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 did experiments 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 roller-skate (穿四轮鞋溜冰) for the first time and did it well, then he would probably become 5 roller-skater. If he did it badly, then he would probably never be 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 non-swimmer (非游泳者) is 7 deep water for fun, it will take him a long time to regain (恢复) confidence in the water. So learner-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.

Your parents have just told you the news—you’re moving to a new house. How in the world will you tell your friends?
First, CALM DOWN. 36 a while to catch your breath and let the news sink in before you call your friends. Make 37 you have the whole story before you start telling people.
38 friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about 39 you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let 40 frie-
nds know, but the phone may be fine for others. 41 after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.
HOW SHOULD YOU START? Say something like, “I have some big news I want to share 42 you.” That will prepare your friend for what is going to come. Then say, “I’m 43 .” Tell him as many details as you know, 44 let him know how you feel about it.
Each friend will have a different 45 to the news, so BE PREPARED. Some girls may 46 crying. But some may get 47 , some may get silly, and some may give you the 48 that they don’t care. 49 happens, be sure to talk to your friends if the things they do and say 50 your feelings.
Ask friends not to tell anyone else 51 you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell 52 until Monday.” That will give you a 53 to let close friends hear the news from you first.
Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n) 54 may be able to help you
55 the right things to say and help you understand your friend’s reactions.
