问题     For many, the pursuit of happiness is also the pursuit of
prosperity. Part of the American dream is the ability to provide【M1】______
your family, have a job that pays the bills, and puts a roof over
your head. The last few years of economical uncertainty have【M2】______
made this dream harder to attain for millions of U.S. citizens and
legal immigrants. Twenty-four million Americans are employed or【M3】______
underemployed. Meanwhile, there are 7 million illegal workers
with jobs in the U.S. We could open up millions of jobs for
citizens and legal immigrants even if we simply enforced worksite【M4】______
immigration laws.
    E-Verify is a program that helps preserve rare jobs for U.S.【M5】______
citizens and legal immigrants. It allows employers to check what【M6】______
prospective employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S.
The program is free, quick, and easy to use—persons eligible to
work immediately confirmed 99.5 percent of the time. More than【M7】______
270,000 employers across the U.S. voluntarily use E-Verify, and
the average of 1,300 new businesses sign up each week. I’ve【M8】______
introduced the Legal Workforce Act to require all U.S. employers
to use E-Verify. This bill is one of the most significant steps we
can make to preserve the pursuit of happiness for millions of U.S.【M9】______
citizens and legal immigrants while curbing incentives for future
illegal immigrants.
    The U.S. has been and will continue to be a nation of
immigrants. And we are also a nation of laws. And we must【M10】______
enforce our laws to protect and preserve the rights and freedoms
that make America so great.
【M5】
选项
答案rare—scarce
解析 词汇错误。rare和scarce都有“稀少的，罕见的”的意思，但不同的是：rare主要指名贵和不寻常的东西，而scarce带有短缺的、不能满足需求的意思。此处指的是就业机会少，供不应求，故应该用scarce。
