One midnight, a little girl was thirsty and got up to drink some water. She walked to the bedroom door and it. The little girl looked outside but walked and stood in the center of the room, because it was so in the hall and she was afraid. Her mother said： “Don’t be afraid, honey. Have courage (勇气), I believe you can do it yourself!”

Its name was THE SECRET. , I was in no mood（心情）to watch it. I sat down to study, but the in my life --- the fight, the sleepless nights and my poor health --- all came to my mind. I wanted a(n) but I wondered if there was any. Just then, I saw the DVD again. Maybe it would be helpful. I turned on my DVD player. I had no words to describe the feelings I experience I was watching it. I would not forget the moving (感人的)stories I watched that day.
Thanks to my father’s gift THE SECRET. I discovered (发现) myself. Everybody has difficulties in their lives. The important thing is that you should be enough to face them running away from them. Now I have started my studies and my friends. And I’m in good health, too. I often hear people say, “What a perfect life you have!”

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．
