第16练　阅读理解＋七选五 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A With technology reducing distance every day，many moms now prefer announcing the birth of their child through social media channels like Facebook.Though that isn’t entirely wrong，etiquette (礼节) expects otherwise.Paper announcements are still the way to go.Most stationery (文具；办公用品) shops have ready－made announcements that require you to only fill out the details of your child.If you know the gender of your baby，selecting the right color combination is easier.However，you can keep that for later or go for a neutral (中立的) color such as yellow. The wording for a birth announcement is very simple.Start the announcement with a meaningful phrase or quote as introduction.Follow it up by announcing the birth of your child，his/her full name，birth date，birth time，height，weight，and place of birth.End the announcement by writing names of the parents. You have six months to send the announcements.Though most people stick to the “earlier the better” rule，we suggest somewhere around the end of the second month.With roughly 8 weeks behind you，you’re more at ease by then.Also，you have more time to understand the baby’s nature，which does play a part in designing the announcement at times.Around this time，you can get better photographs of the baby as well. Send the announcement to as many people as you want such as relatives，colleagues，friends，and even a few acquaintances；don’t hold back.It’s better to send it to more people than sending it out to a few，and missing out on someone.Get the mailing list in order so that you don’t waste time making it later. 【语篇解读】　婴儿出生，作为父母，最好的礼节是书面形式正式地通告各位亲友、同仁和熟人。本文谈到了具体而体面的操作方法。 1．How should Mr and Mrs Carter end their child birth announcement?
