请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。

West Point is a college for future army officers. It has more than four thousand students, called cadets(士官生). The school is located about eighty kilometers north of New York City.

   West Point is the oldest continuously occupied military post in the United States. General George Washington built a fort(要塞) there during the Revolutionary War to protect the Hudson River from the British. He moved his headquarters to West Point in seventeen seventy-nine in the middle of the war.

   In eighteen hundred and two, President Thomas Jefferson signed legislation(立法) to establish the military academy. The education centered on civil engineering. West Point graduates designed many roads, bridges, harbors and railways for the young nation.

   Today, math and science are still a large part of the education. But cadets can choose from almost fifty areas of study. If cadets major in the humanities(人文学科), they must have an engineering minor(副科).

   Not all the young men and women at West Point are American. This year, fifty-eight are from other countries. Up to sixty cadets can be international students.

   International students are chosen by their governments. They must satisfy physical and educational requirements and do well in the Test of English as a Foreign Language. After graduation, they return home to serve in their nation’s armed forces. Other services besides the Army also accept foreign students at their academies.

   Major Joe Sowers, a West Point public affairs officer, says information is available through American embassies. He says the presence of international students at West Point serves a purpose for the Army. He says: “Cultural understanding, cultural awareness is essential for a modern-day officer. Now we have cadets from Panama and cadets from African countries, which doesn’t necessarily increase your knowledge on how to interact in Iraq or Afghanistan. At least not specifics, anyway. But you’ve begun the process of understanding that the world is bigger than your hometown and West Point and the United States of America. But I think the big reward is at the individual cadet level, establishing relationships with those who come from much, much different backgrounds.”

It's every student's dream to do well in the national college entrance examination and enter a good university. In the eyes of students and parents, a good university should have a high ranking, and the employment rate of its graduates should be high. But be careful! The employment rate they tell you might not always be true.

Recently, people created a Chinese phrase "bet jiuye", which has become popular on the Internet almost overnight across China. The word "bet" has a grammatical use in Chinese: it has a function similar to the passive voice in English. But now people often use it to express their doubts about something. Here, the phrase "bei jiuye" has the literal meaning of "to be hired", but people understand that it really means "to be hired without one's knowledge" or "be hired for jobs that may not exist at all".

The story of "bet jiuye" goes like this. Zhao Dongdong, a graduate of a university in Shanxi province, was surprised to find that he got a job from a company he never applied to, which he wasn't even sure was a real place. On his last day of graduation ceremonies, he was surprised to come across the employment contract.

"God! At that time, I had not landed a job yet, but they gave me an employment contract! I wondered who on earth signed the contract with the company. "When Zhao made a phone cull to the company to check it out, no one answered.

He was not the only one in his college who was "hired" for a job that did not exist. One of his classmates signed a contract with a company called Xi'an Beilin Industrial Corporation, which could not be found on the Interact either. In the end, it turned out that the college had faked the contract to make it seem like the employment rate for new graduates was higher than that. By doing this, the college could build up a "good" reputation that could help it attract new students.

"Bet jiuye" is just one of many hot "bet" words on the Internet. See some of them in "Bonus". The use of "bei" is a satirical (讽刺的) way for the public to express its helplessness and criticize abuses of power, some people say. People also use "bet" words to bring attention to social problems, hoping they will be noticed by authorities.

Standards of students' and parents' 76. _______	Having a high ranking
Having a high graduate employment 77. _______
78. ________ of the phrase "Bei jiuye"	To be hired 79. ________
To be hired with no knowledge or for 80 ________ jobs
81. ________ of the appearance of the phrase "Bei jiuye"	Seemingly to 82. ________ employment rate for new graduates
To form good 83. ________
84. ________ to the hot phrase " Bei jiuye" on the Internet	A way of expressing helplessness and 85. _________ power abuses A way of fixing attention to social problems and being noticed by authorities
