According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before take-off and ask questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as tightly as possible. Of course, you should also know how ­to release mechanism of your belt operates. During take-offs and landings, you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before take-off you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits to so that you can find them in the dark if necessary.

 In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from them as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.

A. The ones with counted rows of seats between them

B. The ones that can be found in the dark

C. The two closest to the passenger's seat 

D. The nearest one

Answer 1

Đáp án C

Thông tin: Before take-off you should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit

Dịch nghĩa: Trước khi cất cánh, bạn nên xác định vị trí lối ra gần nhất và một lối ra dự phòng.

Như vậy có thể suy ra rằng hành khách nên xác định được hai lối ra gần vị trí họ ngồi nhất.

Phương án C. The two closest to the passenger's seat = hai cái gần với chỗ ngồi của hành khách nhất; là phương án chính xác nhất.

          A. The ones with counted rows of seats between them = cái mà có những hàng ghế được đếm giữa chúng.

“count the rows of seats between you and the exits to so that you can find them in the dark if necessary” = đếm số hàng ghế giữa bạn và lối ra để bạn có thể tìm thấy chúng trong bóng tối nếu cần thiết.

Việc đếm hàng ghế là sau khi đã xác định được 2 lối ra gần nhất.

          B. The ones that can be found in the dark = cái mà có thể được tìm thấy trong bóng tối.

“count the rows of seats between you and the exits to so that you can find them in the dark if necessary” = đếm số hàng ghế giữa bạn và lối ra để bạn có thể tìm thấy chúng trong bóng tối nếu cần thiết.

Cái có thể được tìm thấy trong bóng tối chính là chỉ 2 cái gần hành khách nhất, sau đó mới đếm số hàng ghế đề phòng bóng tối.

          D. The nearest one = cái gần nhất.

Phương án này đúng nhưng chưa đủ so với thông tin trong bài.
