问题     In an analysis of reports from 42 countries, U.S. researchers found that married people are consistently happier than singletons. The effect is small, but that still begs the question: Does marriage make you happy, or are happy people simply more likely to get married?
    Both answers may be true. In a study that followed more than 30000 Germans for 15 years, Diener and his colleagues found that happy people are more likely to get married and then stay married. But anyone can improve his or her mood by getting married. The effect begins about a year before the "happy day" and lasts for at least a year afterward. For most people, satisfaction levels do return to their baseline, but the researchers say this conceals (掩盖) the fact that a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect. Furthermore, people who are less happy to begin with will get a bigger boost from marriage.
    And it seems there’s something special about signing that piece of paper: The research shows that you can’t get as much benefit from simply cohabiting (同居). "My husband says that cohabiting couples lack the deeper security that comes with the formal band of gold, and that is why they are not quite so happy," says Oswald. "Insecurity, we know from all data, is bad for human beings."
The title of the passage is probably______.
选项 A、Single People
B、Married People
C、Marriage and Happiness
D、Band of Gold
答案C
解析 本题为主旨大意题。通读全文可知，选项A．Single People，B．Married People和D．Band of Gold在文章中都提到了，虽然每一项都和婚姻与幸福相关，但都只是一个方面，并 不全面，因此都不能作为文章的标题，因此选项C．Marriage and Happiness才是正确答案。
