二、阅读短文，选出与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
Do you know Betty Brussels? She broke three swimming world records at the age of 99 in late January 2024.
Two film-makers were very happy for Betty, so they made a documentary（纪录片）about her. They started to do it in 2023 and finished it later in 2024.
Betty was born in 1924, and she was 100 years old in July, 2024. All her three children were over 70 years old. Some people asked Betty how to live so long and stay fit. She said, “I'm a happy woman. I think that's one of the secrets.”
Betty has many hobbies. She loves reading, doing puzzles, growing tomatoes and flowers. But swimming is her favourite. She says, “I enjoy swimming. When I'm swimming, I don't think about anything.” She often wears a T-shirt that says, “You don't stop swimming when you get old. You get old when you stop swimming.”
