Ⅳ. 任务型读写阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。［2012安庆模拟］
In the past 100 years Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing US minority. As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools，it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was forming. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities，where mathematics，science and engineering departments have taken on an Asian character.
This special liking for mathematics is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment (投资) in education is more immediate in something like engineering than that with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do，and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that promotes success，such as ideals that stress family values and education.
Topic In the past (1)______，Asian Americans have made great academic achievements，making them the fastest-growing US (2).
Reflection of achievements Asian-American students (3) ______more in mathematics，science and engineering.(4) ______for their achievements ◆Having a solid foundation in mathematics；◆Expecting a good job after (5) ______；◆Receiving fairer treatment from more objective (6) ______；◆Realizing investment more (7) ______；◆Encouraged to make full (8) ______ of American educational system；◆Performing well especially in homework with the
