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% 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 worlds biggest producers of soap operas.Colobo，Brazils 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 valuesnot 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.37.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 asD.compares it to答案：A推理题。put sth. down to；归结的原因是。由二、三自然段的关系可以推出A。38.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazils birth rate because_.A.they keep people sitting long hours watching TVB.they have gradually changed peoples way of lifeC.people are drawn to their attractive packageD.they make birth control measures popular答案：B根据全文倒数第二自然段推出。肥皂剧中的中上层阶级的家庭观念少生孩子，妇女参加工作等等，使巴西人慢慢地改
