6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Pearls are made by oysters, a kind of shellfish. Sometimes a tiny bit of a plant or animal gets trapped in the soft body of the oyster. This bit irritates the oyster. Imagine how you would feel if you had something caught in your muscle. The oyster produces a liquid substance called nacre around the foreign material to protect its body. The oyster produces layers and layers of nacre, which harden to form a pearl. This is a slow process that can take three years or more.

For thousands of years, divers searched for pearls. Today, most pearls come from cultured pearl farms. Workers surgically place a bit of material inside the oysters. The oysters are raised in protected areas for several years until they produce a pearl. Wild pearls are very rare and expensive. Cultured pearls are more numerous, cheaper and just as beautiful as wild ones.
