A. She is 57 years old.
B. She is 53 years old.
C. She is 54 years old.

[简答题]Grandma took it for granted that food prices would rise, so she bought a lot of rice.

[单项选择]Grandma, what a big and fickle metaphor you can be! For children, the name translates as "the magnificent one with presents in her suitcase who thinks I’m a genius if I put my shoes on the right feet, and who stuffs me with cookies the moment my parents’ backs are turned."
In news reports, to call a woman "grandmotherly" is shorthand for "kindly, frail, harmless, keeper of the family antimacassars, and operationally past tense."
For anthropologists and ethnographers of yore, grandmothers were crones, an impediment to "real" research. The renowned ethnographer Charles William Merton Hart, who in the 1920’s studied the Tiwi hunter-gatherers of Australia, described the elder females there as "a terrible nuisance" and "physically quite revolting" and in whose company he was distressed to find himself on occasion, yet whose activities did not merit recording or analyzing with anything like the attention he paid to the men, the young women, even the children.

If you’re relying on Grandma to help with child care, it’s time to reconsider. A new study of more than 54 000 women found that those who watched their grandkids 9 hours a week or more were 55% more likely to have a heart attack. These women may have less time to take care of their own health, says lead author Sunmin Lee, ScD, of the Harvard School of Public Health. Younger kids may pose more risk because they need more care.
"However willing your mom might seem, it’s up to you to figure out how much she can really handle," says Meredith Minkler, DrPH, a public-health professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and an expert on grandparents as caregivers. "It’s not just about physical health. Older adults need time to connect with people of their own age. Social isolation is a major risk factor for illness."
