　Swimming and other water sports can be great fun． Yet 　1　people can not swim． Many are 　2　water． They have no confidence (信心) in their ability (能力) to learn to swim well．

　A few years ago, scientists to find out how people learn new skills． They found that, 　3　,the first time a person tried a task determined whether or not he would ever be any 　4　it． For example, if a child tried to rollerskate (穿四轮鞋溜冰) for the first time and did it well, then he would probably become 　5　rollerskater． If he did it badly, then he would probably never good． For this reason, it is important that a person's first step at swimming should be successful．

　Scientists also know that a 　6　experience will do harm to a person's confidence． For example, if a nonswimmer (非游泳者) is 　7　deep water in fun, it will take him a long time to regain (恢复) confidence in the water．

　So learners-swimmers (初学游泳者) should take each step 　8　 ． The first thing to do is to gain confidence in the water． Never jump in at first． Sit on the side． Better still, walk slowly down the steps into 　9　water． Try to walk along the side of the bath． Duck (猛然低下) your head under the water, keeping your eyes open 　10　． Lift your feet off the bottom and let your body float to the surface． You will soon be ready to learn to swim．

　　Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more.
