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.

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] 【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”。
