问题     Some marriages seem to collapse so suddenly that you’d need a crystal ball to predict their demise (灭亡). In other【C1】______, though, the seeds of marital dissolution are not only easier to see but they may be planted even before the honeymoon bills come【C2】______. According to UCLA psychologist Thomas Bradbury, Ph. D., the way a newlywed【C3】______when his or her spouse is facing a personal problem-work stress, say, or a recent weight gain—is a【C4】______good window into their marital future.
    Bradbury and Lauri Pasch, Ph. D., invited 57 couples, all married less than six months, to【C5】______a difficulty that each partner was having. While some couples proved to be superstars at providing emotional support, others were woefully inept (笨拙的). You just cringed (退缩) when you watched them, Bradbury says.
    Two years later, nine of the couples had already【C6】______and five other marriages were intact but hanging by a thread. These 14 couples, it turned out, had been far less likely to provide support to one another as newlyweds than the other 43 couples whose marriages were【C7】______. Bradbury thinks a couple’s inability to help each other through【C8】______times is what often blossoms into full-fledged marital discord (不和谐)—and ultimately divorce.
    All of which suggests an obvious antidote (轶事) to’the sky-high divorce rate: if couples can learn how to provide emotional support before they marry, they【C9】______a better chance of staying together. The trouble, Bradbury says, is that couples who go for premarital counseling—where they can learn such skills—【C10】______to be the ones with a lesser risk for marital problems in the first place.
    A. thriving B. comments C. tough D. tend
    E. committing F. cases G. stand H. intends

【C1】
选项
答案F
解析 此处需填名词，而且可以和in other搭配，构成词组。根据上文提到的some marriages，可知此处指另外的“婚姻”。词库中的名词cases可以指代再次出现的事物，所以正确。in other cases意为“在其他的事例中”。
