问题     If you’re relying on Grandma to help with child care, it’s time to reconsider. A new study of more than 54 000 women found that those who watched their grandkids 9 hours a week or more were 55% more likely to have a heart attack. These women may have less time to take care of their own health, says lead author Sunmin Lee, ScD, of the Harvard School of Public Health. Younger kids may pose more risk because they need more care.
    "However willing your mom might seem, it’s up to you to figure out how much she can really handle," says Meredith Minkler, DrPH, a public-health professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and an expert on grandparents as caregivers. "It’s not just about physical health. Older adults need time to connect with people of their own age. Social isolation is a major risk factor for illness." If your mom helps out, make sure she has breaks during the day, as well as "vacations" at regular intervals.  

选项 A、grandparents take care of younger children
B、young people be careful about their parents
C、old women spend more time taking care of their own health
D、child care by grandmas be considered

答案C

解析 这篇文章讲的是年轻人如果要父母帮忙照看孩子,要适可而止,因为老人应当照顾好自己的身体。注意:注意第一段的it’s time to reconsider 的语气。
