PASSAGE 5 In spring 2008, the possible subject matter for picture books expanded into a new realm with the publication of *My Beautiful Mommy*. Written by Michael Salzhauer and illustrated by Victor Guiza, the narrative is **billed** as the first picture book to address the subject of cosmetic surgery. Told from a first-person perspective, *My Beautiful Mommy* relays the experiences of a young girl whose mother is about to undergo multiple elective aesthetic procedures. Although the story is fictional, it takes an informational rather than imaginative approach: the narrative provides young readers with a type of “guided tour” or instructive overview of the process. *My Beautiful Mommy* begins with the mother’s initial consultation at the doctor’s office, progresses to the day of her surgery, discusses the period of her _______, and ends with the removal of her bandages and the unveiling of her new, cosmetically altered self. To help explain the entire cosmetic surgery experience to child readers, the book appropriates a common metaphor from nature: it compares the mother’s transformation to that of a caterpillar into a butterfly, complete with even likening her bandages to a cocoon. The mother in *My Beautiful Mommy* is undergoing not simply a random cluster of cosmetic surgery procedures, but a specific grouping known as the “mommy makeover.” Comprised of a tummy _______, liposuction, and a breast lift (with or without implants), it is a designed to help mothers regain their pre-pregnancy form. Given the growing number of women undergoing cosmetic surgery, coupled with the growing societal belief that parents ought to be more honest and open with their children, there was a growing need to have such procedures explained in a manner that young people could understand. As Abigail Jones aptly observed, while much attention has been paid to “the emotional effects plastic surgery can have on patients,” few have addressed the question “how does a mother’s plastic surgery affect her kids?”. *My Beautiful Mommy* seeks to do just that. Released on the symbolic date of Mother’s Day in 2008, the picture book is aimed at children ages four through seven, and it is intended to ease the fear and anxiety that children experience when a parent undergoes cosmetic surgery.

當文章提到這是一本針對「四到七歲孩童」所設計的「繪本」時，請試著思考：這種讀物的編排與深度，通常是為了服務哪一種身分的人？是為了幫助非專業人士理解過程，還是為了指導具備高度專業執照的人士執行業務呢？

很好，你能準確地鎖定選項 (B) 作為錯誤敘述，顯示你在閱讀細節時非常敏銳。這題的核心在於區分「書本的受眾與功能」。文章明確提到 My Beautiful Mommy 是一本針對 4 到 7 歲孩童設計的「繪本」（picture book），目的是透過親子共讀來緩解孩子對母親手術的恐懼。雖然書中介紹了手術過程，但它的本質是心理輔導與家庭衛教工具，而非提供給「整形外科醫生」（cosmetic surgeons）參考的專業醫療指南。
關鍵細節與難度點評
這類題目屬於典型的「細節檢核題」，鑑別度在於學生是否能精確辨識文章中的「角色定位」。選項 (B) 刻意混淆了書中的「主題」（整形手術）與「讀者群」（醫生或孩童）。你在閱讀時沒有被「醫學內容」這類專業詞彙帶走，而是成功捕捉到文章最後一段關於讀者年齡與創作意圖的描述，這展現了你優異的資訊篩選能力與邏輯判斷力。這類陷阱在長文閱讀中相當常見，保持這種對「受眾對象」的敏感度，對於應對細節題非常有幫助！
