You won’t catch Muffy Mead-Ferro at a toddler fitness class, When it comes to enriching after-school activities, she’s not ferrying her kids to traveling soccer or French lessons either. She lets them amuse themselves in a mud puddle in the backyard instead. This Salt Lake City mother of two says she isn’t feeling a shard of guilt about her choices. "We’ve raised the bar too high on parenting," she says, "And squeezed out all the fun. Someone has to say, ’Stop the Madness’."
Last spring, Mead-Ferro published her manifesto, "Confessions of a Slacker Mom," which called on women everywhere to park the mini-van, bow out of the childrearing sweepstake and lighten up. With Confessions of a Slacker Wife ( due our from DaCapo in April) she’s trying to bring some downtime to domestic life, too.
The problem, as Mead-Ferro sees it, is that too many well-heeled, well-educated and otherwise sensible women are driving themselves and each other crazy. After years of competing in the work force, they’re mistakenly bringing the same zeal to child rearing and housekeeping as they did to their jobs. Domestic standards popularized by women’s magazines and Madison Avenue, she argues, have gotten too high. It’s not enough to keep crumbs off the kitchen counters, these days you have to keep the counters bacteria free. "And you can’t just make a lemon pie like June Cleaver," she says. "These days you have to use Meyer lemons."
Mead-Ferro began searching for a better way seven years ago when she began her own family and found that her work life ( she was a successful advertising copywriter) didn’t jibe with the idealized home life she thought she wanted. Instead of recreating herself as Supermom and Domestic Goddess, Mead-Ferro opted to become a woman like her own late mother, who raised three kids while running the haying machine and branding cattle on the family’s sprawling cattle ranch in Wyoming. "The floors weren’t spotless. Dinner wasn’t fancy," she says. "My mother just didn’t have the time, the focus or the inclination to put on that kind of show." [br] In the third paragraph, by saying "It’s not enough to keep crumbs off the kitchen counters, these days you have to keep the counters bacteria free.", the author is suggesting that ______.
选项
A、we should keep the counter absolutely clean.
B、we were doing something we are not able to.
C、we get clean to prepare for a lemon pie.
D、a well-wheeled and well educated woman may do this.
答案
B
解析
推理题。“It’s not enough to keep crumbs off the kitchen counters,these days you have to keep the counters bacteria free.“这句话的意思是:”保持厨房台面上没有任何碎屑是不够的,现在你还必须保持这些台面不受细菌的侵害。“,这一点,无论谁都无能为力,所以正确答案是B。
