学习啦在线学习网 Traditionally, the American farmer has alwaysbeen independent and hard-working. In the eighteenth century farmers were quiteself-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almost nothing it needed. Thesurplus crop (71) would be sold to buy a few items in the local generalstore.
In 1860, because some of the farmpopulation had (72) moved to the city, yet eightypercent of the American population was still in the country. In the latenineteen century, farm work and life were not much changed from that theyhad been in the old days. The farmer aroused at (74) dawn or before and hadmuch work to do, with his own muscles like his chief source of power. Heused axes, (76) spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking(77) was done in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the onlyimprovement on the candle. The family’s recreation and social life chieflyconsisted a drive in the (78) wagon to the nearby small town or village totransact some business as well as to chat with neighbors who had also come totown. The children attended a small elementary school (often of just oneroom) to that they had to walk (79) every day, possibly for a few miles.The school term was short so that the children could not help on the farm.(80)
学习啦在线学习网 Although the whole family worked, and lifewas not easy, farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.

作文范文：
The graph shows the changing rate of caraccidents in Walton city in 1990. The first two months of 1990 showed anincreasing trend. The rate rose to 32 in March but fell to 26 in June. FromJune on the rate was rising again and reached the peak point 39 in August.After August the rate began to decline, and eventually dropped to the lowestpoint 16 at the end of the year.
学习啦在线学习网 The highest rate in August was due tounfavorable weather conditions. Humidity and high temperature make driversimpatient, which easily leads to car accidents. The high rate in the first halfof 1990 was also caused by the bad weather condition. In Walton Citythe excessive rain comes at early spring. The rain made road slippery, whichoften resulted in car accidents.
This year the pattern is expected to change.The city government has raised fund to improve the road condition. Two newroads will be finished at the beginning of this year and are expected to opento traffic soon. Furthermore, the new road regulation provides that in summer everycar must be air-conditioned. With all these precautions, I’m sure that the rateof car accidents will be much lower this year.
