问题    The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded, in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how his grade 9 level had been established.
   My topic is not standards nor its decline. What the speaker was really【C1】______is that he is no longer young; he has been【C2】______for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
   My【C3】______is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following【C4】______is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons【C5】______our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language【C6】______. But since then, English teachers have been under constant【C7】______.
   The complainers think they have hit upon an【C8】______idea. As their own command of the language【C9】______, they notice that young people do not have this same ability.【C10】______that their own ability has developed through the years, they【C11】______the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this【C12】______. To the eyes and ears of【C13】______adults the language of the young always seems【C14】______.
   Since this concern about the【C15】______and fall of the English language is not【C16】______as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and【C17】______to today’s young people, it naturally【C18】______that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.【C19】______, young people would not commit【C20】______against the language.
