Question

【题目】The Eastern Star overturned (翻倒) on the night of June 1st in the Yangtze River. More than 400 people died. How can we save ourselves when we meet the same accident (事故)? The following can help us a lot.

It depends on water temperature that how long we can live after falling into water. And there are two other things we can do to make us live longer.

Don’t struggle in water. Just relax your body and try to float (漂浮) on the water with the help of a life jacket. If you don’t have a life jacket, find something to make you float.
