When he had sat at his table he took it out to look at it. It was still dirty. He gently cleaned away the dirt. There was something  3   on the whistle. The marks looked like writing. He looked more closely and   4   some old Chinese writing. There was very little of it. All it said was: BE STILL.

      She is a cute, quite girl. As a daughter, she has no secret from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But these days she has become not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early of her age? After all she is reaching the "dangerous time". These thoughts have caused trouble in her mother's mind.

      One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn't help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that time the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and--there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, just like nothing had happened. "Mum, I 'm back." "Yeah." "Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?  Yes. Oh, That... Who's that boy?" The daughter was stunned (发愣) for some time. "Ah. It's my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I'm going to bed." "All right. Go to sleep early."

     Next morning when the mother went to the daughter's room to do some cleaning, she found her diary left on the bed. After a few minutes' thinking, she at last opened it to the page of the night before. It reads: Mum, it's love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn't.

     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 mean different things. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean "love" and sunflowers mean "loyalty" (忠诚). So people in more than 100 countries have chosen their own national flowers, which say something about their countries' spirit. China had talked about choosing a national flower. Some people liked the peony (牡丹) but others liked the plum (梅花). They couldn't agree with each other. So it has not been decided yet.

     People like to buy different flowers in different seasons. Where do all the beautiful flowers in shops come from? They may come from far away, so their price is higher.

     a. Farmers grow flowers in their fields.

     b. Planes or trains or buses take the flowers to different places.

     c. Flower shopkeepers buy flowers from the flower market. They look at the flowers and throw away the broken or bad ones. They cut the flowers to make them more beautiful.

     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 or train or bus, the seller in the flower market and the flower shopkeeper.

      So you'd better keep your flowers from far away for a long time. But how? Why not dry them? It's easy!  Sand drying is a way. Dry, clean sand is one of the oldest things for drying flowers. And it's one of the cheapest.

      ·Fill a box half-way with sand.

      ·Put the flowers on top of the sand.

      ·Put the box in a warm, dry place.

      ·Leave the flower there for one to three weeks.

      ·Take them out and they will be dry.
