Almost all people like flowers. Some people like flowers because of their smells, shapes, colors and so on. Others like flowers because they think different flowers have different meanings. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean “love” and sunflowers mean “loyalty”(忠诚). People in more than 100 countries have chosen their own national flowers which say something about their countries’ spirit. In 1994, China announced to choose a national flower. Some people liked the peony(牡丹) but others liked the plum blossom(梅花). They couldn’t agree with each other. So it has not been decided yet.

d. You go to buy the flowers in the shops. When you buy a flower, you’re paying lots of people: the farmer, the driver of the plane, train or bus, the seller in the flower market and the flower shopkeeper.
So you’d better keep your flowers for a long time. But how? Why not dry them? It’s easy! Sand drying is a way. Dry and clean sand is one of the oldest things for drying flowers. And it’s also one of the cheapest ways.
?Fill a box half-way with sand.
