参考答案【正确答案：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.(为支持就业我们可以做很多事，但是最重要的是颁布类似于“G.I.Bill”的法案来保障人们接受高等教育的权利）”，可见B选项“保障更多人的教育”是正确答案。
A项“加速信息技术产业变革”和C项“促进经济全球化”在文中均未提及。文中虽提及要颁布更多法案，但颁布法案的目的实际是为了保障教育，所以D选项也排除。
