Recently, a man who wanted to understand the【C4】______of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day【C5】______a month but continued to work【C6】______he normally did. During the first five days he was hungry at his【C7】______meal times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening, when he ate his【C8】______meal, he ate quickly and【C9】______a large amount. During the next few days,【C10】______he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food shop, and the smell of food【C11】______his attention. During the third and fourth【C12】______, he had hungry pains and lacked physical strength. He【C13】______his one meal and ate it very slowly,【C14】______every bite. Without it, he knew he would have【C15】______enough energy to work. This experiment【C16】______his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not【C17】______a pastime, it also【C18】______him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could less【C19】______pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most important, he could now sympathize in a small way【C20】______the starving people of the world.

Researchers in London and Bristol have found that men are particularly likely to yield to depression if their partners are also depressed.
The finding highlights the importance of paying attention to the partners of depressed mothers, as young children themselves are vulnerable to social problems if both parents are depressed.
Researchers in London and at the University of Bristol launched their study to investigate whether family structure affects the likelihood of depression in men around the time their child is born. They looked at men from traditional families, men with children from a previous relationship, men whose parents had children by a former partner, and men who were not living with their partner.
All 7,018 participants filled out a questionnaire on depression, and answered questions about their age, education level and employment status. Details about the quality of their relationships with their partners, networks of friends and previous life events were also recorded.
About 3.5 percent of the men and 13 percent of their partners suffered depression around the time their child was born. In comparison, men in step-families or who were not living with their partners were twice as likely to get depressed as those in traditional families. This could be explained by other factors that are more common in non-traditional families, such as poor education and relationship conflicts.
Even allowing for all these factors, however, the partners of women who were suffering from perinatal (产期的) depression were significantly more likely to become depressed themselves, the researchers report in an American Journal. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. For the healthy women, the figure was only 2.6 percent. Previous research suggests that families with two depressed partners may need special attention. A researcher in Atlanta has found that primary school children with two troubled parents have difficulty relating to their peers. "It's extremely important to look at the whole family," she says.
What can we conclude from Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2?
A. Men often mistreat their children.
B. Depressed women often have depressed partners.
C. All young children are vulnerable to social problems.
D. Women with children often have depressed partners.
