The trend toward smaller families may not be as modern as we think. Although women gatherers had four or five children, only two typically survived childhood — the number found in the【B1】______American family today. Even our style of【B2】______children is starting to parallel hunting gathering communities, in which girls and boys【B3】______play together from a young age, and consequently experiment at sex earlier and engage in【B4】______marriages. Clearly, we’ve moved away from the agricultural custom of arranged marriages and insulating girls at home to【B5】______their virginity.
Moreover, the home is no longer the "place of production", as it was in farm days. We don’t make our soap, grow our vegetables and kill chickens for the dinner table. Instead, we hunt and gather in the grocery store and return to our "home base" to consume the food we have collected. No wonder we are so in love with fast food. It probably【B6】______an eating strategy our primate relatives adopted over 50 million years ago.
There’s no mistaking the trend: Humans are once again【B7】______. Husband and wife are no longer bound to a single plot of land for their【B8】______. and women are back in production as well as reproduction. As we view the future, there’s every reason to believe the sexes will enjoy the kind of equality that is a function of our birthright. By equality, I mean a more【B9】______division of power — not that our roles will converge. Alike men and women have never been and never will be. Very simply, we think【B10】______. which is again tied to our long hunting gathering heritage. [br] 【B1】
选项
答案
average
解析
空前的the和空后的名词词组American family表明,本空应填一形容词。破折号后的内容是对前面提到的only two…survived childhood这个一般性的情况进行解释说明,故此处很可能是说“普通”美国家庭的情况。average在这里意为“平常的;典型的”。
