In 1686, a French ship called the Belle disappeared in Texas's Matagorda Bay. It would be more than 300 years before archaeologists(考古学家) were able to dig the site. It turned out to be well worth the wait. The Belle could provide important information about historical events and the last journey of the famous French explorer, Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, or Robert de La Salle. The Belle was among four French ships that were headed for the mouth of the Mississippi River. The ships sailed far off course and landed on the coast of Texas, about 400 miles from where they had meant to go.

People on the ship faced many difficulties, such as fights with the native American people and disease, but they finally built their homes in a place they named Fort St. Louis. During a strong winter storm, the Belle ended up on the sea floor in Matagorda Bay.

In 1995, after years of searching, an archaeologist named J. Barto Arnold finally came across the wreckage (残骸) of the Belle. It took nearly a year for archaeologists to dig the site. They used a cofferdam that made the work of the archaeologists much easier. It was a large, special wall that was placed around the wreckage of the ship. Workers took all water out of the area inside the cofferdam so that the

archaeologists didn't need to work in the water.

After so many years, you might think almost everything would have disappeared because seawater would destroy them bit by bit. Luckily, the thick mud, or wet earth, that covered the ship helped save the things that might have been lost forever.

About a million artifacts(物品) were found, including cloth, bone, wood, the body of the ship, three cannons, thousands of little glass balls, bells, and pottery. Many pieces are in Texas museums today, but it will be a long time before archaeologists have learned everything they can from this amazing discovery!

Anjali Mishra is a rising junior at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. At 17, she is president and founder of her school's UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) USA club, and a member of UNICEF's national council(委员会). She also volunteers her time in different communities.

Anjali asked herself: “What can I do to help? UNICEF stood out to me because it's always on the front lines helping children in need.”

After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the community responded actively. She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF's national council.

2．that/which'考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词area，且在从句中作主语，故填that/which。
