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. 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] 【C16】
选项
A、significance
B、priority
C、status
D、superiority
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。在语义上与空前的worth(价值),strength(优点)并列的是significance"重要性”, 其与上句的matters对应,故答案为[A]significance。[B]priority“优先权”、[C]status“地位”和[D]superiority“优越性”均与此处语义不符。
