Question

It was on April 10th, 1912, the Titanic sailed for New York. She was carrying more than 2,200 people.

At that time, she was the biggest and finest of all the ships, for she had sixteen compartments（密封仓）. When four of them were broken she would still be able to stay on the water.

Four days later, while the Titanic was sailing across the sea, the watcher suddenly saw a very large iceberg, 100 feet tall. After a few minutes there was a sudden sound from below. The noise was so low that no one knew what happened. But soon it was clear that the Titanic was sinking(沉没). The captain sent a SOS to any ships near them, but the nearest one was too far away to help in time. The Titanic was going down fast.

The captain gave the order to give up(放弃) the ship and hundreds of people jumped out into the water. At last over 1,500 people lost their lives because there were not enough lifeboats.
