问题     When asked how they define the American Dream, most people
will say, “Success. ”
    The dream of individual opportunity has been at home in America【S1】________
when Europeans discovered a “new world” in the Western Hemisphere. 【S2】________
Early immigrants like Hector St. John de Crevecoeur spoke highly the【S3】________
freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing
descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success
through honesty and hard work has fired the imaginations of many【S4】________
European readers. In Letters from an American Farmer(1782)he
wrote, “We are all excited at the spirit of all industry which is unfettered
and restrained, because each person works for himself. . . We have no【S5】________
princes, for which we toil, starve, and bleed：we are the most perfect【S6】________
society now existing in the world. ”The promise of a land where “the
awards of a man’s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his【S7】________
labor” drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion
into the western territories.
    Our national mythology is full of illustrations of the American
success story. There’s Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the
self-educated, self-made man, who rose from modest origins to
become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. The
notion of SUCCESS haunts us：we spent millions every year reading about【S8】________
rich and famous, learning how to “make a fortune in real estate with no【S9】________
money downward, ” and “dressing for success. ”The myth of success【S10】________
has even invaded our personal relationships：today it’s as important to be
“successful” in marriage or parenthood as it is to come out on top in
Business
【S7】
选项
答案awards—rewards
解析 词义混淆。awards表示“奖，奖赏”，而rewards表示“回报”。该处意为“对一个人的勤奋的回报紧随他所付出的劳动且与之成正比”。因此应该使用rewards。
