     Young men are always ready to give flowers to young ladies when they are in love. This tradition may
have come from Turkey.
     In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other baskets full of strange things. The baskets were delivered(递送) secretly by the person who sold flowers or fruit on the street to
the person's door.
     These baskets included a variety of "gifts":flowers, stones, feathers, wax(蜡), and even charcoal(炭).
Each thing in the basket had a special meaning, By figuring out the secret message contained in  each item (项目 ),  the person who received the basket began to understand the true feelings of the person who sent it.
     This idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to Germany, France and England. However, as time passed, only sending flowers, remained popular.
    Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received . Not all of the dictionaries agreed,  however, on the meaning of each flower,  so a person
had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send.
     By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion,  and the more direct way of
sending love letters began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind
of flower has been lost.

     Many earthquakes (地震) happen without warning, so it is important to know what to do wherever you
are during an earthquake. Here are some top tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. 
    ◆ Keep a cool head. Worry may make bad decisions. Think about what you should do. The first several
seconds are important. 
    ◆ If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a heavy desk and protect your head. Stay away from
windows and anything that could fall on you.
    ◆ If you are in a crowded hall away from the door, don't rush to the exit. You will find too many people
trying to get out at the same time. Instead, hide under a desk or a table. Do not get into a lift during an
earthquake!
    ◆Stay in a safe area until you are sure it's OK to leave. Some aftershocks (余震) may follow an earthquake.
These are as dangerous as the earthquake. 
    ◆If you are at home and you smell gas, open a window and leave the building quickly.
    ◆ If you are outdoors, find a clear place away from buildings, trees, street lights and power lines.
    ◆If you are buried in debris (埋在废墟), you may make noises by knocking at the rocks. Shouting will use
