It’s difficult to imagine any gifts more convenient than online flower delivery. There is no driving to the local
florist shop, no waiting on hold, and no searching for a phone number for a flower delivery service in the area you
need to send. You simply select the bouquet or arrangement, and enter the delivery and payment information.
Besides, many offer additional gifts including gift baskets, chocolates, teddy bears and so on.
Fast Flower Delivery Online
When you buy flowers online, you can get flower delivery just as fast as if you place the order in person or
over the phone. If you place your order early in the day with an Internet florist, many of the best can deliver on the
same day.
Send Flowers for Less
Customers often find better prices when buying on the Internet, because online flower shops typically have
lower prices and more discount deals. These shops have less overhead and costs, so they can pass the savings on to
the customer. In addition, you usually get a much better deal, especially at busy holidays such as Valentine’s Day,
Easter, Mother’s Day, Christmas, etc.
Spectacular Flower Selection
A typical local flower shop does not have a big selection to choose, and also, when you order flowers over the
phone you can’t see what you’ll get. Online flower shops have pictures, and still many have a spectacular selection
to choose from. Plus, if one Internet florist doesn’t have what you want, it’ll take just a few seconds to buy flowers
online from another florist site
21. What might you get on a special holiday?
A. Faster delivery. B. More discount.
C. Wider choices. D. Extra gifts.
22. In which aspect is online flower delivery better than over the phone?
A. You see pictures of the flowers.
B. You needn’t drive to the shop.
C. You can pay afterwards.
D. You have a faster service.
23. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To show the advantages of flower shopping.
B. To help run an online floral business.
C. To advertise a flower shop.
D. To promote online flower delivery.
B
Parrots live extremely long partly due to their relatively large brains; an international team of researchers has
discovered. Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, led the study, the
results of which were published in March in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.
When it comes to lifespan, birds truly stand out. Lifespan tends to increase with an animal’s body size, roughly
speaking. Thus, the bigger the animal, the longer they live. But a bird tends to live much longer than a comparably-
sized mammal. One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them,
which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth.
And among birds, parrots are the aging champions. The confirmed longest-living bird was Cookie, a Major
Mitchell’s cockatoo (a species of parrot), who lived at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois for all but one of his 83 years.
Though cockatoos often weigh around a pound, they usually live for four decades. Most of the other 398 parrot
species also live longer than other birds of similar size.
What sets parrots apart? In the new research, Smeele and his colleagues gathered data on over 130,000
individual parrots held in more than 1,000 zoos, representing 217 species. Through this data, they created reliable
estimates of the average lifespan for each species. They next searched for a link between each species’ lifespan and
its relative brain size and found a clear, positive correspondence. Parrot species with larger brains relative to their
body size lived longer than species with smaller brains.
“This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible. For flexibility allows them to
live longer.” Smeele said in a statement. “For example, if they run out of their favorite food, they could learn to find
something new and thus survive.” He added, “All parrots have relatively large brain sizes compared to most other
birds.”
Researchers have previously shown that, when trained, some parrots can recognize and understand objects,
colors, and shapes, and even speak with an impressive vocabulary. They can even match five-year-old humans on
