Today women earn almost 60 percent of all bachelors degrees and more than half of masters and Ph.D.s. Many people believe that, as this may be good for women as income earners, it【M1】______ foreshadows ill for their marital prospects. As Kate Bolick wrote in a much-discussed article in The Atlantic last fall, American women face "a radical shrinking pool【M2】______ of what are traditionally considered to be marriageable men— those who are better educated and earn more than they do." Educated women worry that they are scaring potential partners,【M3】______ and experts claim that those who do marry will end up with satisfactory matches. They point to outdated studies suggesting【M4】______ that women with high earnings than their husbands do more【M5】______ housework to compensate for the threat to their mates egos. Is this really the fate facing with educated women: either no【M6】______ marriage at all or the marriage with more housework? Nonsense.【M7】______ That may have been the case in the past, but no longer. By 1996, intelligence and education moved up to No. 5 on mens ranking of【M8】______ desirable qualities in a mate. The desire for a good cook and housekeeper had dropped to 14th place, near the bottom of the 18-point scale. The sociologist Christine B. Whelan reports that by 2008, mens interest in a womans education had arisen to No. 4,【M9】______ just after mutual attraction, dependent character and emotional【M10】______ stability.

People learn languages all the time, and for all kinds of reasons. For example, you probably have various reasons to study【M1】______ English than your classmates. But have you ever thought about creating entirely new language from scratch? Theres been a boom【M2】______ in made-up languages recently, driving by the epic "Lord of the【M3】______ Rings" and other fantasy movies and books. The trend has also fueled as more and more people venture online. There are【M4】______ websites, discussion boards, and chat rooms that teach how to build a language, others that share new languages, and some that seek collaborators. Made-up languages arent restricted on Star【M5】______ Trek fans and Esperanto speakers. It spends time and determination to create a new language. A【M6】______ creator needs to do more than substitute existing words with invented ones. Theres rhythm and intonation to consider—how does the language sound when spoken? If its invented for humans【M7】______ in a movie or book, how does biology change the sound? How does it represent the culture of the people who speak it? Then there are grammar rules, such as masculine and feminine nouns or verbs, word order, or the use of irregular verbs. Even if a simple language【M8】______ can take years to develop. Yet the new languages dont have the same sticking power as real languages like English. As for the made-up languages of today, there are an infinite number of reason behind their creation.【M9】______ Some people do it as a hobby, another as a way to relax. Some just【M10】______ like the challenge.

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. Ive【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.
