问题     Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar period
were more eager than ever to establish families. They quickly brought
up the age at marriage for both men and women and brought the birth (1)______
rate to a twentieth century peak after more than a hundred year (2)______
of steady decline, producing the "baby boom". These young adults
established a trend of early marriage and relative large families that (3)______
went on more than two decades and caused a major but temporary (4)______
reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From the 1940s through
the early 1960s, Americans married at a higher rate and at a
younger age than its European counterparts. (5)______
    Less noted but equally significant, the men and women who
formed families between 1940 and 1960 also increased the (6)______
divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to a
great extent than did those of couples who married in earlier as well as (7)______
later decades. Although the United States maintained its dubious
distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, but the (8)______
temporary decline in divorce did not occur to the same extent in
the Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of (9)______
breadwinner and homemaker is not abandoned. (10)______ [br] (3)
