Brazil has become one of the developing world’s 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.

　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.

　Martine puts it down to, among 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 world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, 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.

　“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values-not many children, different attitudes towards life, women working,” says Martine. “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people aware of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”

1.According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth _____.

2.What can you infer from the passage about many Third World countries ?

3.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because ______.

Carnival (狂欢节) is the most famous holiday in Brazil. It is not about an important time in history or about a famous person, but it is important for the people because it’s a time of friendship, freedom, and almost a whole week without work. People can have parties or have a rest, and most people choose parties, day after day, night after night. It starts forty days before Easter (复活节). It lasts four days and four nights. It starts on Saturday and finishes on Wednesday. People wear their colourful clothes and go out into the streets or to the clubs. There are also groups of people who make a parade (游行) showing their music and cars. Every year the parade tells a different story. Each city has at least one group like this.

In the south, life returns to normal by Wednesday. However, it is not accepted by the church in the northwest, where Carnival is more common. There people don’t respect its end and continue to have parties until the next Sunday.

I like Carnival, but I don’t agree that the party should keep going on for so many days. Unfortunately, some people aren’t responsible and give it a bad name, and that makes people remember the bad things about this. However, it is the only national holiday that brings together the whole country and its different people and cultures.

1.Why is Carnival important for the people in Brazil?

A. Because it’s a time of friendship and freedom.

B. Because it’s about an important time in history.

C. Because it’s a time of almost a whole month without work.

D. Because it’s a time to remember a famous person.

2.People choose ways to celebrate Carnival EXCEPT_____________.

A. having parties　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. having a rest

C. making a parade　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. going shopping

3.In the following descriptions of Carnival, which one is NOT true?

A. It starts forty days before Easter.

B. It starts on Saturday and finishes on Thursday.

C. There are groups of people who make a parade showing their music and cars.

D. Every year the parade tells a different story.

4.What does the author think of Carnival?

A. The author doesn’t care for Carnival.

B. The author never joins in Carnival.

C. The author does not like Carnival.

D. The author likes Carnival, but he doesn’t agree the party goes on so many days.

That China will not play in the Football World Cup has not prevented Chinese soccer fans from taking part in the exhilaration of the sports gala in Russia. Reports say Chinese fans have bought over 40,000 tickets, more than Spanish and English fans. They have also booked 16 percent of the hotel rooms in the host cities in Russia. Except for actually playing, China will take part in almost every other aspect of the World Cup. Chinese companies have made the balls to be used in the World Cup and the official mascot Zabivaka. And the air-conditioning system in the newly built Mordovia Stadium in Saransk has been provided by Chinese companies as well. Fans can also get World Cup special coins that are made in Nanjing.

“It is no secret that China has a key role in our plan to develop football around the globe. It must play.” said FIFA secretary-general Fatma Samoura during her visit to Beijing last year. FIFA has set a target of making 60 percent of the world’s population take part in soccer by 2026. And China, thanks to its huge population, will play an important role in realizing that goal. Although China is ranked between 80 to 90 in the world soccer standing, it has more than 200 million soccer fans. Moreover, ten Chinese super league players are making Chinese fans proud by shouldering national duty for their countries in the World Cup.

China has almost all the conditions needed for the healthy development of soccer. Hopefully, the World Cup will encourage the decision-makers to focus on ordinary people to develop the sport. In the 1950s, the government at various levels built a large number of ping-pong tables in urban residential communities, which attracted a large number of people to play ping-pong. The result is that China remains the best in the sport. But even in Beijing, where public sports facilities are the most developed in the country, children find it hard to get a chance to play in the limited number of soccer fields. If the government wants to raise the level of soccer in China, they should first improve the soccer facilities in the country.

1.Which of the following can best explain the underlined word ?

A. Disappointment.　　 B. Thrill.

C. Embarrassment.　　 D. Regret.

2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. China will contribute a lot to the development of football.

B. Chinese football fans are the most influential in the world.

C. China’s football teams will improve greatly by 2026.

D. China’s Super League will attract the best football players in the world.

3.Why is ping-pong mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. To show how well the Chinese can play ping-pong.

B. To set an example of how to develop a sport among ordinary people.

C. To attract more people to play ping-pong.

D. To indicate that soccer is less popular than ping-pong.

4.From which is the text probably taken?

A. An advertisement.　　 B. A daily newspaper.

C. A research paper.　　 D. A travel guidebook.
