问题     Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar period were more
eager than ever to establish families. They quickly brought down the age at marriage
for both men and women and brought the birth rate to a twentieth century height 【M1】______
after more than a hundred years of a steady decline, producing the"baby boom. " 【M2】______
These young adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large
families that went for more than two decades and caused a major but temporary 【M3】______
reversal of longterm demographic patterns. From the 1940s through the early
1960s, Americans married at a high rate and at a younger age than their 【M4】______
Europen counterparts. 【M5】______
    Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women who formed 【M6】______
families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the divorce rate after a 【M7】______
postwar peak: their marriages remained intact to a greater extent than did that of 【M8】______
couples who married in earlier as well as later decades. Since the United States 【M9】______
maintained its dubious distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world,
the temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in Europe. 【M10】______
Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and homemaker was not
abandoned.
【M2】
