"Home, sweet home" is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude
in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family
house is sweet or no sweet. The cherished ideal of home has great S1.________
importance for many people.
This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream,
dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century European settlers of the
American West, was to find a piece of place, build a house for one's S2.________
family, and started a farm. These small households were portraits of S3.________
independence: the entire family--mother, father, children, even
grandparents—live in a small house and working together to support S4.________
each other. Anyone understood the life and death importance of family S5.________
cooperation and hard work.
Although most people in the United States no longer live on
farms, but the ideal of home ownership is just as strong in the twentieth S6.________
century as it was in the nineteenth.
When U.S, soldiers came home before World War II, for S7.________
example, they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. But there S8.________
was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically
in the suburbs, were often small and more or less identical, but it S9.________
satisfied a deep need. Many regarded the single-family house the basis of S10.________
their way of life.

Thomas Malthus published his "Essay on the Principle of
Population" almost 200 years ago. Ever since then, forecasters
have being warning that worldwide famine was just around the S1________
next corner. The fast-growing population's demand for food,
they warned, would soon exceed their supply, leading to S2________
widespread food shortages and starvation.
But in reality, the world's total grain harvest has risen
steadily over the years. Except for relative isolated trouble spots S3________
like present-day Somalia, and occasional years of good harvests, S4________
the world's food crisis has remained just around the corner.
Most experts believe this can continue even as if the population S5________
doubles by the mid-21st century, although feeding 10 billion
people will not be easy for politics, economic and environmental S6________
reasons. Optimists point to concrete examples of continued
improvements in yield. In Africa, by instance, improved seed, S7________
more fertilizer and advanced growing practices have more than
double corn and wheat yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, rice S8________
experts in the Philippines are producing a plant with few stems S9_________
and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant breeders can
continue to develop new, higher-yielding crop, but most
researchers see their success to date as reason for hope. S10________

Culture refers to the social heritage of a people - the
learned patterns for thinking, feeling and acting that characterize
a population or society, include the expression of these S1._______
patterns in material things. Culture is compose of non-material S2._______
culture -abstract creations like values, beliefs, customs
and institutional arrangements and material culture -
physical object like cooking pots, computers and bathtubs. S3._______
In sum, culture reflects both the ideas we share or everything S4._______
we make. In ordinary speech, a person of culture is
the individual can speak another language - the person who S5._______
is unfamiliar with the arts, music, literature, philosophy, or S6._______
history. But to sociologists, to be human is to be cultured,
because of culture is the common world of experience we S7._______
share with other members of our group.
Culture is essentially to our humanness. It provides a S8._______
kind of map for relating to others. Consider how you find
your way about social life. How do you know how to act in a
classroom, or a department store, or toward a person who
smiles or laugh at you? S9._______
Your culture supplies you by broad, standardized, S10._______
ready-made answers for dealing with each of these situations.
Therefore, if we know a persons culture, we can understand
and even predict a good deal of his behavior.
