问题     A lasting marriage does not always signal a happy marriage. Plenty of【C1】______couples have stayed together for children,religion or other practical reasons. But【C2】______many couples, it’s just not enough to stay together. They want a relationship that is【C3】______and satisfying. In short, they want a(n)【C4】______marriage. "The things that make a marriage【C5】______have more to do with communication skills, mental health, social support, stress—those are the things that【C6】______it to last or not," says Arthur Aron, a psychology professor who directs the Interpersonal Relationships Laboratory at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. " But those things don’t【C7】______make it meaningful or enjoyable or sustaining to the individual. "
    The【C8】______that the best marriages are those that bring satisfaction【C9】______the individual may seem counterintuitive. After all,isn’t marriage supposed to be about【C10】______the relationship first? Not anymore. For centuries ,【C11】______was viewed as an economic and social institution, and the emotional and intellectual needs of the spouses were【C12】______to the survival of the marriage itself. But in【C13】______relationships,people are looking for a partnership,and they want【C14】______who make their lives more interesting.
    Dr. Aron and Gary W. Lewandowski Jr. , a professor at Monmouth University in New Jersey, have studied how individuals use relationship to【C15】______knowledge and experiences, a process【C16】______" self-expansion. " Research shows that the more self-expansion people experience【C17】______their partner, the more committed and satisfied they are in the relationship. To measure this, Dr. Lewandowski developed a series of【C18】______for couples : How much has being with your partner resulted in your learning new things? How much has knowing your partner made you a better person? While the notion of self-expansion may【C19】______inherently self-serving, it can【C20】______to stronger, more sustainable relationships, Dr. Lewandowski says.
【C8】

选项 A、suggestion
B、notion
C、potential
D、nation

答案B

解析 名词辨义。此处表示的是对于婚姻的一种观点,同时that引导的从句作这一单词的同位语,本句意为“最好的婚姻就是给彼此带来满足感这一观点可能看起来是违反直觉的。”故答案为B)notion“概念,观念”。A)suggestion“建议”、C)potential“潜力”、D)nation“国家”均不符合题意。
