The Secret of a Happy Marriage
The secret of a long and happy marriage appears to be not to expect too much from it. US researchers say that, unless you have superior relationship skills, your hopes of happy marriage are likely to break. 【B1】______
The key to keeping the newly-wed happy is to be forgiveness and communication. The study was conducted by researchers from Ohio and Florida Universities. They looked at 82 couples in the study. 【B2】______Their study was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The result found those who believed their partner would be always kind, loving and agree with their every word, could keep their positive outlook. 【B3】______
In addition, the researchers said holding a more prosaic (平凡的) view of your loved one means you are less likely to be disappointed.【B4】______In contrast, those with high expectations are likely to be brought down to earth fairly quickly as their Prince or Princess Charming falls off their pedestal (台座).
Writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers led by James McNulty, professor of psychology at Ohio University, said:" In contrast to the idea that expectations in the early years of marriage have main effects on satisfaction, the current findings suggest that the effects of expectations interact with the skills that partners bring to their relationships. "
Previous research found that people tend to select like-minded partners, because they believe they will be able to maintain a stable relationship.【B5】______In their study, the US researchers said people looking for long-term relationships should select partners who were similar to themselves.
A. They were forgiving and having positive explanations for their partner’ s negative behavior.
B. Low expectation keeps people from having a happy marriage.
C. Obviously, this result contradicts (反驳) the old saying that opposites attract.
D. Far better, they say, low expectation can ensure that you are not disappointed.
E. Therefore, you will be more satisfied with your marriage.
F. They quizzed all the spouses independently over 4 years.
【B1】
选项
答案
D
解析
文章开篇表明作者的观点:保持婚姻长久、幸福的秘诀在于不要对婚姻的期望太高,全篇文章围绕这一观点进行讨论。空格位于第一段的最后,考生可以根据空格前内容来判断应填句子。空格前讲到除非你有很好的人际相处技巧,否则你对幸福婚姻的希望就会破灭,空格处的信息应该与此一致。备选答案中只有D选项在内容上符合上下文语境,而且句子中的they say与前面的US researchers say,low expectation与前面的expect too much分别对应,因此D选项符合题意。
