The jewellery designerHe was young and completely unknown, but Paul Waterhouse believed in himself. He’d heard that there was going to be a large exhibition for jewellery designers and he asked the organisers whether he could show some of his work. ’I was only 21,’ he says, ’and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection.’ So he went to the bank, borrowed ￡1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. ’The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised.’He decided to transfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him. ’As most of them weren’t precious, it changed the way I approached design. It was great! I was able to produce much larger pieces of modern jewellery,’ he says. ’Then I was asked by an advertising agency to design a wedding ring for a TV advert. The agency liked what I’d done, but their client, a car manufacturer, wanted something a little more traditional. I was happy to make changes and that work gave me a lot of free publicity.’ At the start of his career, Paul felt confident.（）

This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts.2 An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃. Keeping freshly. harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies.4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled By. controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to "drink" water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and ’smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each litre of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day. Another important way to prolong the life of cut flowers is______
