look at news. ****titanics dead mourned 100 years later in poignant ceremony at sinking site at the shrill sound of a ships whistle in the north atlantic, relatives of some
of the more than 1,500 people who died when the titanic sank after hitting an iceberg
remembered their ancestors in a poignant ceremony a century later. on a still, starry
night and with little glare from the moon, the memorial cruise ship ms balmoral floated
above the wreckage of the famous unsinkable luxury liner precisely 100 years to the
day it foundered.
the ship, the biggest in the world at the time, foundered in frigid atlantic waters
off newfoundland on april 15, 1912. on saturday, balmorals ships whistle pierced the air at 11.40 pm, the exact time
the titanic hit the iceberg, followed by a two-minute silence. most of balmorals 1,300 passengers then squeezed onto the deck for a service and
hymns, and to watch three wreaths be thrown into the calm waters at 2.20am sunday

recent economic situation in china. ****china loosens currency controls on the yuan from monday, the yuan can fluctuate up to 1% in trading against the us dollar
from a fixed price set by the central bank, the peoples bank of china said. that is
up from the previous limit of 0.5%. the increase of the trading band was announced in english, a rare statement that
suggests it was targeted at foreign audiences. china has been under pressure to let the yuan appreciate. nations like the us believe that china keeps the yuan artificially low to boost
its exports, giving it an unfair trading edge. chinas decision to widen the daily trading band for its exchange rate, if
implemented in a way that allows the value of the exchange rate to reflect market
forces, could contribute rebalancing, which would be positive for china, the united
states, and the global economy, an official told reuters. he added there was still a misalignment with regards to chinas exchange rate and
more progress is needed. 3、in recent years ， several cases of school bus accidents
