吸引他们。他们遇见的困难包括雷暴天气，行动的限制，还有与拿长矛、留胡子的海盗发生的冲突。好在流利的中文给了他们很大的帮助。为了降低植物的死亡率，他们用细绳把植物固定在紧紧密封的容器里，然后附加在别的货物上运回遥远的欧洲。然而，有个问题出现了。在这些植物中，有些散发出微妙的或芬芳的气味吸引特定的甲是或黄蜂，有些释放出果味或霉味吸引某种蝙蝠或蛾，而另一些无味、花瓣颜色也不鲜明的动植物则用他们花管中的花蜜引来蜂鸟。没有这些与植物共同进化的虫媒来给它们授粉，即使给予充分的灌溉，这些植物还是大部分都延迟成熟了。BewareofAdvertisements小心广告Corporationsallhavebudgetfortheexpenseofadvertisementstopromotesales.Billboardsoverlanes,stereobroadcastandtelevisionaretheirmedia.Thesalespartlyrelyonads.However,notalladvertisershaveconscience.Thus,misleading,dishonest,orevenimmoraladsgeneratedeverywhere.Theyusevisualtechniquetoturnbadthings,suchasdrinkinglitersofalcoholicdrinksandsmokingtobacco,intodecentfashion,which,infact,ismurderingyouslowly.Consumershavenousefortheseadswhichdon'tfitin(with)theethicsandshouldbebannedtoprotectourethicalbasis.
