As summer ends and fall begins, you can still enjoy spring flowers inside! It's an easy way to make your home look pretty．Some flowers grow from seeds．Other flowers grow from bulbs (球莖)．Some bulb flowers are easier than others to grow inside．A good one to try first is called a paperwhite．As many as twelve sweet-smelling flowers can grow from one paperwhite bulb．

But how can you grow one inside? Please follow those steps below:

1.Find a large glass jar (罐) that is clear enough to see through．Fill the jar almost to the top with stones or shells．This will give the bulb's roots something to hold on to as they grow．It will also give you a place to set the bulb．

2.Place the bulb on top of the stones．The bottom of the bulb is the part that is pointed, like the bottom of a heart shape．Push the bulb into the stones just far enough to make it stay．

3.Fill the jar with water．Use just enough water to cover just the bottom part of the bulb．

4.Put the jar in a place where the bulb will get plenty of light．Check every day to make sure there is still the right amount of water in the jar．Add water when it is needed．Soon the roots will start to grow．In a few weeks, you can enjoy watching the flowers bloom (開花)．

Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation (發(fā)音) will be excellent．Just send …" and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that．The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue．And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature (文學) of the country．

Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want．Every year many millions of people start learning one．How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes．If

they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school．A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day．

It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken．However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary．They need the language in order to do their work better．For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to

read books and reports in the foreign language．Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work．Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students' work for them．

A. speak to each other

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, D.C., in the United States．It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans．The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks shops in Seattle．

Things really began to change for the company in 1981．That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran (經營) Starbucks．Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment．He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers and he was curious about the company．Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw．He wanted to become part of the company．In 1982, the original (原先的) Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing．

In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy．The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye．To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work place, and coffee bar．His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle．

Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers (顧客) everywhere seemed to like it． Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new shops—and that was only the beginning．In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks shops opened somewhere around the world every day!

Today, Starbucks has thousands of shops, including shops in twenty-six countries．One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local shops and restaurants．By working together with a store already

in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city．This understanding helps Starbucks open shops in the right locations for their customers．
