“The Lord of the Rings” , one of the best sellers in the new millennium (千年) , was made up of three parts－“The Fellowship of the Ring” , “Two Towers” , and “The Return of the King”． Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork．
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892． His parents died when he was a child． Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien's becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon．
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I． In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings． As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which in-cluded several writers． The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “ The Hobbit”．
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural class． Hobbits live in hillside holes． One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏儒)． On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible．
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft (草稿)． The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge, for a chil-dren's book would be his ten-year-old son． The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the ad-venture was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937．
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation． Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings” , a series of books so creative that they hold readers－new and old －after their publication．
a．He had his “The Hobbit” published．
b．He became a member of the Inklings．
c．He served in World War I．
d．He became an undergraduate at Oxford．
e．His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world．
f．He moved to England to live with his aunt．

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 ef?forts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better results without re?ally trying, says George Martine at Harvard.
Brazil’s population growth rate dropped from 2. 99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1. 93% a year between 198 land 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2. 7 chil?dren 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 (肥皂剧) and installment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in low?ering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest produc?ers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television net?work, 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 mes?sage towards the problems of reproduction, they describe mid?dle and upper class values: not many children, women work?ing, says Martine. They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behaviour and other values, which were put into a very attrac?tive 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 incom?patible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction," says Mar?tine.
1. According to the passage, Brazil has lowered its population growth ________.
A. by educating its citizens B. by careful family planning
C. by limiting birth rate D. by chance
2. According to the passage, many Third World countries
A. are unwilling to control the birth rate.
B. are willing to join Brazil in controlling their birth rate soon
C. haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their population
D. haven’t realized the importance of TV plays in family planning
3. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate be?cause ________.
A. they educate people.
B. they have gradually changed people’s way of life
C. people are drawn to their attractive package
D. they popularize birth control measures
4. What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?
A. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
B. The increase in birth rate will be controlled.
C. Consumption goes with reproduction.
D. A country ‘s production is limited by its population growth.
5. According to the passage, soap operas show that they have ____in the middle class.
A. one or two babies. B. many babies C. only a boy D. only a girl
