Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places，the Forbidden City in Beijing，China．It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China，the Ming and Qing Dynasties．

The Forbidden City was built in 1420．The palace has over 10，000 rooms．It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers．

In Mandarin(普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However，the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China．It was so sacred（神圣的） that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in．

The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City．During Chinese New Year，the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes．It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations（代）．

Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world．Everyone can go in there．It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques（古董）and treasures in it．

I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City．It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see．

About thirty years ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled way of transportation became less and less popular later.

But these months you can see a revival(复兴) of bikes across China. More and more people choose to ride bikes instead of driving to schools, workplaces or parks. Some start-up companies（新兴公司） like Ofo and Mobike came up with the bike-sharing plans. They have brought the plans to people’s daily life and developed it to a new level.

Unlike other sharing plans around the world, China’s bicycles can be picked up and left anywhere. The bicycles are locked by the user after riding and then unlocked by the next rider by using a mobile APP and scanning(扫描)a QR code on the bike.

People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide a good solution to the “last mile” problem, which means the final leg of a person’s journey.

China’s government praised Mobike and Ofo last month. They said that bike-sharing was a good way of cutting air pollution and traffic pressure.

Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision, big or small. Most decisions aren’t life-changers. But often, the decision isn’t between this or that; it’s between acting or not. If this challenges you, here are some tips. 

Jog or ride a bike to nowhere. Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar. Walk down every street or path you can find until you lose your way. Then, see where you end up. Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going? Try to lose yourself more often. It’ll make you better at making a decision. 

Sit outside without any technology for an hour. Let yourself get bored. Can you hear the birds singing? The wind blowing? Yourself breathing? Try to do this once a week, then every other day, then every day. One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted to new things. A break from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to make.

Do something that scares you. People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes. Tell someone you love them. Laugh out loud in a public place. Give a speech to a stranger. And when you do this, remember how you feel.When you’re sacred by a risky situation the next time, tell yourself that you did not lie. And try to trust the process in the future.    

Some of these things may seem silly, but the more you do them, the more you’ll control yourself. It doesn’t matter where you’re going. Just go. Once you start moving, you can always change direction.

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Well, ni-hao. (Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world.

That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments(国会) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between countries aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders — they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of America’s foreign policy(政策).

Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business andcompetewith companies across the world. And we can text, email, skype with people in the world.

So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders — experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own. Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”

You know, having a dangerous medical situation will happen during all of our lives. What I want to talk about is how to stop a bleeding nose.

The first step is to have the person sit quietly while you perform the steps of stopping the bleeding nose. Soft paper can be placed into the two holes at the end of your nose that is bleeding. Make sure that you don't place too much soft paper in, as you may not feel comfortable when you move the soft paper away from the holes in the nose.

Then hold your nose together between your thumb and finger at the cartilage（软骨）area where the bridge of the nose is hard. That will make less blood move to the holes in the nose. After five minutes to twenty minutes, the nosebleed should come to a stop. After the nosebleed stops, the soft paper can be moved away. Another way that commonly works is to place a piece of ice under the lip between the gum（牙龈）and the lip, as this will reduce the size of the blood vessels（血管）leading to the nose. If it is too late to take any action, the head should be raised where blood can be moved from the hole in the nose to the stomach area.

I'm Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and come to see me if you are in trouble with healthy problems.

根据短文内容,回答下列问题。

1.What is the first step to stop a bleeding nose?

2.Which part of the nose should be held tightly（紧紧地）?

3.When will the nosebleed come to a stop?

4.What else can you do to stop a bleeding nose?
