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.

选项
A、anyway
B、therefore
C、somewhat
D、however
答案
D
解析
逻辑衔接题。上段中提到努力工作是美国人所看重的价值观之一,而本段及下文的内容说的是,努力工作不再是美国人特别看重的价值观了。前后两段意思上发生了转折,故答案为[D]however。anyway作“但”讲时表转折,但一般放句尾,与此处不符,故排除干扰项[A]anyway。
