Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. President Obama39。s second Inaugural Address used soaring language to stress America39。s mitment to the dream of equality of opportunity: 39。We are true to our belief that a little girl born into 1 knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American39。. The gap between ideal and reality could hardly be 2 . Today, the United States has less equality of opportunity than almost any other advanced industrial country. Study after study has 3 the myth that America is a land of opportunity. A way of looking at equality of opportunity is to as to what extent the life chances of a child are 4 the education and ine of his parents. Is it just as likely that a child of poor or poorly educated parents gets a good education and rises to the middle class as someone born to middleclass parents with college degrees? Even in a more democratic society. The answer would be no.How do we explain this? Some of it has to do with discrimination (歧視). Latinos and AfricanAmericans still get paid less than whites, and women still get paid less than men, 5 they recently surpassed (超越)men in the number of advanced degrees they obtain. Discrimination, however, is only a small part of the 6 . Probably the most important reason for 7 of equality of opportunity is education. After World War Ⅱ, we made a major effort to 8 higher education to Americans across the country. But then we changed, in several ways. While racial segregation（種族隔離）decreased, economic segregation increased. After 1980, the poor grew poorer, the middle stagnated（停滯不前）, and the top did better and better. A result was a widening gap in educational performance – the 9 gap between rich and poor kids born in 2001 was 30 to 40 percent larger than it was for those born 25 years earlier, a Stanford sociologist found. Of course, there are other forces 10 . Children in rich families get more exposure to reading. Their families can afford enriching experiences like music lessons and summer camp. They get better nutrition and health care, which enhance their learning, directly and indirectly. Now Americans are ing to realize that without extensive policy changes, their long cherished belief is only a myth. It is unreasonable that a rich country like the United States has made 11 to higher education so difficult for those at the bottom and middle. There are many 12 ways of providing chances for more to receive higher education, from Australia39。s inecontingent loan program to the nearfree system of universities in Europe. A more educated population produces greater innovation, and a booming economy. Those benefits are why we39。ve long been 13 to free public education through 12th grade. But while a 12thgrade education might have been enough a century ago, it isn39。t today. Yet we haven39。t 14 our system to contemporary realities. The steps I39。ve outlined are not just affordable but necessary. Even more important, though, is that we cannot afford to let our country drift farther from 15 that the vast majority of Americans share. We will never fully succeed in achieving Mr. Obama39。s vision of a poor girl39。s having exactly the same opportunities as a wealthy girl. But we could do much, much better, and must not rest until we do.1. A. prejudiceB. inferiorC. povertyD. minority2. A. narrowerB. widerC. severerD. closer3.
