Imagine a perfect day： the weather is good and everything seems fine． When， suddenly， your mobile phone loses its signal， the television has no programs， and you can't get online with your computer．
What has happened？ These are just the types of problems a solar storm（太阳风 暴）might cause． You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger． But today， a solar storm is as serious as other bad events， such as earthquakes．
A solar storm is caused by solar flares（太阳耀斑）： large explosions（爆炸）near the sun that can give off lots of energy． The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（卫星系统）that control our computers， telecom networks and so on． These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months．
In the past few months， scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years． The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day， 2011． It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China．
"Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past． We're not talking about a few cities losing power， it could be half of the country， maybe more．" SolarStorm Warning．com， a US website about space weather， warned．
Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm． Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm， although they are not sure when that may happen．

By making some preparations before you board a plane, you can make the flight much more comfortable. In fact, you can make things easier for your whole trip !
Plan a trip and find an expert in that field to give you advice. Read books about the places you are going to visit. Learn the language. Knowing a greeting or two will make the local people like you more.
Pack lightly. Too much luggage will break your trip and your back. Pack what you need, and pack well. Airline now weigh your suitcases, so you'll have to pay money if they're over the weight limit.
Don't take lots of things with you on the plane. You're only allowed to have two bags nowadays, and that includes a purse or backpack. Take only the things you need most.
Bring a few health items. You should get travel insurance(保险). To keep yourself healthy, take some medicine with you.
The workers on the plane aren't there just to serve drinks. Their main job is to keep every passenger safe. Respect and follow their instructions.
