Question

To a watching world, Mike and Mary Murray were a perfect couple. They had been high school sweethearts, and    1    to have a happy marriage. Mike had a good job, and Mary was able to    2    home with their children. They owned their home and    3    kids, two cars. and a family dog.    4    to Mike, after seven years of marriage, something was terribly wrong. The Murrays had    5    their material goals and Mike    6   , now what? He began to look to his job for fulfillment and often worked 60 hours    7   . Mary poured herself into the children. It was so    8    for her to turn her focus from Mike to 6-month-old Eric and 2-year-old Brittany.

    And now the marriage seemed    9   . Their lives were traveling in two different directions. They no longer really communicated—yes, they answered    10    questions, but they didn't talk    11    as they had in the early years of their marriage. Mike felt trapped. “I 12___ had time to do things that I wanted to,” he says. Mike did not share his feelings with Mary. Instead, he followed the slippery path of many others—he became involved with (与……纠缠不清) a woman at work, who was    13    her husband. It began as a simple friendship. “I was able to listen and she was able to listen.” Mike recalls.

    Mary    14    the battle in Mike's soul. “He wasn't home as much, and we weren't talking as much,” she says. “I was wrapped up in the kids and I just couldn't imagine anything ever 15 . “The situation became worse when the Murrays attended a wedding and began to argue. Mary asked Mike if he was seeing    16    and he said, “Yes. It's just an emotional (情感的) thing.” Mike can still remember the    17    of hurt and total surprise on Mary's face. She was troubled, and he knew that he had turned against (背叛) his best friend    18    high school. The expression on her face jarred (刺激) him into    19   , and he began to understand the  20 he was doing to his family.
