It was on April 10,1912,when the Titanic started out for New York. She was carrying more than 2 000 people.

At that time, this ship was the biggest and finest of all. For it had sixteen compartments with her. If four of them were broken, she would still be able to stay on water.

Four days after she started out, while the Titanic was moving across the seas, the man on watch suddenly saw a very large iceberg(冰山), and it was 100 meters tall. The great ship turned in time, but before long there was a sudden sound from below. The noise was very low and nobody heard it. The captain went down and was surprised to see that five of her compartments were broken. The Titanic was going down fast.

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

  Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ----between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
