Questions 13 refer
to the following text.
Gardenia
plants
Gardenia plants are popular for the strong sweet scent of their flowers.
Gardenia is the national flower in Pakistan. In Japan and China, the flower is
called Kuchinashi (Japanese) and Zhi zi (Chinese).
Gardenia plants are evergreen shrubs. Their small trees can grow to 1 - 5
meters tall. The leaves are 5 - 50 centimeters long and 3 - 25 centimeters
broad, dark green and glossy with a leathery texture. The flowers are in small
groups, white, or pale yellow, with 5-12 lobes (petals) from 5-12 centimeters
diameter. They usually bloom in mid- spring to mid-summer. Many species have
strong aroma.
To
cultivate gardenia as a house plant is not easy. This species can be difficult
to grow because it originated in warm humid tropical areas. It demands high
humidity and bright (not direct) light to thrive. It flourishes in acidic soil
with good drainage and thrives on 20° – 23° C during the day and 15° – 16° C in
the evening. Potting soils developed specifically for gardenias are available.
It grows no larger than 18 inches in height and width when grown indoor. In
climates where it can be grown outdoors, it can reach the height of 6 feet. If
water hits the flowers, they will turn brown.

Fiji is a collection of over a hundred
inhabited islands in the South Pacific; most are the image of what a perfect
desert island should be. So it’s no surprise there are a lot of upmarket
hotels and beach cabanas available for rich tourists and honeymooners.
For budget tourists, you don’t have to be
worried. Fijians have long experience to cater the needs of different type of
tourists. So they also provided affordable, youth hostel accommodation for
backpackers in places like Yasawa. Here charming and hospitable locals will
help you to feel part of their lives, inviting you to see their fishing
villages and coral gardens – even taking you fishing with them, if you want
to.
However beautiful and relaxing these islands
are, the feeling of being a tourist remains. It’s not an uncomfortable
sensation, but if your wish to see this country’s true way of life, then you
should visit the main island of Viti Levu. This is the cultural hub of Fiji,
where three quarters of it’s population live and where you can experience real
Fijian culture.
