Can we live without salt? Of course not. Salt is very important to us. An adult usually needs 4.2g of salt every day or at least 1.5g. But do you know where we can get salt?
Most of the salt in our country comes from the sea. People dig very big pools and let the sea water in. When the Sun dries up the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and beautiful.
There are a lot of salt wells(井) in Sichuan Province. A salt well is much like a water well. How do People get salt from it? They bring the well water up to the ground and then make it dry in big jars(坛子) over fire and then they can get the white salt.
We can also get salt from salt mines (矿). People can find a salt mine under the ground. A few years ago, people in Jiangxi Province found a big salt mine and soon mined (开采)it. People living there don't need salt from other places any more.
In the northwest of our country, there are many salt lakes. Some of these lakes are very big. People can get salt from the lakes. The salt in a big lake is enough for people to eat for hundreds of years.

Giving flowers to others is a way of showing feelings to them. Although it's one of the oldest traditions, it has never lost its charm and never will. It's a simple way that speaks much for givers, much more than the most expensive gift can. A red rose carries a message of love, and a bunch of flowers can show warmth and convey a message of love. Flowers can be used in many occasions(场合), like at parties and at festivals. The choice of flowers for different occasions would be different. It depends on the thoughts or feelings you want to show. Sunflowers are often used on Father's Day, while some females' flowers such as white or red carnations(康乃馨)are often given on Mother's Day.
The language of flowers conveys much more than the spoken language does. Flowers are perfect gifts for all occasions. They carry love, cheer and warm feelings. So it's important to choose right flowers on right occasions. Keep the following rules in mind, please.
● Choosing flowers’ colors which are suitable for the occasions
● Knowing about what your friends or family like most can make our choice easy.
