问题     As long as the American land was not completely settled and the elements of【B1】______order were not yet imposed on the frontier, the permanent American passion for looking to the future【B2】______prophetic brooding(沉思)on material expansion and to great efforts to make those prophecies【B3】______. But with the closing of the frontier, interest in the future took a more human form. It became the【B4】______of the American men and women to provide a world in which life would be easier for the next generation. Psychologically, at least, the closing of the frontier meant a closing of the【B5】______, since it was no longer possible to dismiss the problem of youth’s economic future with a brisk "Go West, young men, and grow up with the country".
    As a result, providing a world in which young men and women could grow up in a fairly【B6】______country became a constant national concern. It was reflected in the increasing interest in education and in the【B7】______in the size of the family. If, on the other hand, the old tradition survived that everybody, no matter how wealthy his parents, worked at home and earned a little money outside, it gradually came to be slightly【B8】______. When the merchant’s or the lawyer’s son made some extra money by delivering papers or cutting lawns, he was probably performing an act of discipline rather than a【B9】______economic function. The boy who was made to earn a dollar or two a week in such ways might all the while be arguing with vigor and【B10】______, for the right to a car of his own or to a free hand with the family car.
