It’s 8:00 am. James Butters gives 18-month-old Thomas his milk, then breakfast. After getting Thomas into his outdoor clothes, they head for the park to watch birds and play on the grass. With lunchtime drawing near, they’re back home for an afternoon of drawing, playing with cars, maybe watching some children’s programs.
James isn’t Thomas’ dad. He is a nanny (保姆)—a man nanny, obviously, interestingly termed a "manny"—specially trained and in his third nannying position. At 27, he cares for Thomas, and another boy of a similar age. "It’s much freer than an office job," he says, "and you’re getting to see children develop and grow. You become very close to them, for sure. I don’t think I’m special or better than a woman nanny; everyone has their own method. But I’m unusual.
Friends laughed when I started studying nursery nursing. In my class, I was the only man among 70 women. Somehow, I made it," he said.
Although it’s not yet common to find men in traditional (传统的) nannying courses, things are changing. In the United States, parents are employing young mannies, sometimes to care for babies, but more often as active role models to get junior away from the TV and the computer. From rollerblading (轮滑) friends to summer swimming mannies, these are the big brothers who are always willing to play, largely because they’re paid for it.
It is catching on here in Britain, too. Earlier this year, Norland nanny college welcomed its first full-time man student, 19-year-old Peter Cummins in Wales. While some families find it difficult to accept the idea of a young man in a traditional nannying role, man nannies are increasingly popular.
Who’s going to become a new man nanny soon?
选项
A、James Butters.
B、Peter Cummins.
C、Thomas.
D、Norland.
答案
B
解析
推理题。题干意为“谁很快将会成为新的男保姆?”根据文章最后一段中的“Norland nanny college welcomed…”,可以得出Peter Cummins即将成为男保姆。故B是正确的答案。故B正确。
