43、 Brazil has become one of the developing worlds great successes at 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. Brazils pop
44、ulation 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
45、 countries. Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas 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 televisio
46、n 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 m
47、iddle and upper class values-not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working, “says Martine. “They sent this image to all pans of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive pack age.“ Meanwhile, the install
48、ment plans tried to encourage the 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. 54 According to the passage ,Brazil has cut back its population growth _. （ A） by educating its cit
