we do it【C1】______a big difference in both our mood and our behavior. Motivational self-talk【C2】______what we say to psych ourselves up: "Come on!" "Let’ s go!" "You can do this!" Instructional self-talk walks us【C3】______a specific task. If you are driving, you might tell yourself to turn right at the next light, and then you do it. "It sounds simple, 【C4】______you get the correct reaction," says Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, associate professor at the University of Thessaly in Greece.
    The way you【C5】______yourself matters, too. the Research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in February found people who spoke to themselves【C6】______another person would—using their own name or the pronoun "you"—【C7】______better under stress than people who used the word "I".
    In one study, University of Michigan researchers induced stress in【C8】______by telling them they had to prepare a speech to give to a panel of judges about their【C9】______for a dream job. They were given five minutes to prepare and told they couldn’t use notes. Half of the participants were instructed to【C10】______their anxiety using the first-person pronoun("Why am I nervous?"). The other half were told to address themselves【C11】______name or the pronoun "you"("Why are you nervous?"). Afterward, each participant was asked to【C12】______how much shame he or she experienced right after the speech, and how much【C13】______ruminating they did.
    The results were【C14】______: People whose self-talk used their names or "you" reported【C15】______shame and ruminated less than the ones who used "I". The judges found the【C16】______of those using "you" to be more confident, less【C17】______and more persuasive.
    Both positive and negative words can【C18】______us in positive and negative ways. Say to yourself, "This job interview is going to be a piece of cake," and you might not get pumped up enough to make it.【C19】______, tell yourself, "You just lost that match, you need to focus harder,"【C20】______it could spur you to do better in the future.
【C8】

选项 A、researchers
B、students
C、applicants
D、participants

答案D

解析 此处的句意为“在一项研究中,密歇根大学的研究人员向______施压,告诉这些人说……"。根据语境判断,研究人员的研究对象应该为实验参与者,故D.participants“参与者”符合题意,且在本段末句再次出现,进一步验证了答案。researcher“研究者”,student"学生",applicant“申请人”均不符合题意,故排除。
