15、to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature.For example,studies have shown that cut carnations(康乃馨)retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12oC than when kept at 260c.Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important

16、 aspect of flower care.3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long.Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects,such as bees,for pollination(授粉).After that,they quickly dry up and die.The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide(二氧化碳),called res

17、piration(呼吸),generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour.The making of seeds also depends on this energy.While all living things respire,flowers have a high level of respiration.A result of all this respiration is heat,and for flowers the level of heat relative to t

18、he mass of the flower is very high.Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower.Thus the greater the level of respiration,the sooner the flower dies.4 How,then,to control the rate at which flowers die?By controlling respiration.How is respiration controlled?By controlling temperatu

19、re.We know that respiration produces heat,but the reverse is also true.Thus by maintaining low temperatures,respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed.Flowers find it difficult to“d

20、rink”water that is dirty or otherwise polluted.Even when water looks and smells clean,it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers.To rid the water of these unwanted substances,household chlorine bleach(含氯漂白剂)can be used in small quantities.It is recommended that 15

21、drops of chlorine bleach(at 4%solution)be added to each litre of water.The water and solution should also be replaced each day.A Control of Respiration B Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers C Role of Respiration D Most Important Aspect of Flower Care E Need for Clean Water F Ways of Stopping Respiration 23

24、d In the last 500 years,nothing about people-not their clothes,ideas,or languageshas changed as much as what they eat.The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree（可可树）by South American Indians.The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s.And although

25、it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places.Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World.Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown.Ireland became so

26、dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine(饥荒)”of 18451846,and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World.But some others went in th

27、e opposite direction.Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia,a country in Africa.It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend,coffee was dis

28、covered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the“wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with.31 According to the passage,which of the following has changed the most in t

32、il it has been read aloud by someone,teacher or student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it al

33、oud,and the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling“interpretation”of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting(背诵)it.I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a
