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.
Concerning mothers’ hygiene practices, what can be inferred from the passage?
选项
A、Every mother applies distinctive methods.
B、Each mother complies with different standards.
C、Not every mother does the job conscientiously.
D、Mothers’ practices vary from one child to another.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。联系后文可知,孩子的东西掉在地上之后,妈妈们在做老大的卫生保健时,会将老大用的东两进行消毒或杀菌;在为老二做卫生保健时,用干净的湿布擦擦就行了;而在做老三的卫生保健时,让狗把脏东西舔干净就行了。因此,在谈论这个问题时,原文强调的是妈妈对老大的偏爱,而不是在强调每个妈妈采用的不同的“方法”、“标准”和“态度”,故排除A)、B)和C)。由定位句呵知,妈妈对老大和老小的卫生保健不同,故D)为答案。
