2014届高三英语二轮专题复习拔高训练：社会保健类阅读理解26 1.请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 This is World Breastfeeding Week. The celebration is now in its nineteenth year. It grew out of a meeting organized by UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) to find ways to support breastfeeding. Jill Hall supports breastfeeding. In fact, she could be feeding her son right now. She gave birth to Thomas ― or Tiggy, as his parents call him ― at a hospital in Washington. They live in nearby McLean, Virginia. Mother’s milk is all Tiggy has eaten since he was born six weeks ago. And it will be all he eats for the first six months. His mother plans to follow the advice of the World Health Organization. Jill Hall says, “ As you can see I can’t tell right now whether he wants to eat more or whether he needs to burp, so we might try the burping.” Six-week-old babies generally need to be breastfeed seven to nine times in a twenty-four-hour period. Jill Hall has two stepdaughters, but Thomas is her first experience with breastfeeding. And, in her words, “ It’s going great.” Jill Hall says, “ It’s pretty natural. You can learn from each other, mom and baby, how it’s all going to work. And that can take a little bit of trial and error. Josie Tullo knows all about that. She works for a lactation (哺乳期) consulting group in Fairfax, Virginia. She has more than twenty years of experience advising mothers. But she says babies themselves are great guides to nursing. Josie Tullo says, “ When babies are born, babies have an instinctive need and they’re hard-wired to breastfeed. So basically, if we were to place a baby on the mother’s abdomen, the baby would actually crawl up the mother’s chest and choose which breast it would like to latch on to. The baby will open its mouth twice, the second time with a nice wide mouth, and learn to grasp the breast. That’s the mother’s cue (暗示) to hug the baby to the breast.” Doctor Bernadette Daelmans is an expert on newborn and child health development for the World Health Organization. She offer
