While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates，Brazil has had better result without really trying，says George Martine at Harvard.Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990，and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990，an achievement that makes it the envy of many other third world countries.Martine puts it down to，among other things，soap operas（通俗电视剧）and installment（分期付款）plans introduced in the 1970s.Both played an important，although indirect，role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Colobo，Brazil’s most popular television network，shows three hours of soaps six nights a week，while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction（生育），they describe middle and and upper class values —not many children，different attitudes towards sex，women working，”says Martine.“They sent this message to all parts of Brazil and made people realize other patterns of family life and other values，which were put into a very attractive package.”Meanwhile，the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers.“This led to change in consumption（消费）patterns and consumption did not get along well with unlimited reproduction，”says Martine.1.The phrase“puts it down to”（Line 1，Para 3）is closest in meaning to______.A.considers the cause of it to beB.finds it a reason forC.looks it on aspares it to2.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because______.A.they keep people sitting long hours watching TVB.they have gradually changed people’s way of lifeC.people are drawn to their attractive packageD.they make birth control measures popular3.What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?A.The increase in birth rate will increase consumtion.B.The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.C.Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.D.A country’s production is limited by its population growth.4.Which is the best title of the passage?A.Brazil：the developing world’s successB.Soap operas and installment plansC.Brazil：reducing birth rate by accidentD.Learn from Brazil，the third world countriesⅢ选词填空though/however/but1.She likes bread and milk a little，______ she doesn’t likes eggs at all.2.He said he would come，______ he didn’t.3.______ ，they did not seem to have much effect.ter，______ ，he decided not to leave here.tour/travel/voyage/journey5.His parents are on a ______ by ship now.6.The Grand Canyon is a day’s______ by car from here.7.He made a ______ around the Greek islands.8.______ in the mountains can be slow and dangerous.9.Did you go to Paris during your______ ?10.He came home after years of foreign______ .Ⅳ.汉译英1.他毕生过着贫穷的生活。
