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.
21. What's the most popular length for customers?
A. 12-13". B. 17-19". C. 20-25". D. 37" or longer.
22. What color pearl do you probably buy if you are a person with light skin?

A QUICK-THINKING teenager has been hailed as a hero after pulling an old man out of dangerous waters.
Sixteen-year-old Will Hughes was fishing with his grandfather at an angling(钓鱼)pool near Worcester when an elderly fisherman fell in.
Will, a student at North Bromsgrove High School, quickly jumped in after the man and pulled him out. "The man went in backwards and only his head and hat was able to be seen. He couldn't get himself out because of the weight of his clothes," said Will. "I got a bit of an adrenaline rush(一时亢奋), and my heart was beating fast, but I just did what anyone else would have done."
After the drama, which happened at the Newton Works waters in Hallow, the lucky man, 75-year-old Brian Waldron, from Charford, Bromsgrove, went home with his wife none the worse for wear.
A grateful Mr. Waldron said, "If it hadn't been for Will's actions, it could have been a much different story. He jumped in beside me almost as quickly as I hit the water. There was no way I could have got out on my own."
Mr. Waldron said he has been ordered by his wife to fish by the shallow end in future. In return, the couple presented Will with a ￡30 gift voucher(券)and the Newton Works Angling Society(NWAS)awarded him free membership for a year. Will's mum Cheryl said, "I am very proud of Will.

It's Earth's birthday! The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old! In honour of our planet, former U. S. Senator Gaylord Nelson decided we needed a special day to celebrate and learn how to care for our environment. He wrote letters to many schools about the day he planned because he knew kids like you would help.
On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. Many environmental laws were passed, and people all over the country made promises to protect the environment.
Since then, Earth Day has spread around the world and people are working together to create cleaner air and energy to take care of Mother Nature. Learn how you, your family and friends can start making a difference too!
Earth Day is now celebrated by hundreds of millions of people in more than 180 countries. Here are some ways that you can help re-energize the Earth and celebrate too!

·Wear green, a nature or Earth Day T-shirt to help spread the word about caring for our environment.

We hope you'll use some of these ideas during the week of April 22 to celebrate and give back to the Earth that gives so much to us.
