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. "
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.

选项 A、French people are superior to Americans
B、French food is better than French wine.
C、French people are admirable
D、French food is tasty

答案D

解析 推断题。各位同学切记,推断题一定要有根有据。题目问,从第一段我们可以推断出什么结论,因此答案必须在该段找,不能跑过界。文章第一段说,“我们(美国人)羡慕法国人的美食和美酒以及大吃大喝仍能保持苗条身材的能力,但是否应该钦佩法国人为人父母之道呢?”由这一段可以推断出来的是选项D,“法国食物很美味”。而选项A“法国人比美国人优秀”,选项C“法国人令人钦佩”都把范围扩大泛化了,而选项C“法国食物比法国酒更好”也是牵强附会,张冠李戴,不是正确答案。
