Two young giant-panda twins born in the United States have returned home to China, but are struggling to adapt to the language and food.

The 3-year-old sisters, Mei Lun and Mei Huan, were the first surviving panda twins to be born in the United States, and were returned to China from Zoo Atlanta on Nov. 5. But the pair still understand English better than Chinese, and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread.

A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat—from bamboos to apples—has to be mixed with biscuits. They even want to snack on (零食) biscuits when drinking water.

The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit, gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread. Mei Huan is adapting, but Mei Lun doesn't want to touch the unfamiliar bread.

Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo.

A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, and

understand some English phrases such as "come here," they don't understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese.

The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan's famously spicy cuisine.

1.Based on the passage, which statement do you think is right?

A. The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan.

B. The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes.

C. The panda twins have been used to the new environment very quickly.

D. It's hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon.

2.What does the underlined part "wean them off" in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. help them get rid of. B. help them form.

C. help them strengthen. D. help them keep.

3.From the passage we learn that of the two sisters, ________.

A. Mei Huan mainly eats bamboo

B. Mei Lun is living a more active life

C. Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei Lun

D. Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sister

It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.

According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill (跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate (调节) its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures—and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.

Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.

Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (尾气), and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

1.How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?

A. They can run more slowly.

B. They can take in more calories.

C. Their hearts can function harder.

D. Their body temperature can get lower.

2.How does summer affect runners?

A. It builds up their energy quickly. B. It makes runners tired easily.

C. It lessens runners’ stress. D. It causes heart attack.

3.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?

A. Stop driving cars. B. Do more exercise.

C. Avoid outdoor exercise. D. Run late in the morning.

4.What can be the best title of the text?

A. Refresh with a Winter Run B. Take Outdoor Exercise in Summer

C. Go to Run in a Park D. Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress
