During one of his dives off the coasts of the Isles of Scilly,England,Grayson got lucky and found two young seals.One of the seals approached him first and started playing with him by touching his hand.The diver remained still,hoping it would leave him alone,while the seal went on with its actions.The marine creature kept exploring Grayson,who had no idea why the seal wouldn’t leave him alone. It turned out that the animal had something adorable in mind and dragged at Grayson’s arms slightly because it wanted a scratch(挠) from the diver,and Grayson instantly understood.As he gently scratched the animal,it seemed to enjoy it and wanted more.The diver was excited about this heartwarming interaction with the seal.“I was absolutely loving it,” the 55-year-old experienced diver said. “We were told just to keep still but the more still we were,the more curious this seal was because we were in their world,” the diver explained.After the first seal was done playing with him,the second seal that was swimming around the diver started to take an interest in his legs. Being an adventure lover,Grayson always loved living life on the edge.But the time he had with those two seals underwater was something extraordinary for him.The video shot by Gary from more than a decade ago gained online popularity.While the Internet often considers seals as the “dogs of the sea”,their behavior in this video shows how that comparison might be true. 1.Why did Grayson stop moving after seeing the seals? A.He planned to observe them quietly. B.He wanted to conduct research. C.He wasn’t able to escape from them. D.He wanted to wait for them to leave. 2.What can we know about the seals Gary met?
