the line and frowned以及millies face turned red. at last, she gave it a try, but she failed.可知，millie不会跳长绳，所以她排在队伍的后面。再根据下文millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class可知，millie会跳短绳，而且跳得很好，所以她笑了。由此可知frown和smile的相反意思的词，故选c。2d 细节理解题。根据短文中millies face turned red. at last, she gave it a try, but she failed.以及she just didnt know how to run in and start jumping with
