    The secret of a long and happy marriage appears to be not to expect too much from it. US researchers say that, unless you have superior relationship skills, your hopes of happy marriage are likely to break. 【B1】______
    The key to keeping the newly-wed happy is to be forgiveness and communication. The study was conducted by researchers from Ohio and Florida Universities. They looked at 82 couples in the study. 【B2】______Their study was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The result found those who believed their partner would be always kind, loving and agree with their every word, could keep their positive outlook. 【B3】______
    In addition, the researchers said holding a more prosaic (平凡的) view of your loved one means you are less likely to be disappointed.【B4】______In contrast, those with high expectations are likely to be brought down to earth fairly quickly as their Prince or Princess Charming falls off their pedestal (台座).
    Writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers led by James McNulty, professor of psychology at Ohio University, said:" In contrast to the idea that expectations in the early years of marriage have main effects on satisfaction, the current findings suggest that the effects of expectations interact with the skills that partners bring to their relationships. "
    Previous research found that people tend to select like-minded partners, because they believe they will be able to maintain a stable relationship.【B5】______In their study, the US researchers said people looking for long-term relationships should select partners who were similar to themselves.
    A.  They were forgiving and having positive explanations for their partner’ s negative behavior.
    B.  Low expectation keeps people from having a happy marriage.
    C.  Obviously, this result contradicts (反驳) the old saying that opposites attract.
    D.  Far better, they say, low expectation can ensure that you are not disappointed.
    E. Therefore, you will be more satisfied with your marriage.
    F. They quizzed all the spouses independently over 4 years.
【B2】
选项
答案F
解析 空格前后的The study，researchers，Their study是重要线索，本段都是围绕the study进行讨论的。浏览备选答案，只有F选项中的quizzed一词在语义上和它们相关联，而且在内容上，“他们在4年里对所有的夫妇进行了单独的测验”与“They looked at 82 couples in the study”衔接一致，因此F选项为应填句子。
