On April 10, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic set off on its first voyage with more than 2,200 people on board. It was a historic moment. The ship was the largest passenger ship in the world.
But on the night of April 14, the Titanic struck a giant iceberg. Within hours, it sank to the bottom of the ocean. There were only enough lifeboats for about half the people on board. More than 1,500 passengers and crew members died.
The tragedy made headlines around the world. The tale of the ship has inspired many books, plays and movies. That includes 1997’s Titanic---one of the most popular films in history.
Now, more than a century later, a replica (复制品) of the ship is being built. The Titanic II is expected to follow the route of the original ship. It is scheduled to launch in 2022 and sail from Southampton, England, to New York City.
In many ways, the Titanic II will be hard to tell apart from the original ship. It will have the same cabin layouts (布局) and serve the same fancy meals. But according to the Blue Star Line, the company building the ship, there will be some important differences. The Titanic II will have the latest technology and safety features---including enough motor-driven lifeboats for everyone on board. Though the ship itself will be more modern, sailing on it will be a journey back in time, says Clive Palmer, the Owner of Blue Star Line.
“It is a tribute (致敬) to the spirit of the men and women who worked on the original Titanic,” he says.

The Boston Marathon is the oldest annual race in the world. This long-distance running event began in 1897. Like all marathons the distance is 26.2 miles (about 42 kilometer). To enter, you must first have the right to take part in, and about 20,000 athletes meet the requirements each year. Within that number are some who are known as “mobility impaired”. They might be in wheelchairs or have a man-made leg or arm. They start the marathon two hours before the other runners.
I will never forget the first time that I ran the Boston Marathon. A truly amazing thing happened when I was halfway through the race. Ahead of me, there was a man who had only one leg. He was using a pair of crutches (拐杖) to help him run. Every runner who ran past him called out some words of praise and encouragement. I finished my race that day in just under 3 hours and 30 minutes. After finding my family, we went back to our hotel room.
After resting a bit, at around 6 pm, we decided to watch the last of the runners pass the finishing line. By this time, there were only a few runners left in the race. As we stood there, I began to hear people cheering. Then I saw the man on crutches getting closer and closer to the finish. It was 8 hours and 15 minutes after the mobility-impaired runners had started. As he approached the end, he suddenly raised his crutches up in the air and completed the last stretch (临近终点的一段跑道) on one leg. To watch him pass the finishing line was the most amazing and inspiring experience of my life, one that my children and I still talk about.
I have a personal motto (座右铭). \is no great goal achieved without greater sacrifice.\To me, it means that the journey toward your goals is often more difficult than actually reaching the goal itself. And people who make that journey, like the runner that day, encourage those around them.
