Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft(手艺).He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a display of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the display was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty(一层油灰),carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts(桅杆).Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand.

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 look like your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted(收养) family in Sweden right after 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 questioned 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 outsider.
As she grew older, she accepted(接受)who she  was. Still, she
wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). 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 shared (分享) 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 special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.
小题1: Where was Ida born?
A.In Japan.B.In Sweden.C.In England.D.In Korea.
小题2:Why was she seen as an outsider in Sweden?
A.Because of the culture.B.Because of her looks.
C.Because of the food.D.Because of the language.
小题3:What does the phrase "apart from" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.exceptB.as forC.as well asD.besides
小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Ida hadn"t seen her birthparents for at least 22 years.
B.Ida found it easy for her to get used to living in Korea.
C.Ida still couldn"t accept who she was after she went back to Sweden.
D.Ida realized she can"t live a happy life either in Sweden or in Korea.
