章节摘录
版权页: 35. We can infer from the last paragraph that [A] upturned noses will soon be considered beautiful [B] defects in facial features may someday be appealing [C] plastic-surgery is a well-developed industry [D] people should be confident of their appearance Text 4 Rosalie Mushta is trying, really trying, to figure out this swaddling thing. Shehas a plastic doll to practice on, but the baby blanket just won't cooperate. Hospitalshave been offering crash courses on how to care for newborns for many years, and onething expectant parents learn is that getting a simple square of fabric to stay tightlycocooned around a baby--even a fake one--is surprisingly difficult. But Mushtadidn't go to Seattle's Swedish Medical Center to prepare for the birth of her first child.She's there because she's about to become a grandmother and her daughter wanted todisabuse her of many outdated notions about raising kids. "It kind of took me aback," Mushta, 64, a retired executive assistant, says ofbeing asked to attend a grandparenting class. But she agreed to go, she says aftersetting aside her clumsily wrapped baby doll, because "I wanted my daughter to feelcomfortable that I would do things her way. " In the long, often passive-aggressive history of generational conflict over childrearing, there have been gentle reminders, willful ignorance, more emphatic reminders, stealthily supervised visits and, in the most extreme cases, unaccepted offers tobabysit. But the rise of grandparenting classes represents a marked shift amongparents from attempting to lecture their forebears to hiring experts to do the lecturingfor them. Revenue-hungry hospitals, particularly in larger cities, are eager to take onthis role. Swedish Medical, which increased the frequency of its grandparenting classes from every other month to twice a month; offers a three-hour grandparenting classas part of its $ 275 Welcome Baby package, which includes seminars on consciousfathering, sibling preparation, coping with confidence and other topics guaranteed tomake mothers-in-law roll their eyes. Family harmony is the ultimate goal, but much of grandparenting classes dealwith down-in-the-trenches details like how to change a diaper and when to introducecereals. But perhaps the biggest source of generational friction is over how to put ababy to bed. The medical community used to tell parents to lay babies on theirstomachs but did an about-face after decades of research showed that babies have agreater chance of dying from sudden infant death syndrome when sleeping on theirstomachs than on their backs. Yet tales of baby-flipping grandparents still aboundonline, as do complaints about their I-raised-you-and-you-turned-out-OK defense. "It's like saying ' I smoked cigarettes for 40 years, and I'm fine !'" one mom griped thissummer on BabyCenter. com.
