解析

步骤 1：理解背景信息
在过去的巴西，家庭规模比现在大得多。在1990年代，家庭规模突然减少。这背后的原因是什么？在过去，人们在二十出头的时候就开始组建家庭。今天，许多年轻人首先去上学和工作，然后才结婚和组建家庭。在1980年，只有大约一半的家庭拥有电视。今天，大多数家庭都有电视，而且晚上播出的电视剧非常受欢迎。这些电视剧中的男女都是单身或有小家庭，他们过着令人兴奋的生活。观看的人们也想要这样的生活。
步骤 2：填空
根据上述背景信息，我们可以确定填空的答案。在1990年代，家庭规模突然减少，因此第一个空格应填“decreased”。在过去，人们在二十出头的时候就开始组建家庭，因此第二个空格应填“started families”。在1980年，只有大约一半的家庭拥有电视，因此第三个空格应填“half of”。今天，大多数家庭都有电视，而且晚上播出的电视剧非常受欢迎，因此第四个空格应填“popular”。这些电视剧中的男女都是单身或有小家庭，因此第五个空格应填“family”。
