    It has long been known that high-calorie food can act as a balm (阵痛软膏) for anxiety and bad moods, but now a series of new studies published in Psychological Science【C1】________that high-calorie food may be a balm for economic anxiety, too, and one that we are prepared to apply whenever we perceive【C2】________in the world.
    In one of the experiments, people who were exposed to words suggesting tough times, like " disaster", "suffer" and "struggle", were prompted to eat more high-calorie food and【C3】________low-calorie food than a control group did—even though these words were in the background, on a poster, and not 【C4】________understood.

选项
答案O
解析 名词辨析题。根据句子结构可知，动词perceive后面缺少名词作宾语。根据上文可知，高卡路里食物也会成为经济焦虑的止痛药，再结合空格处的句意“而且在这个世界上不管我们何时感到________，我们都准备好随时去食用这些高卡路里食物”可知，空格处的词汇应该和上文中的anxiety“焦虑，不安”意思接近，因此O项trouble“苦恼，烦恼”符合句意，故为答案。
