Mothers really do favour their "precious first borns" over the children they have later, research has found.
Among examples of attention lavished on the " precious first borns"(PFBs)were tales of how mothers rubbed shampoo into their own eyes before using it on their baby to ensure it wouldn’t sting, and pulling their prams(婴儿车)backwards for miles to keep the sun off their adored offspring.
While they will conscientiously disinfect(消毒)everything that comes into contact with their PFB and change them up to 150 times a week, their later children have to make do with items licked clean by the dog and stew(炖,焖)in their own juices until their parents are ready to deal with them.
The term PFB and its poorer sibling the Neglected Subsequent Children(NSCs)were coined by members of the parenting website Mumsnet.
Among the tales reported was one of a mother that used a hairdryer on her baby’s bottom after changing her.
" She was chatting to her neighbor and asked if they were ever disturbed by her crying. "
"The neighbor assured her they were not, but that they had been woken once or twice by what sounded like a hairdryer. "
Another self-obsessed mother turned down an invitation of a friend and her baby’s christening party because she thought her own child’s " total gorgeousness would show their baby up and make them feel bad".
Another confirmed the differing hygiene(卫生学)practices used for Child One and Two, saying: "First child, suckable items must be disinfected in Milton or steam after they’re dropped on the floor. Second child: items must be wiped over with a clean damp cloth. Third child: give them to the dog to lick clean. "
Justine Roberts, co-founder of Mumsnet, told the reporters that most mothers would agree they treated the first child differently to later children.
"Precious First Bom syndrome is something we can all relate to—most mums will confess to having checked on their sound asleep firstborns several times a night, while neglected subsequent children are liable to bawl for an age before we even notice," she said. [br] The passage is mainly talking about______.
选项
A、the fact that mothers really do favour their first children
B、tales of how mothers treat the firstborns differently to later children
C、the reason why mothers favour their firstborns over the subsequent children
D、phenomena that have some connection with Precious First Born syndrome
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。在解答主旨题时,要着重注意原文的首段和末段。由原文首段定位句可知,妈妈确实偏爱老大;末段的前半句也说明很多现象都与“宝贝老大”这种情结有关。但无论是原文中列举的事例还是谈到的现象都是为了证明一个事实:妈妈偏爱自己的第一个孩子,故A)为本题答案。B)和D)与原文意思不符,故排除;至于妈妈为何偏爱自己的第一个孩子的原因原文并没有提及,故排除C)。
