问题    As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
   No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to their children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law , Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study from grandparents, com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
   "In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own, " says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. " We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children. "
   Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
选项 A、Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B、Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C、Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D、Get to know themselves better.
答案A
解析 推理判断题。最后一段首句“Moving is not for everyone．”已经说明“移居并非适合每一个人”，而且由下文“Having your grandchildren…you know may be harder．”可知“(祖父母)得知孩子们在异地艰苦的生活很难过，但(祖父母)放弃自己熟悉的生活也许会更难过”，所以推断出作者建议作选择时要慎重，要以自己最大的需求为衡量标准。
