There are some causes of drowning. Not being able to swim is one of the causes. Many adults and children report that they can’t swim or that they are weak swimmers. Taking part in swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning among children and young adults. The second cause might be the lack（缺乏） of close supervision. Drowning can happen quickly and quietly anywhere there is water. Be sure to keep a close eye on children anytime when they are in the water. What should you do if you are drowning？ Here are some tips. First， keep your head up and try to breathe normally. Second， attract attention by shouting or splashing（拍打） water. Third， if you are tired， lie on your back， with your eyes looking at the sky. Fourth， try to stay as relaxed as possible. What should you do if you see someone drown？ The first thing is to call for emergency（紧急） help. Do not try to save the drowning person by going into water if you are not trained. Next， you can throw something into the water for the drowning person. You may throw a life buoy or extend a long pole for the drowning person to hold. Third， when the drowning person is on dry land， perform CPR（心肺复苏） for him or her. Reading Check （ B ）1.How many causes of drowning are mentioned in the article？ A.One. B.Two. C.Three.
