The secret of a long and happy marriage appears to be not to expect too much from it.Far better,US researchers say,to aim low to ensure you are not disappointed.The key to keeping that newlywed glow appears to be forgiveness and communication.The study by researchers from Ohio and Florida Universities looked at 82 couples.They quizzed all the spouses independently over four years.Writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,researchers led by James McNulty,professor of psychology at Ohio University,said:\contrast to the idea that expectations in the early years of marriage exert main effects on satisfaction,the current findings suggest that the effects of expectations interact with the skills partners bring to their relationships.\study also found that people tend to select like-minded partners who they believe will be able to maintain a stable relationship.The finding contradicts the old belief that opposites attract.Instead,the US researchers said people looking for long-term relationships should select partners who were similar to themselves,rather than seeking out the highest quality partner available.

Do you have a tough math test coming up?Then listen to some classical piano music just before the test.You might end up with a higher score.Researchers at a university in California conducted an experiment.They asked a group of college students to listen to some piano music by a famous 18th century composer before taking a math test.They were surprised to find that the students'scores jumped 8 to 9 points.The music seems to excite nerve activities in the brain similar to the activity that occurs when a person is figuring out a math problem.However,the scientists warn that before you get too excited about applying this method to your math test,you should remember that brain-exciting effects last only 10 to 15 minutes.Would rock music work as well as the piano music did?No,the scientists say.In fact,the less complex music might even interfere with the brain's reasoning ability. 19.What is this passage mainly about?
