听力原文： It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among the students. Between the hours of 11:00 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
Actually, soap operas are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high school students are in front of their TV sets, waiting for the programs. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. The soap operas have become part of people's lives. During the 1960s,it was uncommon for young*people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.
Now, scri0usness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap operas, which are known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap operas are enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap operas give young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.

A．Plays based on science fiction stories.
B．Plays based on non-fiction stories.
C．The daytime serial dramas on TV.
D．Popular documentary films on TV.

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 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.

Unless you're using a germicidal soap, it usually doesn't kill the bacteria soap simply removes bacteria along with dirt and oil. Neither baths nor showers are all that necessary and unless you're in a Third World country where infectious diseases are common, or you have open sores on your skin, the dirt and bacteria aren't going to hurt. The only reason for showering or bathing is to feel clean and refreshed. There is a physiological basis for this relaxed feeling. Your limbs become slightly buoyant in bathwater, which takes a load off muscles and tension. Moreover, if the water is hotter than normal body temperature, the body attempts to shed heat by expanding the blood vessels near the surface of the skin, lessening the circulatory system's resistance to blood flow, and dropping blood pres sure gently. A bath is also the most effective way to hydrate the skin. The longer you soak, the more water gets into the skin and because soap lowers the surface tension of the water, it helps you hydrate rapidly and remove dry skin flakes.
However, in a bath, all the dirt and grime and the soap in which it's suspended float on the surface. So when you stand up, it covers your body like a film. The real solution is to take a bath and then rinse off with a shower, however, after leaving a tub or freshly ex posed skin becomes a playground for microbes. In two hours, you probably have as many bacteria on certain parts of the body, such as the armpits, as before the bath.
The statement "Americans bathe zealously" (Line 1, Para. 1) is closest to saying.
A．Americans bathe wastefully
B．Americans are rather ambivalent to bathing
C．Americans bathe with intense enthusiasm
D．Americans bathe too much
