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【S1】______have shown that it is one of humanity’s most【S2】______emotions. It makes you happier and can change your attitude about life, like an emotional reset button.
    Beyond【S3】______that being grateful helps you, psychologists also are trying to【S4】______out the brain chemistry behind gratitude and the best ways of showing it. University of Miami psychology professor Michael McCullough, who has studied people who are asked to be regularly thankful, points out that giving thanks is a potent (强有力的) emotion that feeds on itself, almost the【S5】______of being victorious. He said psychologists used to underestimate the【S6】______of simple gratitude: "It does make people happier... It’s that incredible feeling."
    One of the reasons why gratitude works so well is that it【S7】______us with others, McCullough said. That’s why when you give thanks it should be more【S8】______and personal instead of a brief thank you note for a gift or a hastily run-through grace before dinner, psychologists say.
    Chicago area psychologist and self-help book author Maryann Troiani said she starts getting clients on gratitude【S9】______, 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【S10】______where people list weekly or nightly what they are thankful for.
A) heartfelt F) immediately K) strength
B) experiments G) gradually L) experiences
C) tools H) connects M) equivalent
D) supposing I) proving N) leave
E) figure J) reluctant O) powerful
【S4】
选项
答案E
解析 固定搭配题。分析句子结构可知，空格处应填入动词原形。备选项中有两个动词原形，且都能和out搭配，figure out意为“弄清楚”，leave out意为“遗漏，省去”。结合句意，“除了证明怀有感恩之心对人有好处，心理学家也在试图感恩背后的大脑化学变化及其最佳表现方式。”故填入figure out符合句意。
