1. Sitting with your family
If you are traveling in a family group, you should be together with your family. Why? If you sit away from each other, it's only natural that you must want to join your family group when the accident happens. If you do that it’s going to cause more problems.
2. The seat belt
How do you undo your seat belt in your car? You press a button. In a plane, you lift a latch(插销). If you can't undo your seat belt then, you -can't escape and you will lose chances of survival.
3. Facing backward
We would all be safer if airline seats faced backward. But the difficulty with this is that the passengers don't like traveling with their back facing the direction of travel. Experts suggest that the direction of seats should be changed.
4. Put on a smoke hood（头罩）
"Smoke contains toxic (有毒的) gases, narcotic(麻醉的) gases. It contains irritant (刺激的) gases. If you breathe enough of them you will die," explains Galea. He carries a smoke hood but warns that you must follow his example and learn how to use it. Otherwise you'll waste time trying to put it on time that could be used for making an exit.
5. Listen to the flight attendants
Listen to the flight attendants carefully and read the safety card after you get on the plane. Be prepared. And if you're about to crash, do 1ike this -- head down, ankles behind knees. The brace position is one of the most important things that a passenger should take on board when they fly. It’s designed to reduce your chances of being knocked during a heavy crash.

What is the main idea of the passage?
We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though,
we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.
In fact, this is one of the ways that we're tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of（失去对….的意识） time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details(细节)over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps（午觉）． Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive（感知） time again.
