问题     Marriage is, for many people, their most important relationship, the source of much happiness, and, for some, even adds extra years to their life. While the【C1】________between marriage and well-being has been【C2】________studied, predicting marital success is【C3】________. Exactly which people are likely to make successful【C4】________and what can they do to【C5】________the odds of being successful and happy in mariage?
    "The state of marriage is that it’s going in two directions. For people with a college degree, marriage is still going【C6】________However, Cherlin explains, "for people with less【C7】________, there’s less marriage and more break-ups." Happy marriage【C8】________are much less common in such households.
    Another predictor of successful marriages is the quality of a【C9】________childhood relation-ship with their parents. "The kind of relation-ships you have with your parents【C10】________up are predictive of marital quality in【C11】________Umberson says.
    Finally, there is a chicken-and-egg【C12】________to successful marriages. "People who are married are【C13】________than people who aren’t. The question is how much of this is【C14】________and how much is effect?" While natural selection【C15】________has an impact here, Cherlin says, "people who are【C16】________happy are more likely to get married, but marriage makes them even healthier."
    The【C17】________to good marriages is similar in Umberson’s view. "I think it’s the presence of emotional support, and that the person you’re with does make you feel emotionally supported," she says.【C18】________, "If your partner is【C19】________and demanding" all the time, those "are just red flags" in terms of marital happiness. And in terms of【C20】________, she notes, "marital strain is worse for your health than marital happiness is good for your health."  
【C4】

选项 A、husbands
B、wives
C、housekeepers
D、spouses

答案D

解析 上文讲到婚姻和幸福的关系及对婚姻是否会成功的预测,本句顺承上文:到底什么样的人有可能成为成功的________。既然是讲婚姻,那么此处应该是讲什么样的人可以成为成功的伴侣或配偶,故选D项spouses“配偶”。A项husbands“丈夫”和B项wives“妻子”均不够全面,原文并没有语境特指是“丈夫”还是“妻子”,因此都排除。C项housekeepers“看家人”代入句中,与原文的主题(婚姻和幸福的关系)不相关,故也排除。
