　　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 would be sold to buy a new __1__ items in the local general store.

　　In 1860, because some of the farm population had moved to __2__ the city, yet eighty percent of the American population was still in the country. In the late nineteen century, farm work and life __3__ were not much changed from that they had been in old days. The __4__ farmer aroused at dawn or before and had much work to do, with __5__ his own muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes, __6__ spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking was done __7__ 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 nearby small town or __8__ 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 walk every day, possibly for a __9__ few miles. The school term was short so that the children could not help on the farm. Although the whole family worked, and life __10__ was not easy, farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.

　　答案：1. nothing --- everything 据上下文，农民们是自给自足，故应为everything

　　2. because --- although 下文中有yet，为让步状语从句，故用although

　　3. nineteen --- nineteenth 多少世纪用序数词表示

　　4. that --- what 宾语从句，用what引导

　　5. aroused --- rose/got up 此处意为“起床”，arouse一般做及物动词，为“唤醒”之意，但是百度里也有做“醒来”的不及物动词之意，希望大家一起探讨一下。

　　6. like --- as as意为 “把……作为…….”

　　7. complicated --- simple 据上下文，农民们只有“简单的”工具

　　8. consisted后加 of be consisted of 为固定搭配，意为“由……组成”

　　9. that --- which 定语从句，前面有to，只能用which，不能用that

　　10. and --- / although为转折词，不能用and，但是后面也不能加but
