“ Oh , my dearie , if flowers can’t speak , how       the spring is , and who will look around it ? ”
The little girl smiled with       .
At the age of 16 , the girl asked her father , “ Can the stars in the sky speak ? ”
“ Oh , my daughter , if the stars can speak , the sky will be noisy , and who will       for the peaceful heaven ? ”
The little girl smiled with satisfaction again .

“ Great ! ” the diplomat had no       of flattering（恭维）, “ When you spoke , it was like the melodious music ; though you spoke so much , it was not       ; when you were silent , you were like a fragrant lotus flower ; though quiet , it involved everything … Sweetheart , can you tell me how you       it ? ”
His wife said with a smile , “ At the age of 6 , I learned from my mother as a teacher       to dialogue with nature . At the age of 16 , I learned from my father as a writer when to speak and when not . Before I       you , I learned from historians , philosophers , writers , musicians and diplomats what kind of speech I should       when I meet different kinds of people . Honey , I have also       thoughts , wisdom , courage and love from you ! ”
