A happy marriage apparently is good medicine, but hostile spouses may be harmful to one another’s health. Couples in (36) marriages take longer than the happily married to heal from all kinds of wounds, from minor scrapes or (37) injuries to major surgery, suggests a study over the weekend. And the health toll taken by a stressful job seems to be (38) when the worker has a pleasurable home life. This new research, reported at an American Psychosomatic Society meeting, adds to growing evidence that marriage has an (39) on health. In the wound healing study, 42 couples agreed to let researchers use a suction (40) to create several minor blister wounds on their skin in two (41) about two months apart. The first time, couples were told to discuss a (42) topic; the next time they were given half an hour to (43) an issue or two on which they disagreed. Their discussions were monitored. Researchers also (44) . The outcome: "Even a simple discussion of a disagreement slows wound healing," says psychologist Janice Kieeolt-Glaser, who did the study with co author Ronald Glaser of Ohio State University College of Medicine. Overall, (45) . Hostile couples—peppering both discussions with criticism, sarcasm and put-downs—healed the slowest. It took them 40% longer, or two more days, to heal, and they also produced less of the proteins linked to healing. (46) , Kiecoh-Glaser adds.

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. Video games have become increasingly popular in both arcades and the average American home. People of all ages and from all walks of life are enjoying hours of entertainment by feeding their time and quarters into these flashing, beeping machines. Many skeptics as well as prospective arcade owners have asked what it is that gives Pac Man, Centipede, and a multitude of other popular games their magnetic appeal to millions of players. As a video player myself, I believe there are many answers to that question but three are outstanding. Before a full-scale attack is launched against young video players for "throwing away" their quarters, one should first consider the rising costs of more traditional forms of entertainment. For instance, eighteen holes of miniature golf or ten frames of bowling will cost the player at least two dollars, and one movie costs four bucks. For just two dollars, a video player can get at least eight games, and the better he gets, the longer he can play. Compare that record with the game of miniature golf, where the better one becomes, the shorter amount of time he gets to play. Not only are the games less expensive than other forms of entertainment, hut they are also more in tune with the important issues of the day. Even those people who have never been interested in science are beginning to appreciate how much science influences our lives today. Video games, which are the products of advanced technology and uncontrolled imagination, have brought today’s youth closer than ever to the exciting world of science by games. In fact, there are even cartridges which teach garners how to program computers. It is exciting to be involved with the most up-to-date ideas of the day, and video games help provide people with the opportunity to be involved. Besides the fact that they help people to get involved in technology, video games also pro vide an outlet for the emotions and the ego. If a man gets frustrated with his boss, for example, he can go to the arcade after work to destroy enemy cruisers rather than drown his anxieties in liquor. Also, for those who feel they are not capable of excelling at anything, the games provide am. challenges which are easily mastered with patience and practice. It gives a person a good feeling to know that he has broken his own record or that of someone else. It can be inferred that Pac Man and Centipede are ______.

A. traditional video games
B. home video games
C. popular game machines
D. prevalent video games
