ONE. Hang a Picture with a Fork. Decorating.
用餐叉帮助挂相片。装饰类。
Having trouble getting your picture-frame wire to catch on the nail in the wall?
难以把相框线挂在墙上的钉子上？
Use a fork. Place it facing out with the handle sticking skyward and the nail or screw wedged between the middle tines.
使用一个餐叉。将它朝外放置，把手朝上。把钉子或螺丝楔入尖叉的中间。
The fork's natural contours will cause it to stick out from the wall at a slight angle.
叉子的自然轮廓会使它从墙上以一个小角度突出来。
Slide the picture wire behind the fork until it reaches the nail, then remove the fork.
移动餐叉后面的相框线，直到它碰到钉子，然后把餐叉拿开。
TWO. Reduce Wrinkles Without an Iron. Travel.
不用熨斗减少衣物褶皱。旅行类。
If your hotel room doesn't have an iron, try this trick to get the worst of the wrinkles out:
如果你的酒店房间没有熨斗，请尝试这个方法来摆脱严重的褶皱。
On a flat surface, place a damp towel over the wrinkled clothing and press down to smooth out deep creases.
在一个平面上，在有褶皱的衣服上放一个湿毛巾，按下去来消除很深的皱纹。
Then hang to air-dry. You can also use the hotel teakettle. When the water is boiling, hold your clothing item about a foot away from the steam.
然后挂起来风干。你也可以使用酒店的烧水壶。当水沸腾时，把你的衣服放在离蒸汽一英尺远的地方。
THREE. Don't Leave Your Car On While You Fill Up. Auto.
车辆加油前请关闭发动机。汽车类。
According to the Petroleum Equipment Institute, static electricity can ignite vapors from the gas station pump, starting a fire.

This is more likely in colder months, when the air is dry. Make sure your engine is off before you reach for the nozzle,
在寒冷的月份，空气干燥，更容易出现这个情况。确保在加油前关闭发动机。
and avoid getting back into the car—which creates static when your clothing rubs against the seat—until you've finished refueling.

如果你的耳朵、手或脸颊上的皮肤出现红色、干燥或发痒，拿出一个家用工具包来检测可疑金属(它们也用于珠宝和皮带扣)。
