A boy named Jeremiah Burke, 19, threw a water bottle with a note in it while the Titanic sank(下沉). Now the note is in the Heritage Centre(遗产中心) in Cork.

Jeremiah Burke’s mother gave the bottle to him before he left for the US. As the Titanic sank in the early hours of 15 April, 1912, he threw the bottle with the note into the sea.

The bottle was found a year later on the beach. The note read “From Titanic, goodbye all, Burke of Glanmire, Cork.” Burke’s family kept it for about a hundred years. Now one of Jeremiah’s nieces(侄女), Mary Woods, has given it to the Heritage Centre in Cork. She said Jeremiah Burke was travelling to America with his cousin Nora Hegarty, 18, to meet his two sisters. But both Jeremiah Burke and Nora Hegarty lost their lives. The ship carried 2,208 people on its first trip, but only 705 people survived(幸存) at last.

In China, many people have the habit of buying a new calendar at the beginning of a new year and putting it on the wall. Usually the calendar is made of thirteen pieces of paper (a cover and the calendar for each month). The pictures in the calendar look very beautiful. But when the year is over and the calendar is no longer useful, they just throw it away.

Now some smart calendar makers get a good idea—a shopping bag calendar. This kind of calendar looks no different from other calendars. What makes it different is that it’s not made of paper, but twelve shopping bags. On every shopping bag, there is a calendar for each month. When one month is over, they can take down that month and use it as a shopping bag. You can find out the date or put things in it. It’s cool and good for the environment.

1.When do Chinese people buy a calendar?

A. At the end of the new year.

B. In the middle of the year.

C. At the beginning of the new year.

D. On New Year’s Day.

2.According to the article, usually how many pages are there in a traditional calendar?

A. 14.    B. 13.    C. 12.    D. 6.

3.Which of the following is RIGHT?

A. Shopping bag calendar looks the same as other calendars.

B. Shopping bag calendar is bad for the environment.

C. People often go shopping with the traditional calendars.

D. People often take down the shopping bag at the beginning of that month.
