    Commuters have a 40 per cent greater risk of ending up divorced, according to a university study. Those who spend a long time on trains or were【C1】______ in cars shuttling to the office are up to 40 per cent more likely to【C2】______ from their spouse. The risk is highest in the first few years when the dream of life together gives way to the daily【C3】______.
    Experts said that if one partner spends 45 minutes or more commuting they would come home too 【C4】______ to help around the house. This would create a breeding ground for【C5】______ that would leave the other person feeling like they are being taken for granted.
    The Swedish study looked at statistical data from two million Swedish households. The researchers from Umea University cited the figure of 45 minutes as the kind of commute which could do【C6】______ to relationships.
    They found that in families where the man commutes, the woman is often forced to take a less qualified job closer to home, which means both less money as well as a【C7】______ share of the family responsibility.
    "This means they have less time to help out with the【C8】______ chores. The commuting partner might feel like he shouldn’t have to【C9】______ equal responsibility around the home【C10】______ he’s putting in the long hours back and forth to work." Jean Hannah Edelstein, a relationships expert, said.
【C4】
选项
答案C
解析 空格位于too…to…“太……以至于不能……”结构中，故此处应填入形容词。由spends 45 minutes ormore commuting(在上下班往返路程上花费45分钟或更多时间)和too．．．to help around the house(不能帮助做家务)可知，填入的词应表达“劳累”的含义，备选项中tired符合句子语境。
