问题 The celebration of mediocrity is on full bloom at Cuesta Community       【M1】______

admission to it’s nursing program. This semester, 38 names were pulled       【M2】______
at randomly from 156 "qualified applicants" —those with at least C averages 【M3】______
in core courses. According to the chancellor of California’s community
colleges, grade point averages are an "artificial barrier" to professional
school admission. "We can’t discriminate in favor of students who get A’s
over students those who may be getting B’s," says Amy Grant, dean of         【M4】______
nursing instruction at Cuesta. Prior this year, nursing school admissions at 【M5】______
Cuesta were determined by grade point average, recommendations, medical

in state hiring and admissions.
    There is a substantial anti-elitism in American life. Job applicants are 【M6】______

two weeks than many educators earn in a decade. And Dan Quayle or Ronald
Reagan certainly didn’t win admission in Phi Beta Kappa. The Cuesta          【M10】______
lottery admissions program is consistent with the ration’s revolt against academic
standards.
