A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn't seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked," Why don't you 1 your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted family in Sweden 2 she was born. She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.

During her schooldays, she was often 3 about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an 4 .

As she grew older, she accepted who she was. Still, she wanted to find the missing piece of the 5 . After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be 6 with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn't always easy for her.

Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it's worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how 7 and different she is. She has two loving families, and 8 a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.

Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：There! I have drawn the chairs into the right corners, and dusted the room nicely. How cold mum and daddy will be when they return from their long ride! It is not time to toast the bread yet, and I am tired of reading.

What shall I do? Somehow, I can't help thinking about the pale face of that little beggar girl all the time. I can see the glad light filling her eyes, just as obvious as I did when I laid the dime（一角硬币）in her little dirty hand.

How much I had thought of that dime, too! Grandfather gave it to me a whole month ago, and I had kept it ever since in my red box upstairs; but those sugar apples looked so beautiful, and were so cheap—only a dime a piece—that I made up my mind to have one .

I can see her—the beggar girl, I mean—as she stood there in front of the store, in her old hood（风帽）and faded（褪色的）dress, looking at the candies laid all in a row. I wonder what made me say," Little girl, what do you want? "

How she stared at me, just as if nobody had spoken kindly to her before. I guessed she thought I was sorry for her, for she said, so sadly," I was thinking how good one of those gingerbread rolls would taste. I haven't had anything to eat today. "

Then, I thought to myself," Mary Williams, you have had a good lunch and a good dinner today, and this poor girl has not had a mouthful. You can give her your dime; she needs it a great deal more than you do. "

I couldn't resist that little girl's hungry look, so I dropped the dime right into her hand. And without waiting for her to speak, I walked straight away. I'm so glad I gave her the dime, if I did have to go without the apple lying there in the window, I didn't mind.

1．Mary got the dime from her ________.

A．parents

B．grandfather

C．good friend

D．neighbour

2．The underlined word "one " in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
