Six. Preserve Your Laptop's Battery It sounds counterintuitive, but unplugging your laptop can help save its battery.
保護筆記本電腦的電池這聽起來有點違反直覺，但拔掉筆記本電腦的電源插頭可以幫你節省電池。
The capacity of the lithiumion batteries most laptops use diminishes slightly with each charging cycle, so keeping it plugged in when you don't need to degrades its capacity more quickly.
大多數筆記本電腦使用的鋰離子電池的容量在每次充電周期中都會略有下降，所以當你想快速降低容量時，就把它插在電源上。
Aim to keep the charge between 50 and 80 percent. A good strategy?

訓練你的狗跟隨你的牽引的方式是先帶著狗進行不分心的散步。
The best place to do that: inside your house. "After your dog has successfully walked next to you on the leash in your home,
最好的地方就是：你家里。“在狗狗成功地可以跟隨你的牽引在你家里漫步后，
advance to the backyard, then a few houses down, and so on," Hartstein says.
再到后院，然后是幾棟房子，等等，”哈特斯坦說。
