A team of elderly women in Chongqing, serving as "shared grandmas" to help working parents pick up their children from school and stay with the kids, has received a lot of likes online recently.
The team of "shared grandmas" from the Shipingcun Community in Chongqing's Jiulongpo District includes nine retired(退休的) women, mostly empty-nesters(空巢老人). They volunteer to take care of 25 kids in the community.
Working parents of the children who aren't able to pick up their kids from school are in need of a temporary guardian(临时监护人). The volunteers can spare the time and energy for the families and they can also ease(缓解) their loneliness by doing the job.
Deng Lihong, 66, is a member of the team. Every weekday, she picks up the children from school, and accompanies them while they do their homework and play in the community room until their parents pick them up.
"I feel young with the kids and my retired life is meaningful," she said.
"The program started in April and the number of the team members is still growing," Cao Yidan, the chairman of Chongqing Amber Social Work Service Center, said.
"The program is great and worth promoting(推广) in other places in the country," an Internet user said.
"We encourage the retired women in the community to take part in this public service. It's a win-win situation for the families in need and 'shared grandmas'. The feeling of achievement and happiness means a lot to them," Peng Mei, the secretary of the Party Committee of Shipingcun Community, said.

1. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Working parents of the children who aren't able to pick up their kids from school are in need of a temporary guardian.”可知,工作的父母不能准时去学校接孩子。
2. D 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Every weekday, she picks up ... accompanies them while they do their homework and play in the community room ...”可知,她陪伴孩子们做作业和在社区房间玩耍。画线单词意为“陪伴”。
3. D 推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段可知,“共享奶奶”帮忙接孩子并照顾孩子。由此可知,虽然已经退休,但她们仍然在社会上发挥着积极的作用。
4. C 标题概括题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一种双赢的公共服务形式——“共享奶奶”。所以标题应为C项。
