The conventional wisdom is that keeping your head down【C3】______the single-minded pursuit of qualifications is the path to【C4】______It makes every election for every tiny organization a heated battle and makes classes almost a second choice. Every hour not spent in class is spent building a【C5】______resume: student council, National Honor Society, captaining the football teams, and joining a dozen other student organizations.

    Faust’s top tip for【C9】______a Harvard man or woman: "Make your children interesting! "

It’s much easier to complete a checklist, however【C13】______, than to actually be interesting.
    【C14】______the good news is that when colleges use this set of【C15】______, kids can focus on shaping their teenage years in a way that isn’t just about trying to【C16】______resume line after resume line, and【C17】______focus on a more whole sense of self That seems like a far more【C18】______way to move through high school than spreading oneself too thin trying to get a lot of positions one can’t really ever【C19】______That encourages an inferior approach to learning and society that is just the【C20】______of what the liberal arts have traditionally tried to encourage.
【C10】
选项 A、present

C、afraid
D、nearby
