问题     Any American who has bought a pack of cigarettes since the mid-60s might have seen the health warnings. It says, "SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, And May Complicate Pregnancy." Such government warnings work,【C1】________— research has shown that smokers in countries with strong warnings know more about smoking【C2】________than those in countries where warnings are weaker. But it’s unclear whether smokers who see any warning【C3】________smoke less.
    Public-health advocates have known for years that individualized messages are far more【C4】________at getting smokers to stop. For instance,【C5】________a doctor reminds a patient that her sister has promised to help her【C6】________, that patient will be much more likely to stop smoking than someone who just sees a(n)【C7】________message on a cigarette pack. A recent study shows that tailored antismoking messages engage brain regions involved in how people see themselves. Those regions are associated with emotion【C8】________basic human awareness and, possibly, awareness of others’【C9】________of us.
    The authors of the study, a University of Michigan team led by psychologist Hannah Faye Chua,【C10】________91 smokers who wanted to quit. The participants, who smoked an average of 17 cigarettes per day,【C11】________medical imaging scans for one hour while different messages appeared on a screen. Some messages were tailored to their【C12】________histories (for example, " A concern you have is being tempted to smoke when【C13】________other smokers"). Some messages were general anti-smoking【C14】________.
    The researchers found that the tailored messages【C15】________the two brain regions significantly more than the non-tailored and【C16】________messages. In other words, reading a short sentence changed their brain activity—【C17】________those who showed stronger activity in those regions were more likely to quit smoking.
    The reason this paper is important is that it【C18】________a growing body of research showing that what is often mocked as  "talk therapy" can produce real changes in brain【C19】________. If you really want to quit smoking, you should commit to a(n)【C20】________behavioral-therapy program. It will not only help you stop; it could change how your brain works.
【C16】
选项 A、neutral
B、dreadful
C、controversial
D、scary
答案A
解析 此处应填入的词在意思上应与non-tailored并列，只有A项neutral“中立的。不明确的”符合语义。B项dreadful“可怕的”，D项scary“吓人的”，非量身定制的普通信息都是些一般的禁烟呼吁，不会有多可怕或吓人。C项controversial“有争议的”，一般的禁烟呼吁都是比较大众化的，不应该有争议。
