问题     We covet their food, their wine and their confounding ability to stay slim while consuming both...but should we be admiring the French for their parenting skills, as well?
    In her very buzzy new book, " Bringing Up Bebe," American mom and Paris resident Pamela Druckerman makes the argument that the French have a leg up on rearing their children.
    " There’s something about the way the French parent that makes it less of a grind and more of a pleasure," writes Druckerman, a former Wall Street Journal reporter. She cites a 2009 study finding mothers in Ohio think caring for their children is far less pleasant than mothers in Rennes, France.
    What exactly do French parents do that’s so different from their American counterparts? A few examples:
    Teaching kids patience and self-control through delayed gratification: French parents teach their children to wait for what they want from an early age-for a few minutes, usually -instead of immediately giving into kids’ demands.
    "I’m now convinced that the secret of why French kids rarely whine or collapse into tantrums(发脾气)—or at least do so less than American kids—is that they’ve developed the internal resources to cope with frustration," Druckerman writes.
    Sleep training often begins at birth: In France, babies are expected to be sleeping through the night by the time they’re four months old. Parents don’t ignore their babies’ cries but they do pause before responding to them.
    " French parents believe it’s their job to gently teach babies to sleep well," she writes. "They don’t view being up half the night with an eight-month-old as a sign of parental commitment.
    They don’t give in to guilt over spending time away from their kids; French women, believe that " it’s unhealthy for mothers and children to spend all their time together. ... Children—even babies and toddlers—get to cultivate their inner lives without a mother’s constant interference. "
Druckerman cites the 2009 study in order to show that______.
选项 A、French parents are more friendly to their children
B、American parents love their children very much
C、French parents are more skillful
D、American parents enjoy caring for children
答案C
解析 推断题。各位同学请记住，文中的例子必然是为某论点服务的，而通常说来，这个论点必然在例子之前或紧跟例子之后出现。结合本题，紧跟在此例子之后的是问句，不太可能是论点，由此可以判断之前的一句是主题句：“There’s something about the way the Frenchparent that makes it less of a grind and more of a pleasure．”这句的意思是，“法国父母的为人父母之道使得养孩子不是那么痛苦，更多的是一种愉悦”，因此可知选项C“法国父母更有方法和策略”是正确答案。
