"Dad, is there any great sprinter in 4 country?" Jack asked his dad one day. Then he 5 knew about the story of Wilma Rudolph(1940—1994). She6 three medals in track- and- field games in the 1960 Rome Olympic Games. People 7 her the"fastest woman in the world" at her time.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

① Is it common to see grass on the way to school every day? Is grass so common that you probably don't even notice it? Do you take the grass for granted? Do you know that there is also some special grass that grows on the ocean floor? The Seagrass, an underwater plant that grows on the ocean floor, is not only very important for sea life but also helps prevent global warming. However, scientists and researchers don't know exactly how much seagrass is at the bottom of the ocean. With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world's largest seagrass meadow( grassland) on the seafloor near the Bahamas.

② Seagrass meadows are home to fish, shellfish, and so on. Large sea animals, such as sharks, also spend a lot of time there looking for food. Seagrass can grow in very deep and dark waters, making it difficult for people to find. But sharks can dive deep into the water and get to the areas people cannot reach.

③ After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations of those hard-to-find plants. The researchers fitted seven tiger sharks with cameras. Since tiger sharks swim in groups, they placed tracking tags(跟踪器) on eight other sharks to find out exactly where the animals swam. They collected hours of videos of the tiger sharks swimming through seagrass.

④ The researchers found more seagrass near the Bahamas than they expected - - - in fact, they believe that there is more seagrass(41%) than anywhere else on Earth. Researchers and scientists were very happy about this finding. However, more research is needed to discover the true size of the seagrass meadow.

⑤ In order to study about the underwater world, scientists often depend on divers and boats, but this team found that working with animals improved their understanding. They are now placing cameras on sea turtles to study seagrass in the Red Sea. Hopefully, more mysteries about seagrass will be solved.

Everyone feels low or down from time to time. It does not always mean something is wrong. Feeling low is common after painful events or huge life changes. But sometimes periods of low spirits happen for no clear reasons. 

____ , you may feel tired, disappointed, angry, worried and have no confidence. It will often pass after a couple of days or weeks. You can try some easy things and make some small everyday changes. They will usually help improve your spirit. 

If you're still feeling down or no longer get pleasure from things for most of each day. And this lasts for several weeks, you may be experiencing depression (抑郁) . You need to deal with it. You can do as the following tips. 

Firstly, talk to someone. Your trusted friends, family members and teachers will be OK. Or you can just call a helpline. Secondly, read a book or watch a favorite television show. Having different experiences through others can make you feel happier. The experiences may from both reading and watching well-known characters on a favorite TV show. What's more, do some sports you like. There are many different types of exercise. They can improve your heart speed. They can make you feel good and, make you keep away from the bad spirit. At last, tidy your room. You can either put messy things away or make everything in order. And you can just clean the room. All these things will make you feel happy and relieve the low spirit.

Low spirit, even depression, is very normal. The key is that we should dare to face it, choose the proper way to solve it. Everything will be fine in the future.
