參考答案【正確答案：B】
文章最后一段“there are many things we need to do to support employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.(為支持就業(yè)我們可以做很多事，但是最重要的是頒布類似于“G.I.Bill”的法案來保障人們接受高等教育的權利）”，可見B選項“保障更多人的教育”是正確答案。
A項“加速信息技術產業(yè)變革”和C項“促進經濟全球化”在文中均未提及。文中雖提及要頒布更多法案，但頒布法案的目的實際是為了保障教育，所以D選項也排除。
