You probably have a first-aid kit at home for your family-but what about your family pets? You need to be ready if your furry friend faces an emergency at home. What's more, as the weather gets warmer, more pet owners take their pets with them when they leave the house-on vacation, to the park, jogging, hiking and even swimming. That can be fun for you and your pet, but there's a chance that your pet will get hurt there, as well. So, it's important to know some of the basics of first aid for your pet if necessary.
If your pet is exposed to long periods of heat and sunlight, she will be easy to get heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Signs of heat exhaustion are breathless, anxiousness, dry gums and red skin most easily seen on the ears.
If either of these occurs, cool the pet right away and, as always, get her to the vet. Put the animal in a shaded or air-conditioned area, and wet the body with cool water. Rubbing isopropyl alcohol on the belly and fanning the area will help drive away the heat. If a pet is suffering from heatstroke, don't try to give her water. Get her to the vet immediately.
If you see an animal that's been hit by a car, or you hit one accidentally, first be cautious of all oncoming traffic before trying to reach the animal. Approach carefully. Even a severely injured animal can bite you.
As someone helps with directing traffic, cover the animal with a blanket or towel. If the animal cannot stand on her own, there's a good chance that there are neck, back or head injuries, so try to gently transfer the animal to a flat surface. Then transport that flat surface to the nearest vet. Picking up or hand-carrying the animal may worsen the injuries.

Travel is fun and exciting, but it's not if you get sick．You may think,“Not me, I won't get sick on my vacation．”But for many people, that is what happens．
A vacation is supposed to be a time for relaxing．But very often it is not．“What can I do when I am a tourist?”This is what we should often think about．Usually there are so many places to visit：museums, shops, parks and churches．You may spend most days walking around these places．This can be very tiring．Your feet may hurt．And you may have a terrible headache after a few hours．If this is what you feel, you should take a rest．Don't ask your body to do too much．A tired body means a weak body．And a weak body can make you get sick easily．Just sit down for a few hours in a nice spot．In good weather, look for a quiet park bench．Or you can rest at a café．You can learn a lot by watching people when you have a rest．
Sleep is also important．If you want to stay healthy you need enough sleep．You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel．Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be uncomfortable．If that is true, don't be afraid to change rooms or hotels．You may not get enough sleep for another reason．You may want to stay out late at night．In many cities the night life can be very exciting．Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day．That extra hour can make a big difference．
Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well．That means eating the right kinds of foods．Your body needs fresh fruit and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese．When you are in a new country you may want to try new foods but you need to be careful about how much you eat．Lots of rich food is not very good for you．

Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.
Choose larger aircraft
Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply(遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem repetitious(重复的), but it’s worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you’re on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(气流).
Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this, but it’s important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.
