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 1860, because some of the farm population had moved to the city,【M2】______
yet eighty percent of the American population was still in the country. In
the late nineteen century, farm work and life were not much changed【M3】______
from that they had been in the old days. The farmer arose at dawn or【M4】______
before and had much work to do, with his own muscles like his chief【M5】______
source of power. He used axes, spades and other complicated tools.【M6】______
In his house cooking 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 wagon to the【M7】______
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【M8】______
walk every day, possibly for a few miles. The school term was short so【M9】______
that the children could not help on the farm.【M10】______
    Although the whole family worked, and life was not easy, fanners as a
class were self-reliant and independent. [br] 【M3】
