阅读下面的短文，选择正确答案。

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.

参考译文

一个名叫艾达的瑞典女孩决定造访一处她22年来未曾去过的地方。之前她一直过着幸福的生活，直到有一天，几个小孩子问：“为什么你长得不像你妈妈？”艾达一出生就被送到瑞典的养父母家里。除了最近听到一些关于她亲生父母的信息外，她对自己的出生地韩国确实一无所知。

上学的时候，她就经常因为特殊的外表而遭到人们的质疑。艾达认为自己是个正常的瑞典人。在学校里，她尽量融入集体，但她发现很难。她始终被当作外来者。

随着年龄的增长，她接受了自己的样子。但她还是想找出自己身体里缺失的那块拼图。在找到亲生父母的地址后，艾达于2008年去了韩国。刚一到达，她就惊讶地发现那儿有许多跟她外貌相似的人。然而，除了外表，她与其他人没有太多的共同之处。她对这里的文化、饮食，特别是语言都知之甚少。待在韩国对她来说并不容易。

也许艾达永远无法真正适应两种文化中的任一种，但拜访自己的出生地是值得的，因为她终于意识到自己是多么特殊和与众不同了。她有两个温馨的家庭，而最重要的是她对现在的自己有了更清楚的认识。这有助于她形成积极的人生观。
