问题     Traditionally, the American farmer has always been
independent and hard-working. In the eighteenth century
farmers were quite self-sufficient. The farm family grew
and made almost nothing it needed. The surplus crop【M1】______
would be sold to buy a few items in the local general store.
In I860? because some of the farm population had【M2】______
moved to the city, yet eighty percent of the American
population was still in the country. In the late nineteen【M3】______
century, farm work and life were not much changed from that【M4】______
they had been in the old days. The farmer aroused at【M5】______
dawn or before and had much work to do, with his own
muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes,【M6】______
spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking【M7】______
was done in wood-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【M8】______
wagon to the nearby small town or village to transact some
business as well as to chat with neighbors who had also come to
town. The children attended a small elementary
school(often of just one room)to that they had to wal【M9】______
every day, possibly for a few miles. The school term was
short so that the children could not help on the farm.【M10】______
Although the whole family worked, and life was not easy,
farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.
