Mothers really do favour their "precious first boms" over the children they have later, research has found.
Among examples of attention lavished(慷慨给予)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 Born 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.
According to the passage, the terms PFB and NSCs______.
选项
A、were created by the members of Mumsnet
B、are quite popular among American parents
C、were named the word of 2009 by a U. S. website
D、can be found in traditional U. S. dictionaries like Webster
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由定位句可知,宝贝老大(PFB)和可怜的弟弟妹妹,即“被忽略的老小”(NSCs),这两种说法是育儿网站“Mumsnet”的成员创造的,故A)为本题答案。要注意定位句中的coin在这里作动词用,意为“杜撰,设计(新单词或短语)”。B)“在美国父母中非常流行”、C)“被美国的一家网站评为2009年年度词语”及D)“可以在像韦伯词典这样的美国传统词典中找到”的内容在原文中没有提及,也无法由原文推知,故排除。
