In other【C1】______, though, the seeds of marital dissolution are not only easier to see but they may be planted even before the honeymoon bills come【C2】______. According to UCLA psychologist Thomas Bradbury, Ph. D., the way a newlywed【C3】______when his or her spouse is facing a personal problem-work stress, say, or a recent weight gain—is a【C4】______good window into their marital future.
Bradbury and Lauri Pasch, Ph. D., invited 57 couples, all married less than six months, to【C5】______a difficulty that each partner was having. While some couples proved to be superstars at providing emotional support, others were woefully inept (笨拙的). You just cringed (退缩) when you watched them, Bradbury says.

答案 I

解析此空有两种可能，一种是填形容词，前面的come作连系动词使用；另一种是填副词，用来修饰come。词库中的副词不符合语义的要求，所以只能在形容词中查找，due比较合适，意思是“应支付的，到期的”。
