问题     Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar
period were more eager than ever to establish families. They quickly
brought clown the age at marriage for both men and women and brought
the birth rate to a twentieth century height after more than a hundred               【B1】_______
years of a steady decline, producing the "baby boom." These young                    【B2】_______
adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large families
that went for more than two decades and caused a major but                           【B3】_______
temporary reversal of long-term demographic patterns.  From the
1940s through the early 1960s, Americans married at a high rate and                  【B4】_______
at a younger age than their Europe counterparts.                                     【B5】_______
    Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women who                   【B6】_______
formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the                       【B7】_______
divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to
a greater extent than did that of couples who married in earlier as                  【B8】_______
well as later decades. Since the United States maintained its dubious                【B9】_______
distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, the
temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in                     【B10】_______
Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner
and homemaker was not abandoned.
