阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。

At one hall in a town, a huge board said, “FOOD SHORTAGE IN AFRICA. PLEASE HELP THE STARVING PEOPLE.”

A large crowd was standing in line to hand over their donations（捐赠）. Near the door of the hall stood a beautiful young girl, poorly but tidily dressed. With a shy look, she watched the people before her. She saw a businessman who laid a bag of gold on the table. Then came a rich lady who took out a lot of jewels. Some others handed cash, clothes and food. The girl wouldn’t like to take her turn but at last, she stepped forward.

“But... it is so small. I am ashamed to give it. It seems worthless, but it is all I have, ” she said.

“We are thankful for even the smallest donation,” the man at the counter replied kindly. “Here it is. I have nothing else to give,” she added. And then under her coat, she took out two long thick plaits（辫子）of her golden hair. As she did so, her hat fell back, showing the beautiful young bald（无发的）head.

This beautiful girl donated her most priceless golden hair, which was more valuable than all the glittering gold, jewels or cash of the other donors.
