It is two months since MH730 first went missing in the early hours of March 8th, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Malaysia Airlines said it was terribly sorry that MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean. People are losing hope that the passengers on the could return alive and realize they should know how to save themselves when accidents like this happen in the air.
1985, an Australia professor, Ed Galea, has interviewed 2,000 survivors of 105 airplane accidents, searching for the keys to survival (n.幸存) and found out golden rules after years of research.
First, make sure that the airline does not keep your family members too far away on the plane, if you are traveling in family group. ? It’s natural that while feeling in danger, you’ll probably want to meet the family before you can calmly move out.
Second, how do you untie (解开) your seat belt on a plane? By lifting a latch. you can’t untie your seat belt, you can hardly run away and your chances of survival will drop.
Third, the to the exits (逃生口), the more likely you are to survive. Count exactly how many rows you are from the nearest two exits. Why two exits? Because this helps you find at least even in the sudden dark during an accident.
Fourth, we would be safer if airline seats faced backward, according to Galea’s research. But the problem is that most of the passengers traveling with their back facing the direction of travel.
Fifth, “Smoke is dangerous to your health. If you take in too much of it, your will die,” explains Galea. You must learn how to use a smoke mask. Without the knowledge of putting on a mask, you’ll time trying to put it on—time that could be used to run away.
At last, listen to the flight attendants before flying and look at everything shown on a video or a safety card. Always be prepared. Good luck to you.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then ? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn(玉米) to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer his seed corn to his neighbors.
“How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?”the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the with you each year.”
