Brazil has become one of the developing world" s great successes in reducing population
growth but 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.
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.
According to Martine, both soap operas and instalment(分期付款) plans played an important role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world" s biggest producers of soap operas. Global, 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.
"They described that middle and upper class values not many children and women
working. They influenced all parts of Brazil. " says Martine
Meanwhile,the instalment plans tired to encourage he poor to become consume(消费者).
“This led  to a  great change  in  consumption  patterns  and  consumption  went against  unlimited reproduction (生育)." says Martine.
53.  Brazil has cut its  population ,growth____.
A. by education    B.  by family plan   C. by TV program   D. by chance
54.  Some Third World countries
A. have paid little attention to birth control
B. would soon join Brazilin controlling their birth rate.
C. haven"t succeeded in controlling the population
D. didn"t realize the role of TV plays  in  family  planning
55.  Soap operas have helped to lower Brazil"s birth  rate  because____.
A. they keep people sitting long hour watching TV
B. they have gradually changed people"s way of life
C. people are interested in the stories
D. they make birth control popular
56. What is Martine"s conclusion about Brazil"s population growth?
A. The rising in birth rate will increase consumption.
B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
C. consumption has nothing to do with reproduction.
D. Soap operas can always lead to low birth rate.

One factor that can influence consumers is their mood(情绪) state. Mood may be described ____21____ a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is generalized and not tied to any particular circumstance. Moods should be ____22____ from feelings which are usually much more stronger ____23____ to specific circumstances, and often conscious. In one sense, the effect of a consumer’s mood can be thought of in ____24____ the same way as our reactions to the ____25____ of our friends — when our friends are happy and “up”, that tends to influence us positively, but when they are “down”, that can have a negative impact on us. ____26____, consumers operating under a given mood state tend to react to stimuli(刺激因素) in a direction consistent with that mood state. Thus, for example, we should expect to see consumers in a positive mood state evaluate products in more of a ____27____ manner than they would when not in such a state. Moreover, mood states appear able to enhance(增强) a consumer’s memory.
Moods appear to be readily influenced by marketing ____28____. For example, the rhythm(节奏), pitch, and volume of music has been shown to influence behavior such as ____29____ of time spent in supermarkets or intention to purchase products. In addition, advertising can influence consumer’s moods which, in ____30____, are more likely to influence consumers’ reactions to products.

  One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.

When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to go to face the music.” It doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert.

An actor might be frightened or  51  as he moved on to the stage in front of him. The audience might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially  52 he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So, “to face the music”  53  to mean: having to go  54 something, no matter how unpleasant the 55  might be, because you knew you had no choice.
