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.

选项
A、admire
B、despise
C、regard
D、enjoy
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。空前提到“努力工作会受到尊重”这一价值观将美国人和欧洲人区分开,由此可知,欧洲人应该不看重努力工作,而是羡慕那些悠闲绅士,故答案为[A]admire“羡慕”。[B]despise“鄙视”、[C]regard“认为”和[D] enjoy“享受”均与此处语义不符。
