Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. _4_ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view. Dont forget to forgive yourself. _5_ But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you dont do it.

By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast,you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.Brace yourself for impact ( 撞击力). As soon as youre aware that youre going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the “ten and two” position. Undo your seatbelt. _2_ Unbuckle the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cellphone call. Your car isnt going to wait for you to make the call. _3_ Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A cars electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people dont think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking. Break the window. If you arent able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, youll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counterintuitive(有悖常理的) to let water into the car._4_ Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has bee balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. _5_ While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what youre doing. AOpen the window as soon as you hit the water. BSurviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think. CIt takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually. DSuch accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning. EIn conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.
