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.

选项
A、Then
B、Even
C、So
D、But
答案
C
解析
逻辑衔接题。本空前面说的美国人过于重视天资,导致hard work贬值,空后说的是如果学生们认识不到hard work的重要性,是因为我们告诉他们hard work不重要。由此可知,空前后为因果关系,故答案为[C]So。
