News report 3

A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when[Q5] a housefire forced him to[Q6] 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.

When [Q6] he was forced to sell it, the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesca told him[Q7] 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 14 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.

Q5: What happened to the Philippine fisherman one day?

Q6: What was the fisherman forced to do?

【翻译】

一名菲律宾渔民运气不佳，一场家庭火灾迫使他清空自己的财产，并更换了住所。然后，他藏在床底下的幸运符改变了他的生活。

10年前，这名身份不明的男子在菲律宾一个沿海岛屿航行时，他的锚被卡在了岩石上，他从海里捞到了一颗巨大的珍珠。

当他被迫卖掉这颗珍珠时，普林塞斯卡港的旅行社代理人震惊地告诉他，他藏在破旧的木屋里的这颗重77磅的巨型珍珠是世界上最大的珍珠，价值7600万英镑。

目前正在纽约的一家博物馆展出的安拉之珠，只有14磅重。这比渔夫刚刚交出的珍珠要小五倍。

据悉，这颗巨型珍珠宽1英尺，长2.2英尺，将经过当地专家和国际权威机构的验证，之后有望在小镇上展出，吸引更多游客。

请根据刚才所听新闻回答5-7题。
