问题     Working-class families in the United States are usually nuclear, and
many studies indicate that working-class couples marry for love, not
for money. Upper-class couples may marry for love, but their commitment
of love is sometimes compromised by the recognition of their marriage【S1】______
as a way to preserve their class identity. Middle-class couples may also
marry for love, but the overridden task of middle-class families is also 【S2】______
an economic thing—to enhance the earning power of the breadwinner. 【S3】______
Of course, working-class people are also affected by the economic
realities for their families must operate like economic units as well. 【S4】______
However, the economic tasks of families are more a part of their dreams 【S5】______
about marriage than they are a part of the reality of their married life.
Indeed, to many a working-class couples, love provides a way to escape 【S6】______
from the difficulties of their parents’ home and starts their own family life. 【S7】______
    Another distinctive feature of working-class families is the majority 【S8】______
of them have limited choices about the work available to them. Their
"choices" are often the "leftovers" in the job market. People from working-class
families do seek self-esteem and personal confirmation, and they come 【S9】______
to their jobs full of hopes. However, given the way which production 【S10】______
and consumption are organized in advancing societies like the U.S.,
members of the working-class often experience exploitation in struggling
at jobs that may be less meaningful.     
【S9】
选项
答案confirmation—affirmation
解析 易混词误用。confirmation意为“证实，证明，批准”，而affirmation意为“肯定，断言”。结合并列的成分serf-esteem“自尊”，personal affirmation“自我肯定”意义符合全句的意思。
