问题     The American farmers have always been independent and hard-working.
In the eighteenth century fanners were quite self-sufficient. The farm
family grew and made almost nothing it needed. The surplus crop 【M1】______
would be sold in order to buy a few items in the local general stone.
    In 1860, because some of the farm population had moved to 【M2】______
the city, yet eight percent of the American population was still in
the country. In the late nineteen century, farm work and life were 【M3】______
not much changed from that they had been in old days. The farmer 【M4】______
aroused at dawn or before and had much work to do, with his own 【M5】______
muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes, spades and 【M6】______
other complicated tools. In his house cooking was done in wood 【M7】______
burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the only improvement
on the candle. The family’s recreation and social life chiefly
consisted a drive in the wagon to the nearby small town or village 【M8】______
to transact some business as well as to chat with neighbors who also come to town
    The children attended a small elementary school(often of justone
room)to that they had to walk every day, possibly for a few miles. 【M9】______
The school term was short so that the children could not help on the 【M10】______
farm. Although the whole family worked, and life was not easy,
farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.
【M7】

答案complicated改为simple
解析 (属逻辑错误。根据上下文，此处谈论十七世纪的牧场生活，当时的劳动工具并不复杂，相反，有许多简单工具，如上文提到的斧子和铲子。)
