【推荐1】The possibility of being killed on a single airline flight is one in 4.7 million. Here are some lifesaving habits you are supposed to remember every time you fly.

Your carry-on bag

The safest thing to do with your carry-on is leave it on the plane. Flight crews ask you to keep your luggage clear of the aisles (通道) for a reason.     1     With as few as 90 seconds to evacuate (撤离) a burning place, the precious time spent reaching for luggage could be a life and death decision for someone.

Your seat

    2     The safest place to sit on a plane is behind the wings. A Popular Mechanics study of 20 commercial jet crashes with both fatalities (死亡) and survivors found that passengers seated in the rear cabin (behind the wings) had a 69 percent chance of survival, compared with just 49 percent for those in first class.

During a crash

The first thing you should do during a crash is put on the oxygen mask the minute it drops.

During a loss of cabin pressure, the fall in oxygen can knock you unconscious in as little as 20 seconds.     3     You can’t help if you can’t breathe.

Listen to your flight attendants. Most importantly, through any emergency, be nice to the flight attendant.

What to wear

    4     The US National Transportation Safety Board says that 68 percent of plane crash fatalities occur in post-crash fires, not in the initial impact.

Fortunately, here’s what you can plan for days in advance while you pack your suitcase: on the day you’re flying, avoid wearing synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. Instead, choose natural materials like cotton or wool. It’s also a good idea to wear long pants (like jeans) and a long-sleeved shirt for extra protection from flames and sharp objects.     5    

Sippers might seem like a good idea for braving airport security, but in the chaos of a crash or evacuation, they’ll only slow you down.

【推荐1】If you’ve recently joined a gym, or are just looking to try a new, different form of exercise, you might consider trying a group exercise class. Classes are a great way to workout. Here are a few tips to help you relax and prepare for your first class.

Choose the right class for you. Most gyms offer a wide range of different classes and choosing one that is right for you is the first step. To begin with, you need to think about what it is that you want to achieve and work from there.     1     If you’re looking for a more relaxing form of exercise that will improve your flexibility, then yoga might be a good option.

Think about what you might need.    2     Wear clothes that are comfortable and suitable for the type of exercise you’ll be doing. For example, yoga requires stretchy clothes that will allow you to move. Often classes don’t require anything out of the ordinary, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

Arrive early. Try to arrive at least 5 minutes early so you can get your bearings and think about the studio and any equipment you’ll be working with. Some classes such as weight-based classes require a lot of equipment which usually takes a few minutes to set-up.    3     So give yourself time.

    4     Group exercise is set up for a group of people to benefit from professional instruction not for participants to compete. While it is hard to resist trying and keeping up with the people around you, the best thing you can do is focus on your own body and what you’re feeling and able to handle. If you’re uncertain how an exercise is best carried out, ask your instructor.    5    

【推荐2】The relation between golf and improved mental health is strong enough for golf activists to be used as a form of treatment in a 2022 study. The results indicate that mental health benefits from playing the game.

Golf is a difficult sport, with expert timing, flexibility, speed, technique and balance required as you swing a bat around 80 — 110 mph (miles per hour).     1     Therefore, golf teaches us to accept victory and failure equally, which is an excellent state of mind to balance ups and downs of life.

    2     You can turn off your tech and concentrate on a task. It can provide a sense of calm and clearness. Spending time in green spaces or bringing nature into your life can benefit your well­being. Getting outdoors has been proved to improve mood and reduce stress and anger.     3     Golfers can receive this enough nutrient (营养物) in the body through increased exposure (接触) to sunlight.

Playing golf enables us to fight anxiety by maintaining your brain in an active problem-solving mode.     4     By keeping your brain active and in “thinking” mode, you can focus more on the game and less on the things that you may concern you. Playing golf can give off the “feel good” endorphin (内啡肽) that can fight anxiety and low spirits.

Golf is widely recognized as a low-risk sport compared to many other sports.     5     The games can be played at your own pace and for longer periods of time, which is a unique feature of golf. The chances of a sports injury are certainly lower in comparison with other sports like basketball or badminton.
