Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. Though your chances of being in an air accident are practically zero, many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn’t do to make your journey safer when you are in the air.
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the take-off, climb, descent and landing periods of a flight, so flying non-stop can reduce these complex steps.
Choose larger aircrafts
Although small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to follow much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still work well. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem to be heard repeatedly, but it’s worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you’re on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy things in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(气流).
Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this, but it’s important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded passage on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.

The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard soon and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.
These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, an official with the water authority, said Shanghai’s water use will not increase from its present amount.
Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these goals. They will not be easy to achieve.”
He said water saving will help keep the sustainable(可持续的) development of China’s economy.
Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure(基础设施)costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the use of new technology.
“The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The rich surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”
Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is drying up.
The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to hold quality water.
Besides, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.
At present, the city has 600,000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated(整修)to use only 9 liters of water per flush.
