(1) 由下句可知，空格处应用move，表示“四处走动”。(2) 由于医生给Cousins下了诊断，而Cousins决心战胜疾病恢复健康，所以上下文之间表示让步关系，用despite。(3) 由下文的positive attitudes and emotions可知此处应用attitudes。(4) 上句提到情绪压力和消极的态度对健康会造成危害，反过来讲，积极的态度和情绪对身体应该是有益的。(5)love, hope, faith, laughter, confidence 均为褒义词，所以该空格处也应用褒义词，结合上下文语意，此空应表示“活下去的愿望”。(6) 该句意为“除了传统的药物治疗，他设法使自己处于能带来积极情绪的状态中”。bring about导致，带来；set about着手，开始；put up搭建；make up编造。故A项符合句意。(7)afford 承担，负担；appoint任命；offer主动提供；arrange安排。本句句意为“他安排时间每天看喜剧，读幽默书籍，以及做一些来促使他产生积极情绪的事情”。(8)Cousins 做这些事情的目的应该是促使他产生积极的情绪。(9)Cousins 的laugh therapy有了效果，故疼痛有所减轻。(10) 本句说明积极的情绪使Cousins的疾病有了好转，他在几个月后能够重新工作，而且在几年后彻底痊愈了。 |
