Understand the expressive role of "only" and "only" in sentences.

("Only" emphasizes that it is limited to the pink variety. The word "only" indicates a very short time, indicating that artificial selection speeds up the process of bonus. The word "just" emphasizes that artificial cultivation takes place in a very short period of time. Create colorful and colorful flowers in a short period of time)
