Do you often feel the quality of the goods we buy these days isn’t as good as it ought to beIn the past, when things were made by hand, it seems there was a lot of pride in individual workmanship. People were really proud of things they made.But now, of course, individuals don’t make things. Most things are made on assembly lines and one person only has a very small part in putting something together so there isn’t any workmanship any more.A good example of this is a friend of mine, Mary. She bought a toaster last summer at a sale. She used it, I guess, pretty often, but she only had it a couple of months when suddenly the plastic base of the toaster cracked wide open, and at the same time the heating system in the toaster burned out.She took it back to the store, but the clerk in the store said they wouldn’t take it back, and they wouldn’t give her money back, because she bought it on sale. So the only thing she could do was to buy a new one.I’m sure Mary is more careful when she buys things now, and that’s what we all have to be. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage().

It’s 8.00 am. James Butters gives ]8-month-old Thomas his milk, then breakfast. After getting Thomas into his outdoor clothes, they head for the park to watch birds and play on the grass. With hitch time drawing near, they’re back home for an afternoon 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 Thomas, and another boy of a similar age. "It’s much freer than an office job," he says, "and you’re getting to see children develop and grow. You become very close to them, for sure. I don’t think I’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, things are changing. In the United States, parents are employing young mannies, sometimes to care for babies, but more often as active role models to get junior away from the TV and the computer. From rollerblading (轮滑) friends to summer swimming mannies, these are the big brothers who are always willing to play, largely because they’re paid for it.It is catching on here in Britain, too. Earlier this year, Nofland nanny college welcomed its first full-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. Who’s going to become a new man nanny Soon().
