问题     I feel kind of bad for my kids. Because of my husband’s job, we have never had time to go to places like the pool or the beach together this summer. I’ve got a lot more comfortable with taking them to other places but taking them both to water still scares me a lot.
    At six years old Cameron can hardly swim. Sure, he has got all the confidence in the world but he’s lacking in skills. He loves the water and has confidence; in my book that’s a sign of disaster. Poor little Logan will be four years old and is just now taking his first swimming lessons.
    I think that my own inability to swim has made it OK for me not to get the kids swimming. The best I can do is to keep myself alive until help comes, but I know the basics. I guess if it meant saving one of the boys I could probably make it.
    As the boys can’t swim, I think this will be the summer when they learn. In the past four weeks both of the boys have been taking swimming lessons. Monday through Thursday, I spend an hour or so watching them learn how to avoid drowning.
    I have to give them both credit; they have improved ten-fold in the short amount of time. Cameron can actually swim. He doesn’t have the endurance yet and the facts show that he has to work harder than the other kids but he’s getting it. Logan cried for the first few lessons and really wanted nothing to do with swimming. He is not as confident as his older brother but he is getting more comfortable in the water. For a kid who has hardly spent any time in water outside of the bathtub, he is doing an amazing job.
What do we know about the writer’s swimming skills?

选项 A、The writer is a great swimmer.
B、The writer can only swim slowly.
C、The writer doesn’t know anything about swimming.
D、The writer can’t swim very well.

答案D

解析 推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句“I think that my own inability to swim has made it OK…but I know the basics.”可推知,作者不是很会游泳。故D项正确。
