问题     "Home, sweet home" is a phrase that expresses all essential attitude in the United States. Whether the 【S1】______ of life in the family house is sweet or not so sweet, the cherished (珍惜的)ideal of home has great importance for many people.
    This ideal is a 【S2】______ part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century Europe settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of land, build a house for one’s family, and start a farm. These small 【S3】______ were portraits of independence: the entire family mother, father, children, even grandparents -- living in a small house, and working together to support each other. Everyone understood the 【S4】______ importance of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, the ideal of home 【S5】______ is just strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S. soldiers came home after World War Ⅱ, for example, they dreamed of buying houses and 【S6】______ families. So there was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in the suburbs, were often small and nearly 【S7】______ , but they satisfied a deep need. Many saw the single-family house as the basis of their way of life.
    As more women entered the labor force, the family spent even less time together. But the picture is changing: people can now telecommute, or work at home, while being 【S8】______ to the office by means of their computer. More and more people can now stay at home. So the old 【S9】______ could change from "Home, sweet home" to "Home, sweet office", but the 【S10】______ on the cherished home will most likely stay the same.

A) households          B) complex           C) reality             D) emphasis
E) starting            F) aspect            G) cooperation         H) connecting
I) identical           J) ownership         K) real                L) life and death
M) vital               N) expression        O) linked
【S6】
选项
答案E
解析 根据连词and之前的动名词结构判断，此处也应是动名词形式。从意义上讲，此处应是“购买房子，建立家庭”之意。
