trying, saying 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 and family 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 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 the values of middle and upper classnot 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 family plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. “ this led to a great change in consumption patterns and consumption,” says martine.24. how has brazil reduced population growth?a. by introducing the high life in big cities.b. by learning from others.c. by developing tv programs.d. by chance.25. when did the soap operas and

countries tried to learn from brazil.b. the increase in the birth rate in brazil is the smallest in the world.c. the desire for consumption helps reduce the birth rate.d. soap operas played a less useful role than the family plans in birth control.27. what led to great changes in brazilian consumption patterns and consumption?a. the soap operas.b. the family plans.c. the life of upper class.d.
