Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry. In the past, when more
Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children
often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more
important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are
ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved
from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than
now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a
woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may
also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.

| 选择最恰当的单词或词语，完成短文。 For many years the United States and the other countries used gold and silver as money. Paper money was used to stand for the holdings (储备) of both gold and silver. The value of silver was limited to that of gold. Fifteen ounces (盎司) of silver had the same value of one ounce of gold. These values did not change until after 1860 when mines (银矿) in the west of the United States began to 1 large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused the price of silver to 2 . Then fifteen ounces of silver would no longer buy one ounce of gold. In 1871 Germany declared (宣布) that it would not support its paper money with silver any more. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly 3 the same. The United States passed a law in 1973 that prevented the government from using silver as money. Western silver producers protested (抗议) loudly and put much pressure on the 4 makers. Five years later a new law was 5 . It said that the government must buy four and half million ounces of silver each month. The new law increased the amount of silver money. The country had two kinds of quite different views on the issue (发行) silver money. Businessmen, bankers and other rich men wanted to 6 the use of silver money because it made the dollar less valuable. But farmers, labourers and the others who owned the money not only wanted silver money but also wanted an unlimited supply of it. | ||||
