Questions 41-45 refer to the following passage. 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.

社會趨勢與教育連結
文章的核心在於介紹《我美麗的媽咪》這本圖畫書，其背後的立論基礎源於文中提到的一個關鍵觀點：現代社會普遍認為「家長應該對孩子更加誠實與開放」。因此，當母親接受整型手術時，不應隱瞞，而是要以孩子能理解的比喻（如毛毛蟲變蝴蝶）來進行說明。這正是選項 (C) 「孩子應該被正確告知父母的整形手術」所表達的旨趣。
