问题    A new economics paper has some old-fashioned advice for people navigating the stresses of life: Find a spouse who is also your best friend. Social scientists have long known that 【C1】______ people tend to be happier, but they debate whether that is because marriage causes happiness or simply because happier people are more 【C2】______ to get married. The new paper, 【C3】______ by the National Bureau of Economic Research, controlled for pre-marriage happiness levels. It 【C4】______ that being married makes people happier and more satisfied 【C5】______ their lives than those who remain single—particularly during the most stressful periods, like 【C6】______ crises.
   Even as fewer people are marrying, the disadvantages of remaining single have broad 【C7】______. It’s important 【C8】______ marriage is increasingly a force behind inequality. 【C9】______ marriages are more common among educated, high-income people, and increasingly out of reach for those who are not. That divide appears to【C10】______not just people’s income and family stability, but also their happiness and stress levels.
   A quarter of today’s young adults will have never married by 2030, which would be the highest【C11】______in modern history, according to Pew Research Center.【C12】______both remaining unmarried and divorcing are more common among less-educated, lower-income people.【C13】______, high-income people still marry at high rates and are less likely to divorce.
   Those whose lives are most difficult could【C14】______most from marriage, according to the economists who wrote the new paper, John Helliwell and Shawn Grover. "Marriage may be most important when there is that stress in life and when things are going【C15】______," Mr. Grover said.
   【C16】______marital happiness long outlasted the honeymoon period.【C17】______some social scientists have argued that happiness levels are innate, so people return to their natural level of well-being【C18】______joyful or upsetting events, the researchers found that the benefits of marriage persist. One【C19】______for that might be the role of friendship within marriage. Those who【C20】______their spouse or partner to be their best friend get about twice as much life satisfaction from marriage as others, the study found.
【C15】
选项 A、wrong
B、bad
C、great
D、well
答案A
解析 此处意为“当生活中出现了压力，有了______时，婚姻可能是最重要的”。go wrong“出毛病：发生故障”与and前的“出现了压力”对应，故A．wrong为正确答案。没有go great这一用法；go well表示“一切顺利”方向错误；go bad“变酸；开始腐坏”不符合题意，故排除。
