7．As you probably know，J．Paul Getty was one of the richest and moat successful American industrialists in history．Quite ambitious from an early age，Getty made his first million at age 23in 1916．He later went on to found the Getty oil company，In 1957，Fortune magazine named him the richest living American and in 1966，the Guinness Book of Records named him as the world's richest private citizen．
Although he is highly regarded by vast numbers of people for his financial success，as a younger man，his drive to acquire power and money had a detrimental impact on other aspects of his life，particularly in his relationships with women．He was，at one point quoted assaying"A lasting relationship with a woman is only possible if you are a business failure．"He married five times，having children with four of these wives．He couldn't seem to keep a marriage going for very long．His obsession with having a fortune and power alienated （疏远） each of his wives，eventually driving them away． His marriage with his first wife Jeanette lasted for only three years，with Allene for two years，Adolphine，four years，Ann，four years，and finally Louise，nineteen years．
Perhaps as a young man，Getty was willing to pay whatever price for financial success．Yet Paul came to feel some regret in regard to his life priorities as he approached his later years when he Wrote："I hate and regret the failure of my marriages．I would gladly give all of my millions for just one lasting marriage success．"

Spielberg was born in the state of Ohio，America，in 1946．He showed that he had unusual abilities when he was very young，completing his first 15-minute home movie at the age of 13．When he was 16he made a 135-minute home movie called Firelight．This was shown at a local cinema and made﹩100．
At the age of 24，Spielberg made a 26-minute film called Amblin．A Hollywood film studio liked it and employed Spielberg to make a full-length film．This film，Sugarland Express，made in 1974，had some success．Spielberg's next film was Jaws，a film about a shark that ate people．This was one of the most successful films of all time．Other wonderful films followed：E．T．-The Extra Terrestrial （1982），The Indiana Jones Trilogy，Jurassic Park （a film about dinosaurs），and Schindler's List．For the last film Spielberg won an Oscar，Hollywood's highest prize．

11．Not long ago，people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old．Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life．
Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced¹ by their environment．They say a baby will smile if his mother does something the baby likes．A baby learns to get the best care by smiling to please his mother or other caregivers．This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings．
A study shows how mothers can influence social development and language skills in their children．
Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years．The researchers tried to measure the sensitivity² of the mothers．The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children's activities and did not get involved unnecessarily．They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old．Also，the researchers observed the women for signs of depression．
The children of depressed³ women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression．The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear．
1．influence：to affect the way people behave or think
2．sensitivity：the ability to understand other people's feelings
3．depressed：very sad and without hope

8．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 1951and 1960to 1.93% a year between 1981and 1990，and Brazilian women now have only 2.7children 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 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（生育），they describe middle and upper class values：not 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 installment 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．

By chance．/By accident
82．What are the two main factors in helping Brazil lower its birthrate？（ No more than 8words ）    （2marks）

Brazil has successfully reduced its population growth．．
