Most Americans born in the great explosion of births after World War II are mow in their 20’s and 20’s when they are most likely to set up families, he said.The fact that many are doing so increased the number of families from in 1980 to million in 1986 and past the 90 million mark last summer . At the same time, the average number of people per family dropped from in 1935 to in 1986 and then to ,Mr Gibson said.By parison, the 1970 Census found the average family contained people Families averaged more than four people in 1939 and more than five in 1880. The growing number of ever smaller families is still going on, but Mr Gibson pointed out that family growth was mot the same as population increase in the 1970’s. The same age factors (因素) that are increasing the number of families also happened then, but in the 1970’s the proportion(比例) of families in each age group was also growing .That has not continued in the 1980’s for a number of possible reasons, Mr Gibson said.For example, in the 1880’s more young people have chosen to remain home with their parents instead of setting up housekeeping on their own ,as many did in the 1970’s. This could be caused by the increasing cost of housing, he said. Delays in marriage while was not the only factor for the family changes. smaller figure of families reported here is ______.A．1980 B． 80,400,0。 s . ”“You are very careful and you may be right,” another doctor said. “we’ll carry out some tests and find out whether it39。(7)In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web（蜘蛛織網(wǎng)）. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal（目標(biāo)）you39。答案：B D C D(2)Daniel Boone was born in the United States in 1734. He didn39。s teeth are newly set.

Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21．2 seconds when she was only 16．The first‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller.
