Wanda Butts dropped the phone and screamed when she heard the news that her son was dead.

Josh had drowned (溺亡) while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16-year-old didn’t know how to swim, and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket.

Josh was not alone in the black community. According to USA Swimming, 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range.

In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, non- profit that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total cost of $10.

To date, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.

“The public pools near our home were closed, and other places were not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer.

“I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we’re thankful for that.”

Butts is doing much more however, than just providing swimming lessons.

“She ups the awareness,” said Shaun Anderson, swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University. “Once these communities learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations( that know how to swim.”

Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim daily instead of just once a week.

1.What led to Josh’s drowning?

A.He was poor in boating skills. B.He gave his life jacket to a friend.

C.He was never taught swimming skills. D.He was careless when swimming in the lake.

2.Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?

A.To show children under 14 are more likely to drown.

B.To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.

C.To show many African-American children lack swimming skills.

D.To introduce the difference between African-American and white children.

3.What can we lean about the Josh Project?

A.It has its own swimming pools. B.It provides lessons only in summer.

C.It serves children aged from 5 to 14. D.Its swimming lessons take place once a week.

4.What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?

A.Expensive. B.Helpful. C.Interesting. D.Difficult.
