问题     Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the US economy soar during the ’90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology【C1】______But how? In the late ’90s, the answer seemed obvious: Indians. After all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would lure Indians to Germany just as America does: by offering green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and【C2】______that they would issue 20 000 in the first year. Naturally, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the【C3】______would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later 【C4】______half of the 20 000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was【C5】______
    I told the German official at the time that I was sure the【C6】______would fail. It’s not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, but I understood something about green cards, because I had one(the American version). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued, because it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship.

" So Germany was asking bright young professionals to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange land, but without any【C9】______of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was【C10】______received in India and other countries, and also by Germany’s own immigrant community.
