閱讀下面的短文，選擇正確答案。

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 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 who she was．Still，she wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle．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 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.

參考譯文

一個名叫艾達(dá)的瑞典女孩決定造訪一處她22年來未曾去過的地方。之前她一直過著幸福的生活，直到有一天，幾個小孩子問：“為什么你長得不像你媽媽？”艾達(dá)一出生就被送到瑞典的養(yǎng)父母家里。除了最近聽到一些關(guān)于她親生父母的信息外，她對自己的出生地韓國確實一無所知。

上學(xué)的時候，她就經(jīng)常因為特殊的外表而遭到人們的質(zhì)疑。艾達(dá)認(rèn)為自己是個正常的瑞典人。在學(xué)校里，她盡量融入集體，但她發(fā)現(xiàn)很難。她始終被當(dāng)作外來者。

隨著年齡的增長，她接受了自己的樣子。但她還是想找出自己身體里缺失的那塊拼圖。在找到親生父母的地址后，艾達(dá)于2008年去了韓國。剛一到達(dá)，她就驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)那兒有許多跟她外貌相似的人。然而，除了外表，她與其他人沒有太多的共同之處。她對這里的文化、飲食，特別是語言都知之甚少。待在韓國對她來說并不容易。

也許艾達(dá)永遠(yuǎn)無法真正適應(yīng)兩種文化中的任一種，但拜訪自己的出生地是值得的，因為她終于意識到自己是多么特殊和與眾不同了。她有兩個溫馨的家庭，而最重要的是她對現(xiàn)在的自己有了更清楚的認(rèn)識。這有助于她形成積極的人生觀。
