問題詳情：

    "Miss Smith! What rough (粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup has! "said Daisy Marvin, as she walked home from school with her teacher.

"In my opinion, Daisy, Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class."

"Why? Miss Smith, they are as red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she tried to play on a piano!" Daisy said.

Miss Smith took Daisy's hands in hers, and said, "Your hands are very soft and white, just the hands to look beautiful on a piano: yet they don't have one beauty that Mary's hands do. Shall tell you what the difference is?"

"Yes, please, Miss Smith." Daisy looked at Miss Smith, with eyes wide open.

"Well, Daisy, Mary's hands are very busy. They wash dishes; they make fires; they hang out clothes, and help to wash them, too: they are always trying to help her poor, hard-working mother."

Miss Smith continued, "Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend their toys and dress their dolls; yet, they find time to bathe the head of the little girl who is so sick in the next house to theirs."

"They do good deeds (行為) to every living thing. I have seen them patting the tired horse and the homeless dog in the street. They are always ready to help those who need help."

"I shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith." Daisy said that with tears in eyes.

"I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully."

"Oh, Miss Smith! I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry, "said Daisy, looking into her teacher's face with shining eyes.

"My dear, beauty doesn't lie in how one looks but what he does."

本文是一篇記敍文，黛西認為瑪麗粗糙的雙手非常醜陋，老師告訴黛西，瑪麗的手是最美的，因為她樂於助人，有着美好的品行。文章告訴我們：美麗不關乎外表，重要的是人們的行為。

30．細節理解題。根據第一、三段“What rough (粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup has…they are as red and hard as they can be”可知，黛西最初認為瑪麗的手很醜陋。故選B。

31．細節理解題。根據倒數第三段“I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully”可知，史密斯太太認為“樂於助人”是一種美麗。故選C。

32．推理判斷題。根據第九、十一段“I shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more…I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry”可知，黛西聽完老師對瑪麗的評價後，她為自己的言行感到抱歉，故可推知她對“美”有了更好的理解。故選D。

33．最佳標題題。根據第二段“Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class”及最後一段“beauty doesn't lie in how one looks but what he does”可知，本文主要以“瑪麗的手”為線索貫穿全文，講述了美不關乎外表，而在於所作所為。瑪麗樂於助人、勤儉有擔當，所以她有一雙美麗的手，故“美麗的雙手”可作文本文標題。故選D。
