Immediately the ship turned, but not soon enough. The iceberg tore a 300-foot hole in the hull and water began to pour in. At first the captain didn't worry because the ship was said to be" unsinkable". Then the ship began to lean. At 12:05 the captain gave the order" Uncover the lifeboats" !
The Wireless operator sent out an SOS signal. Six ships began to race towards the Titanic. But the two ships who were closest did not hear the desperate calls for help.
At two a. m. the captain gave the order"Abandon ship!"A few minutes later the Titanic began to slip beneath the surface. One by one the last passengers jumped into the sea. Then the stern rose up in the air and the Titanic sank quickly out of sight.
At dawn the next morning a rescue boat picked up 705 survivors from the lifeboats. Most of them were first and second class passengers. All their children survived. Of the children who traveled third class, only a third survived.
Where was the destination of Titanic？

Titanic: Sinking the Myths
"Practically Unsinkable"
As soon as the waves of the North Atlantic closed over the stern of RMS Titanic on 15 April 1912, the myths began surrounding her design, construction and transatlantic voyage. The Titanic disaster today is a classic tale, a modern folk story, but like all folk stories our understanding of what really happened has been clouded by the way the disaster has been recounted over the years.
It was said that the builders and owners of Titanic claimed she was "unsinkable". The claim actually made was that she was "practically unsinkable" close enough, but nevertheless an unfortunate statement and one which would haunt both builder and owner for years.
Titanic, the largest vessel in the world when she entered service in 1912, was neither the finest nor the most technically advanced of her day. Size, seldom an indication that something is better, was the only record she held. The ships that Titanic, and her slightly older sister Olympic, were designed to compete with were the Cunard liners Lusitania and Mauretania, which entered service in 1907. Designed and built as record breakers, both held the coveted "Blue Riband" for the fastest Atlantic crossing. It was built principally from lessons learnt from advances in warship construction, but most importantly was powered by steam turbines driving quadruple screws, fitted with a large balanced rudder(方向舵), making them faster than the competition and easier to manoeuvre. This was a giant leap forward in marine engineering, comparable to the advances made in 1969 with the introduction of the Can corde supersonic aircraft.
Achille's Heel
Building ships this large led to inevitable compromises. Titanic adopted tried and trusted methods for her design and construction. No risks were taken with the choice of engines which were enlarged versions of the propulsion system first used experimentally in Laurentic, another White Star liner, in 1909. The triple screw vessel had proved that two expansion engines feeding exhaust steam into a low pressure turbine were more economical than vessels using expansion engines or turbines alone.
Titanic's hull(船体) and upper works were also enlarged versions of designs refined over several decades. Her stern(船尾),with its high graceful Counter and long thin rudder, was an exact copy of an 18th-century sailing ship, wrought in steel, a perfect example of the lack of technical development. Compared with the rudder design of the Cunarders, Titanic's was a fraction of the size. No account was made for advances in scale and little thought was given to how a ship, 852 feel in length, might turn in an emergency or avoid collision with an iceberg. This was Titanic's Achilles heel.
Speed
These design differences meant Titanic would never be able to challenge the speed or manoeuvrability of the Cunarders, but this did not matter. White Star had given up all thought of speed records more than a decade be- fore, in 1899, with the introduction of Oceanic, a ship given the title "Clowning Glory of the 19th Century". It was justly deserved, for her interiors were, the finest ever created by the Belfast shipbuilder of Harland & Wolff.
White Star could not afford to waste the same expense on their new ship Titanic, which was much larger than Oceanic. Titanic, nevertheless, was a fine, well-built vessel, with large public rooms and finely-appointed suites for those travelling in first class. However, there were many other ocean liners built in Britain, France and Germany which were technically superior and had stunning interiors.
Speed plays a major part in the continuing story of Titanic. It is often said she was trying to make a record on her maiden voyage, attempting to arrive ahead of schedule in New York. Not true. Not all of Titanic's boilers had been lit and besides this she was sailing on the l

Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
You probably know about the Titanic, but it was actually just one of three state-of-the-art (最先进的)ocean ships back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland & Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line company. The Olympic class included the Olympic, the Britannic and the Titanic, What you may not know is that the Titanic wasn’t even the flagship of this class. All in all, the Olympic class ships were marvels of sea engineering, but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrous fates.
The Olympic launched first in 1910, followed by the Titanic in 1911, and lastly the Britannic in 1914. The ships had nine decks,and Whits Star Line decided to focus on making them the most luxurious ships on the water.
Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology, and everyone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. However, all suffered terrible accidents on the open seas, The Olympic got wrecked before the Titanic did, but it was the only one to survive and maintain a successful career of 24 years. The Titanic was the first to sink after famously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912. Following this disaster, the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sank as well.
Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhausted crews below deck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ship’s smoke stacks, but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose. While two of these ships sank, they were all designed with double hulls(船体)believed to make them “unsinkable”, perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Titanic’s and the Britannic’s tragic end.
The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship and troop transport in World WarⅠ. Eventually, she was taken out of service in 1935, ending the era of the luxurious Olympic class ocean liners.
What does the passage say about the three Olympic class ships？
A.They performed marvelously on the sea
B.They could all break the ice in their way
C.They all experienced terrible misfortunes
D.They were models of modern engineering
What did White Star Line have in mind when it purchased the three ships？A.Their capacity of sailing across all waters
B.The utmost comfort passengers could enjoy
C.Their ability to survive disasters of any kind
D.The long voyages they were able to undertake
What is said about the fourth stack of the ships？A.It was a mere piece of decoration
B.It was the work of a famous artist
C.It was designed to let out extra smoke
D.It was easily identifiable from afar
What might have led to the tragic end of the Titanic and the Britannic？A.Their unscientific designs
B.Their captains’ misjudgment
C.The assumption that they were built with the latest technology
D.The belief that they could never sink with a double-layer body
What happened to the ship Olympic in the end？A.She was used to carry troops
B.She was converted into a hospital ship
C.She was sunk in World WarⅠ
D.She was retired after her naval service

Even Intelligent People Can Fail
1．The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modem World is how often they failed. Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the Web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cellphone （手机）. The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze （错综复杂） of wrong turns.
2．We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison's success in heating a thin line to white-hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, US. He did that on October 22, 1879, and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight （点亮着的）in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan, even though only one of'the six power plants in his design worked when he tumed it on, on September 4, 1882.
3．"Many of life's failures," the supreme innovator said, "are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Before that magical moment in October 1879, Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light, but in only two cases did his experiments work.
4．No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc, attributes some of the company's successes in technology to understanding failure. His popular phrase is: "You only fail when you quit."
5．Over two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop. Pioneering car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T car.
6．Failure is harder to bear in today's open, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation works the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records （Geffen's company） and the Titanic （the ship that went down） was that the Titanic had better music. Actually, it wasn't. After four years of losses, Geffen had so many hits （成功的作品） he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.
