Sentence Combination
Reference version:
Pearls are made by certain kinds of oysters, clams, and mussels, all of which are called molluscs. The pearl is actually composed of the material with which a mollusc coats an irritating particle that it cannot get rid of. This irritant may be a piece of broken shell, a parasite that has bored through the shell, or even a tiny grain of sand. The material the mollusc keeps layering onto
the particle to keep it from being an irritation is mother-0f-pearl. As many layers of mother-of-pearl are built up, a pearl is made. Natural pearls are found rarely, and large natural pearls even more rarely.
However, people have discovered how to produce cultured pearls. To produce a cultured pearl, a smooth, round piece of mother-of-pearl is skillfully set into the living tissue of a pearl oyster. Then the oyster is returned to the water where it will stay for 3 to 5 years. The cultured pearls are less expensive than natural ones, but only an expert can tell the difference between them.
Most of the oysters that are chosen for making cultured pearls are gathered on specially roughened netting lowered from rafts and the young oysters settle onto the netting.

B. Reference version:
"Toot, toot, toot ..." The car swept on past the villages, and the inhabitants were puzzled. The mountain villages seldom had visitors. When it ,,as finally made plain who had come, the villagers, old and young, were all excited -- small boys scrambled and darted, shouting; old men followed, panting; young girls ran, giggling, all coming to see the car.
Sensing the excitement, old Mack, the driver, now the owner
of a gold mine, felt proud. His eyes rolled up a little at the thought of his success.
Twenty years ago he was a poor farmer. As a father of three children, he could hardly make both ends meet. When he heard of the gold in the north, his eyes had brightened and his fingertips burned a little. He decided to go and start a new life. Since he left the village, there had been different stories about him. Some said that he had died in a mine explosion. Now that he had come back as a gold mine owner, the villagers longed to know about his adventures.
