The undersea world is very beautiful．（1）Now more and more people want to dive in deep sea to find the secrets there．Diving is a new sport today．It can take you into a wonderful undersea world．

You will find many strange animals in the sea．Some are as large as a school bus．Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth．

In the daytime，there is much light．Here，under the sea，everything is blue and green． When fish swim nearby，you can catch them with your hands．When you have bottles of air on your back，you can stay in deep water for a long time．However，you can’t dive too deep． And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water．

（2）深海并非易居之地。It is cold，and it is dark，too．The  3  it is，the less sun．1ight there is．At about 3，000 feet，there is no light at all．It is dark in the sea．Many fishes have no eyes．Some have big eyes．A few have eyes on one side．

Besides the cold and darkness，deep-sea animals face a third danger-other animals．

Like human beings，sea animals also eat!   4  Some of them eat plants．However， some eat meat．This means these sea animals have two big jobs．They need to find animals as food，and they have to try not to become other animals’ meal．

Diving or Drowning

A rich young man decided that he would like to do some diving in the sea, so he bought a rubber suit and all the other things that he needed, and took some lessons at a diving school. Then one day he walked into the water by himself and began to explore the bottom of the sea.

He saw a lot of beautiful fish and other things, and then, after half an hour, he suddenly saw a man waving his arms and legs around wildly near the bottom of the sea. He was wearing only a bathing suit.

The rich young man was very surprised to see him, so he took out a plastic notebook and a special pencil, which could write under water, and wrote, “What are you doing here?”

He showed the notebook to the other man, who then took the pencil and wrote, “Drowning!”
