18、g worlds great successes at reducing population growthbut more by accident than design. 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.Brazils population growth rate has dropped from 2.99
19、% 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
20、 other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧) 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 worlds biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazils most popular television network, shows three hours of
21、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, they describe middle and upper class values not
22、many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working,” says Martine. “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the
23、poor to become consumers. “This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction.” Says Martine.41According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth _.Aby educating its citizens Bby careful family planningCby devel
24、oping TV programs Dby chance42According to the passage, many Third World countries _.Ahavent attacked much importance to birth controlBwould soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rateChavent yet found an effective measure to control their populationDneglected the role of TV plays in family pla

27、ven, Tommy did not hurry straight round to Mrs. Blakeys house with the note. Reading the toy-shop window with its decorated Christmas tree, he could not tear himself away from it until he had spent ten minutes staring at the gift he most wanted: a gun that fired corks. Where the road began to run do

32、e cried, and without waiting for an answer, “What did Mrs. Blakey say?”Tommy told her.“All right, youd better come with me,” Mrs Hendry saidAnd so once again Tommy found himself on the downhill road to Mrs. Blakeys.At about the same moment that Mrs. Hendry and her son Tommy reached Mrs. Blakeys door
33、, Mrs. Blakey herself, having taken a different road, was waiting outside the Hendrys home, wondering why there was no answer to her knock. Who could blame her for thinking that the torn note was an invitation to tea at the Hendrys, instead of which Mrs. Hendry had in fact been asking herself out to

To the best of my belief, it is of great benefit.First, keeping an English diary can help to develop English writing skill, a very important par
83、t in learning English. Second, it is a good way to adjust ourselves to a good mood, especially when there isnt anybody whom you could turn to for listening. Third, it can help you keep your own secret since many of the parents cannot understand English. Besides, it helps to keep a record of how a pe

Start to form the habit immediately, the sooner, the better.Disadvantages of keeping a diary:There is an argument on whether it is good to keep an En
85、glish diary or not. In my opinion, it is of no use at all.First, it does little good to your English writing, since as a very private thing, you cannot present it to your teacher for any writing suggestion. Thus you may be more and more uncertain about the language use. Second, in relation to your g
86、eneral English level, it is difficult to express your feelings completely in English. Consequently, it does little in helping yourselves feel any change in moodMoreover, it might further prevent yourselves from talking freely to your friends, who may think you dont trust them.All in all, it is a waste of time to keep an English diary. Communicate with your teachers or chat with your friends.
