So it is almost inevitable that over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will continue their long【C2】________. The labs are more glamorous (迷人的) than the libraries.

They have yearnings and fears that【C9】________in an inner beast you could call "The Big Shaggy". If you’re【C10】________about "The Big Shaggy", you’ll probably get eaten by it.
