Eight people were feared dead after a fishing boat sank off New Zealand's coast on Thursday and the boat was not noticed missing for 14 hours. Crews rescued one survivor and found one body. According to the police, there was little hope of finding anyone else alive because of poor sea conditions and a long delay before authorities were aware of the accident.
Police say the boat Easy Rider had been carrying three crew members and six passengers when it capsized(倾覆)near remote Stewart Island. One survivor was found about 17 hours later in the cold sea, clinging to a barrel. The survivor told the police he was on deck just after midnight when the boat was hit by a wave and capsized. He managed to cling to the part of the overturned boat for about two hours before it sank.
Police said on Friday they had found the body of a 30-year-old man near where the boat sank and that several ships and helicopters were continuing to search. It took 14 hours before authorities knew the boat was missing. It was supposed to meet with a helicopter on Thursday afternoon and when it didn't show up, the helicopter pilot was the first person to raise the alarm.
New Zealand media reported that the boat had been taking an extended family to a remote island so they could hunt for birds, and that two children were among the missing.
Two months ago, the captain of the Easy Rider, Rewai Karetai. was considered as a hero when he helped rescue three people from another fishing boat that capsized in the area. Two people died in that accident. Karetai is among those missing people in the latest sinking.

Worrying new figures from a national survey commissioned (委任)by Kingswim have revealed 51 percent of Australian adults can't swim 50 meters or more without stopping. However, the news is better for our kids, with statistics showing that childhood swimming lessons are paying off.
"These statistics are reflected in the Royal Life Saving 2019 Drowning Report, with 32 percent of drowning
deaths occurring in the 55 + age range compared to 19 percent for under 25s," says Kingswim Marketing Manager Rowena Thomasson. " While these are terrible statistics, it's not all sad news; the survey revealed younger demographics(人口统计数据) had a much higher swimming ability, which had something to do with the swimming lessons they received as children.”
Kidsafe Victoria CEO Melanie Courtney says that swimming lessons are a critical part of comprehensive home safety defence. " Children can drown quickly and silently in just a few centimeters of water. Swimming lessons, together with active adult supervision(监督)---both in and around water — first — aid knowledge and a well-maintained pool barrier are critical elements in keeping your family safe over the coming season. ”
Mum of three, Jenny Ong says she knows all too well the anxiety caused by not being able to swim as an adult. "Neither my partner nor I am confident in the water so teaching our girls to swim was always going to be difficult for us,” she says. I won't swim anywhere. I can't touch the bottom and I don't want my children to feel the same in the water. My eldest two now both take regular lessons which they absolutely love and I'm relieved to know they're mastering a life-saving skill. "
The research proved that children with professional swimming lessons added to any lessons at home were much more confident in their ability to swim as an adult. "Close to half of people aged between 18 and 24 say they had swimming lessons through three or more channels, with 84 percent believing they received adequate lessons as a child—showing how crucial it is for children to receive professional swimming lessons in addition to anything taught at home,” says Thomasson.
28. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. Drowning happens frequently.
B. Childhood swimming lessons work.
C. The Drowning Report is disappointing.
D. More children get drowned than adults.
29, According to Melanie, how many factors combine to ensure home pool safely defence?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
30. What's Jenny Ong's altitude toward her kids' lessons?
A. Neutral. B. Anxious. C. Favourable. D. Negative.
31. What does the underlined word “they" refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Young people. B. Small children.
C. Old people. D. Some researchers.
