• 1．When choosing pearls there are a number of things to consider besides just the quality of the pearls.While there is no right or wrong way to choose pearls，here are a few tips you should consider.
     Necklace Length-You can buy pearl necklaces in a number of different lengths.Generally speaking，shorter necklaces suit long necks，while long necklaces are nice for smaller necks.The lengths and names areas follows.
     →Collar-12-13"
     →Choker-14-16"
     →Princess-17-19"
     →Matinee-20-25"
     →Ppera-26-36"
     →Rope-37" or longer
     The most popular is the Princess length since it is a good length for both long and smaller necks.
     Pearl Color-The pearl color does not affect the value of the pearl；instead，it is completely in the eye of the beholder（旁观者）.Most people buy pearls that best match their skin tone（肤色）.People with light skin usually buy white or pink pearls while people with darker skin tones tend to buy black pearls.In America，white pearls are the most popular，while in Asia，silver are favorites.
     Pearl Sets-When buying pearl jewelry you should consider first if you want an entire set，or just a certain piece.If，for example，you buy the necklace，and then later decide to buy the bracelet/earrings，they may not match as well as if you had bought a set.Even if you buy the same size，and color，the style may not be the same.Some stores will allow you to buy the individual pieces of a set.So if you want to buy the other pieces at a later time，they will still match.
  
  （1）What's the most popular length for customers？

  
  A．12-13".
  B．17-19".
  C．20-25".
  D．37" or longer.

• 2．I saw in my rearview mirror that a large SUV headed straight for my car at a breakneck speed.My heart and mind started racing，and panic（恐慌）instantly set in.
     With fear in my voice，I started saying out loud， "Oh my goodness!Oh my goodness!"，making my friend who was with me immediately scared and puzzled.I was sure that within mere seconds，we were going to be knocked from behind by a careless vehicle clearly going over 100 miles per hour in heavy traffic.
     Unable to change lanes or speed up because of cars on all sides，I just prepared myself for the impact.But thank goodness，the driver missed hitting my car by an inch as he went into the lane beside me，nearly hitting another vehicle，tires screeching（刺耳声）and burning，filling the air with clouds of smoke.He continued dashing in and out of traffic，causing more near-collisions，and then quickly disappeared into the distance.
     As I sat there surprised，loosening my fingers from the steering wheel，my friend and I began to talk about what if we had been hit.How life could have been changed in an instant（瞬间）or even ended.
     I thought about my precious children，my husband，my family and things undone.I wondered whether I would have regrets if that had been my last day.I began to consider if I was truly enjoying and embracing（拥抱） my life，even if it hadn't turned out the way I thought it would or should.I couldn't help but ask myself if I was by accident taking for granted the pure blessing of waking up every morning and being given another day，and if I was spending time being unhappy because of difficult circumstances instead of living with joy.
