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.
In a recent survey, high school students in the United States and Japan were asked to【C8】______factors that contributed【C9】______success in the classroom. Of the Japanese, 72 percent listed hard work first【C10】______only 27 percent of Americans agreed.
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.

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] 【C4】
选项
A、way
B、control
C、discussion
D、attack
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。由下文下两句对“努力工作”的不好评价和第四段首句的the devaluing等可知,本句讲的应是各界对“努力工作”这一价值观的批判。come under attack意为“处于攻击之下”,在此处指“努力工作”这个价值观受到了大众的攻击,符合语义,故答案为[D]attack。under discussion指“在讨论之中”;underway指“在进行中”;under control指“处于控制之下”。
