Text 1
It"s 8:00 am. James Butters gives 18-month-old Thomas his milk, then breakfast. After get-ting 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 aftemoon 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 Thom-
as, and another boy of a similar age. "It"s much freer than an office job, " he says, " and you"regetting to see children develop and grow. You become very close to them, for sure. I don"t think"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, thingsare changing. In the United States, parents are employing young mannies, sometimes to care forbabies, but more often as active role modelsto get junior away from the TV and the computer.From rollerblading (轮滑) friends to summer swimming mannies, these are the big brothers whoare 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 firstfull-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.
56. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
[A] Changes in Tradition
[B]A New Job for Men
[C] Mannies and Women Nannies
[D]Baby Boys and Their Mannies请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:B
第三部分阅读理解参考译文Textl早上8:00。詹姆斯?巴特斯给18个月的托马斯喂奶,喂早饭。詹姆斯给托马斯穿上户外装,一起去公园看鸟,到草地上玩耍。临近午饭的时候,他们回家。下午,他们画画、玩小汽车或者是观看儿童节目。詹姆斯不是托马斯的父亲。他是保姆,很明显是男保姆,像他这样的人被称作“manny”。他经受过专门训练,这是他的第三份保姆工作了。今年27岁的他照看托马斯和另外一个与托马斯年龄相仿的小男孩。“这比在公司上班自由多了,”他说,“你能看到孩子们是怎么成长的。你能和他们走得很近。我想我不比女保姆特殊或是更好;每个人都有自己的方法。但我没有特别的地方。我刚开始学保育员的时候,朋友们都笑话我。我是班里唯一的男生,女生则有70名。不管怎样,我成功了。”尽管男性学习传统的保育员课程并不多见,但是如今情况有所改变。在美国,父母雇佣年轻的男保姆来照看孩子,更多时候,他们想让男保姆树立积极的榜样,让孩子远离电视和计算机。从轮滑朋友到夏季游泳的保姆,孩子们都能找到愿意陪他们玩的大哥哥,很大原因是男保姆有钱可赚。男保姆在英国也变得流行起来。今年早些时候,诺兰德保姆学院招收了第一位男学生,他就是来自威尔士的皮特?康明斯。虽然很多家庭很难接受年轻男性充当保姆角色,但男保姆受欢迎程度在逐渐提高。56.B【精析】主旨题。题干意为“以下哪项最适合作为文章的标题?”本文一上来就介绍了男保姆詹姆斯?巴特斯照管幼儿托马斯,后文又讲述了男保姆逐渐流行起来。不难看出本文的主题是保姆作为一种新的男性职业开始逐渐盛行。故选B。
