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 how? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who 36 corn(玉米)all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the 37 and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer 38 his seed(做种子的) 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 39 with you each year."
"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The 40 picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow 41 corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn improves.
As a great man says, "We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give." We can't 42 without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, 43 by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us 44 from other animals.
So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find 45 in their life.

An effective student must have enough sleep, enough food, enough rest and exercise. You need to go out for a walk or visit some friends or some nice places. It's good for your study.
When you return 37 your studies, your mind will be refreshed(清醒的) and you'll learn more 38 study better. Psychologists(心理学家)39 that learning takes place in this way. Here take English learning 40 an example. In the first few months you can make progress and you feel happy. Then your language study seems 41 on the same level. So you will think you're learning 42 and you may give up. This can last for days or even weeks, yet you needn't give up. At some point your language study will take another big 43 again. You'll see that you really have been learning all along. If you get enough sleep, food, rest and exercise, studying English can be very effective and interesting. Don't 44 along the way. Learn slowly and you're sure to get a good result.
