Hard work has been an important part of the American belief from the nation’s beginning. The American idea that hard work was to be esteemed (W-H) distinguishes us from Europeans who【C1】______their gentlemen of leisure. For us, hard work【C2】______than idleness was the way to distinction.
Now,【C3】______, like many other traditional values, hard work is coming under【C4】______. In academic journals, conferences and classrooms, the idea of hard work is considered to be another of those【C5】______that the dominant forces of our society【C6】______on the rest of us. It merely advances white-male interests —【C7】______any woman or minority foolish enough to buy into the dominant value system will find out.

Many factors contribute to the devaluing of hard work. Thinking that self-esteem is crucial, many parents and teachers【C11】______to point out the students’ failing, even laziness. To make matters【C12】______, Americans place an unusually high value on the idea of inborn ability. And aptitude (天资) 【C13】______deemphasizes the role that hard work plays in success. 【C14】______if our students fail to see that hard work【C15】______. it is because we are telling them time and again that it doesn’t. If we want young people to esteem hard work, it is up to us to show them its worth, its strength and its【C16】______in everyday life.
【C17】______while we are at it, we should make the larger argument there are many ideas to which we can all【C18】______. The notion that values cannot【C19】______class, race more than the idea of hard work. It calls into question【C20】______there can be an American creed — a public philosophy for us all. [br] 【C10】
选项
A、whereas
B、while
C、if
D、although
答案
B
解析
逻辑衔接题。空前提到Of the Japanese,72 percent listed hard work first,而空后提到only 27percent of Americans agreed,两个数据形成明显对比。while强调前半句内容和后半句内容的对比,故答案为[B] while。强干扰项[A]whereas侧重于说明一个做法(理论,说法)在某件事情上是可行的,而在另外一件事情上是不可行的,故排除。
