　　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 after more than a hundred (1)__ 
　　years of a steady decline, producing the “baby boom.” These young (2)__ 
　　adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large  
　　families that Went for more than two decades and caused a major (3)__ 
　　but temporary reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From  
　　the 1940S through the early 1960s, Americans married at a high rate (4)__ 
　　and at a younger age than their Europe counterparts.(5)__ 
　　Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women on who (6)__ 
　　formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the (7)__ 
　　divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to  
　　a greater extent than did that of couples who married in earlier as well (8)__ 
　　as later decades. Since the United States maintained its dubious (9)__ 
　　distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, the  
　　temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in (10)__ 
　　Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and  
　　homemaker was not abandoned.

　　In his classic novel, “The Pioneers”, James Fenimore Cooper has his hero, a land developer, take his cousin on a tour of the city he is building. He describes the broad streets, rows of houses, a teeming metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewildered. All she sees is a forest. “Where are the beauties and improvements which you were to show me?” she asks. He’s astonished she can’t see them. “Where! Why everywhere,” he replies. For thought they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they are as concrete to him as if they were already constructed and finished.
