• 2．What to prepare as mom's birthday present？It may be a difficult thing for some people，but for me，it is an easy thing.Mom loved flowers，so every year I sent her flowers.Actually she had a bed of irises（鸢尾花）in the backyard of her small，Indiana farm.They were beautiful. "Take some，" she said， "Dig some up and plant them on the side of your own house."
     But in my yard they became lacking in energy.A year passed，then two，but not one flower appeared.I cut back all their green leaves.I was tired of seeing them so lonely.Finally，I dug the irises up and threw them away.
     About that time Mom died unexpectedly.My sister and I sold the farm.I never went back to see the irises.I just couldn't stand seeing another family living in our home----Mom's home.Autumn came，then winter.The following spring，as Mom's birthday approached，I struggled with the question of how to remember her.I stared out of the window and saw a few stubborn irises in my side yard sprouting（发芽），-tall，thin but flowerless.Because of seeing them，I decided to order flowers as I always did on Mom's birthday，and send them to my sister.I wished so badly I could still send flowers to Mom.But that was impossible.
     On the morning of Mom's birthday，I was in my car ready to work.Something in the yard caught my eye.The irises!One had bloomed with flowers，big，showy and purple，as lovely as they ever had been on Mom's farm.I smiled and turned my eyes upward.I could no longer send flowers to Mom But somehow，she'd been able to send them to me.

• 3．Can trees talk？Yes，but not in words.Scientists have reason to believe that tees do communicate（交际） with each other.Not long ago，researchers.learned some surprising things.First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars（毛虫）changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste So terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them.Then even more astonishing，the tree sent out a special smell-- a signal （信号） causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
     Communication，of course，doesn't need to be in words.We can talk to each other by smiling，raising our shoulders and moving our hands.We know that birds and animals use a whole ：vocabulary of songs，sounds，and movements.Bees dance their signals，flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar （花蜜） for honey.So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending message？
