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.
【C10】
选项 A、affect
B、promote
C、lower
D、control
答案A
解析 此处意为“这一差异________的似乎不仅是人们的收入和家庭的稳定，还有他们的幸福感和压力状况”。affect“影响，使改变”符合题意，故A项affect为正确答案。promote “促进，提升”，lower“降低，减少”和control“控制”在原文都没有体现，故排除。
