A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when a house fire forced him to clear out his possessions and change locations. Then a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed changed his life. The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off a coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago.［6］ When he was forced to sell it,［7 ］the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesa told him that the 77-pound giant pearl that he had kept hidden in his rundown wooden house was the biggest pearl in the world, which was valued at 76 million.
The Pearl of Allah, which is currently on display in a New York museum, only weighs 1.4 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in. The monstrous pearl measured at 1 foot wide and 2.2 feet long, is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on display to attract more tourists in the little town.
Question 5 What happened to the Philippine fisherman one day? 新闻开头提到,一名菲律宾渔民时运不济,一场房屋火灾迫使他清理自己的财物和更换住址。选项B的说法与新闻内容一致,故为正确答案。新闻后面提到,10年前,渔民的船锚卡在了岩石上,并不是船只失事,选项C说法错误。其余两项新闻并未提及,可排除。
