Almost everyone has a dream job, and for Susan, it is to be a whale(鲸) trainer at her city's aquarium(水族馆). Last year, Susan finally had a(n) 11, but it was more than just signing up. People who wanted this job had to take part in a competition. They needed to show how 12 they could go down into the seven-metre-deep pool that housed the whales and that how long they could stay there. The one who could reach the deepest and stay the longest underwater would get the job.
Susan signed up to try out, and everything went 13 at first. But then, as she went down to about five metres under the icy water, her legs stopped 14. The cold water caused a huge pain in her legs. She was unable to swim back to the surface. She was in great fear and couldn’t think. This only caused her to 15 farther into the pool. Just as Susan 16 hope, she suddenly felt herself being pushed to the surface.
It was Mila, a whale in the pool. She noticed Susan’s 17, held her legs in her mouth and pushed Susan up to the surface. Susan was 18, thanks to Mila’s quick action. The aquarium spokesperson said Susan was really 19, because Mila had realized Susan needed help before any of the working group did, which saved valuable time.
“Whales are 20 animals—they live and play together. In the wild, they show great interest in humans and often swim close to boats and divers.”
