A young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情况) to the way his father died five years ago．
The dinghy(救生橡皮船), used to take Richard Smith, 21, to his yacht(快艇), was discovered empty, floating in seas off the Caribbean island. An air and sea search was carried out but he has still not been discovered.
Richard’s mother, Bicknell, said from her home in Hampshire, “It’s so much coincidence(意外). Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem, which included the date of his disappearance.”
“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy. We need to know this time what has happened one way or another. If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程).”
In November 1996, Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie, was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife. They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again, and their disappearance remains a mystery.
Richard is described as a talented and experienced sailor. He had sailed to the Caribbean in November to help a yacht race for entertainment. He ended the evening drinking in the Abracbabra bar but left after local police closed it for being too noisy.
About 2 am the following day Richard headed back for his dinghy. He started its motor before giving an elderly woman a lift to her yacht after her dinghy had gone missing. It was the last time he was seen.
65. Richard Smith was ____ in 2000.
A. ten B. fifteen C. twenty D. eighteen
66. People searched for Richard using ____ .
A. ship only B. ship and radio C. ship and plane D. yacht and car
67. According to the passage，we know Richard died because ____ .
A. he was a green hand in sailing
B. some unknown animal attacked him
C. there was a fog in the area he was sailing
D. of something we don’t know
68. Which statement is NOT true according to this passage?
A. Old Mr. Smith had lost radio contact with the shore before he died.
B. Richard’s father had married two women at least.
C. Richard didn’t drink on the evening before he was lost because the policeman closed the bar.
