In an analysis of reports from 42 countries, U.S. researchers found that married people are consistently happier than singletons. The effect is small, but that still begs the question: Does marriage make you happy, or are happy people simply more likely to get married?
Both answers may be true. In a study that followed more than 30000 Germans for 15 years, Diener and his colleagues found that happy people are more likely to get married and then stay married. But anyone can improve his or her mood by getting married. The effect begins about a year before the "happy day" and lasts for at least a year afterward. For most people, satisfaction levels do return to their baseline, but the researchers say this conceals (掩盖) the fact that a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect. Furthermore, people who are less happy to begin with will get a bigger boost from marriage.
And it seems there’s something special about signing that piece of paper: The research shows that you can’t get as much benefit from simply cohabiting (同居). "My husband says that cohabiting couples lack the deeper security that comes with the formal band of gold, and that is why they are not quite so happy," says Oswald. "Insecurity, we know from all data, is bad for human beings."
What keeps back the permanent positive effect of marriage?
选项
A、The baseline of satisfaction.
B、A less happy beginning.
C、The concealment of reality.
D、A good marriage.
答案
A
解析
本题为推理题。解题关键在于第二段倒数第二旬“For most people,satisfaction levels do return to their baseline,but the researchers say this conceals the fact that a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect.”。这句话说明满足感的底线隐藏了婚姻永久积极的作用,因此A是正确答案。选项B.A less happy beginning.、C.The concealment of reality.和D.A good marriage.均与题意不符。
