Dealing with a nosebleed (鼻出血) might seem simple. But recently, the British RED Cross asked parents with young children how to help a child with a nosebleed. About 65 percent of parents did not 1 the correct action to help.
Learning what to do if a little one has a nosebleed will help you 2 the situation quickly and calmly. Here, Claire shares the story of how she helped her daughter when her 3 was bleeding.
On a very hot and sunny day, Claire took 4 daughter Bella, aged almost three and a half, to the park. On the way home, Bella fell 5 in the car.
When they got home, Claire found something was wrong 6 Bella.
"As I was laying her down, blood started 7 from her nose. It was all over her face and down her neck and that made me 8," Claire said.
Having already learned first aid, Claire knew 9 to do.
"Bella got upset because of all the 10. I sat her up and leant (倾斜)her forward and 11 the sides of her nose," Claire said.
"I knew this wasn't 12 , as leaning her forward would stop the blood from going into her airway or stomach."
13, Bella's nosebleed stopped after a few minutes.
Claire was glad that she had remembered the key 14 to help children with a nosebleed: to pinch the soft part of their nose and ask them to lean forward.
In fact, every parent should 15 first aid. Then he or she can save the child in a right way.
A survey about the students' free time activities
(Li Lin and Li Wei are on the station platform (站台), saying goodbye to each other.)
Li Lin: Tell Mum and Dad I'll miss them…I'll miss you all.
Li Wei: And we'll miss you, too.
Li Lin: See you at the Spring Festival.
Li Wei: Take care. Bye!
(Li Lin gets on the train and looks for his seat)
Li Lin: Excuse me, sir. I'm afraid you're sitting in my seat.
Elderly man: I'm sorry, young man. What did you say? I can't hear very well.
Li Lin: You've taken the wrong seat.
Elderly man: Really? Let me look at my ticket. Ah, here it is! Car 9, Seat 12A. This is Seat 12A, isn't it?
(The ticket officer arrives)
Ticket officer: Tickets, please. Please have your tickets ready.
Elderly man: Excuse me, is this Seat 12A?
Ticket officer: Yes, it is. Let's have a look at your ticket. Oh, I see the problem. This is Seat 12A, but you should be in Car 9. This is Car 8.
Elderly man: Oh, how stupid of me! I'd better go and find Car 9.
(The elderly man gets up and starts to collect his bags.)
Li Lin: Wait a moment, sir! Please stay here. I'll take your seat in Car 9.
Elderly man: Well, that's very good of you. Thank you.
Ticket officer: Yes, thank you, young man.
In my opinion, China's "Double Reduction" Policy (“双减”政策) aimed at easing (减轻) education-related pressure on parents and children is effective. Now take my home as an example to show how it works.
"Dad! Get up! You promised to take us to the zoo today!" my two daughters shouted together one recent Saturday morning. The clock had just struck seven, but our house had already gotten noisier than the monkeys in the zoo!
For families with children, weekends have become very different. In the past, my wife and I could at least sleep in (睡懒觉). Then at 9 o'clock, we had to wake up the kids. After throwing them into a tutoring class (辅导班), we could enjoy several hours to ourselves. But now, these classes are gone altogether. Kids, of course, are happy about this. Every Tuesday or Wednesday evening, my girls would ask me, "Where are we going to spend this coming Saturday?"
Luckily, there are still some classes for them to attend. On Sundays, my girls go to learn ballet and chess. They really enjoy their time there. My elder daughter is old enough to read quietly on her own. On lucky days, we can get her to read together with her sister. Still, a quiet "competition" is on. My girls sometimes talk about how their classmates have spent an exciting weekend. It's their way of complaining about my laziness.
Weekends are more tiring now for parents, but I think they are good for kids. After all, childhood should be more than just studying school subjects. It should be more colorful.
Many people like animals and take them as their pets. Nowadays pet hospitals are very busy. Persons who love animals are needed to work in busy animal hospitals.
What about a robot for a pet? This may sound silly, but it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to bark like real dogs. These "pets" might become more and more popular in the future. After all, robots don't lose hair or chew on things the way real pets do.
Lots of people miss their pets while they are on holiday. One hotel in Minnesota, USA, has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests. Many experts believe this idea will become more and more popular. It is very possible that in the future you will be able to order a pet, as well as room service, at a hotel.

What's the Silk Road? In history, it was an important international trade route贸(易路线) between China and the Mediterranean Sea (地中海). The Silk Road began in the Western Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,000 years.
In the past, the road started in Chang'an（now Xi'an）and ended in Eastern Europe near the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6,500 kilometers long and went across 1/4 of the world.
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk was famous, and traders carried it to other places along this road. Traders also carried porcelain and other things to the West. And glass, gems and food like carrots from the West came to China.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an international trade route. Lots of arts and science of other countries came to China across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures influenced each other.
Today, China is trying to make the dream of the Belt and Road come true.
Beep! Beep! Beep! The barcode (条形码) technology makes it faster and easier to buy things in stores. You have probably seen the black-and-white barcode on (product) packaging (外包装) . In 2022, the great invention is 51 years old.
In 1971, an IBM engineer named George Laurer (come) up with a code (代码) that could be printed on food packages. Then, a complete code system (系统), the barcode was formed later. The system was used by many (company) from 1973. Before this, shopkeepers had to (record) prices by hand which took much time and energy.
Actually, a barcode is (real) a simple idea: show each product's information in different numbers (just like the ID card number), then (include) these numbers into a code and print it for computers to read. Today, barcodes are scanned (扫描) over six billion times every day and used by two (million) companies.
What information does a barcode carry? Where the product comes from, (it) price, production date…It can also help stores always (know) about their products. For example, if there are 10 boxes of milk and a customer buys one, it will be recorded so that the store owner knows there are nine boxes (leave) on the shelf. In the 1980s, libraries started to use barcodes to follow their books in this way.
