答案

Saturday
本文介绍了“鸟笼效应”。该效应是一个著名的心理学现象,指的是人们在偶然获得一件原本不需要的物品的基础上,继续添加更多与之相关而自己不需要的东西。这个效应由近代杰出的心理学家 William James 所发现。
1. how 下文用实例介绍“鸟笼效应”,此处对应表示:它的原理是这样的。how 意为“如何;怎么”,符合语境。
2. his 上文提及男子名 William James,下文对应用形容词性物主代词 his 修饰名词。
3. pet 由下文“送了他一个漂亮的鸟笼……他买了一只鸟”与提示字母 p 可推知,James 断言 Carlson 最终会养一只宠物鸟。
4. put 由提示字母 p 可知,Carlson 只是把空鸟笼放在家里。put 意为“放置”,符合语境。
5. asked 由下文 Where’s your bird? 可知,每次朋友来家里做客时,他们都会问一个问题。ask 意为“问”,符合语境。
6. Finally 置于句子开头,用逗号隔开,且由首字母 F 可知,填入 Finally,修饰全句,意为“终于;最终”。
7. story 第二段讲述了 James 和 Carlson 打赌的故事。由此可推知,这个故事展示了“鸟笼效应”是如何巧妙地影响我们的。story 意为“故事”,符合语境。
8. need 由语境可知,此处表示:它让我们做一些事情来“匹配”我们已经拥有的东西,即使我们并不需要它们。need 意为“需要”,符合语境。
9. coat 由上文“如果有人送了你一双冬靴”与首字母 c 可推知,你可能会觉得自己还需要一件外套和裤子来搭配它们。
10. bigger 由上文 smaller 及 much 可知,此处用 bigger 与之相呼应。
