The figure was BaoBao, a three-and-a-half-year-old panda. On Feb 22, she said goodbye to the city before take a nonstop 16-hours flight to Chengdu, China. “It’s hard, and we know that we’re sending her back to be part of the breeding (繁殖) program and to make more baby panda,” Brandie Smith, senior curator of giant pandas at the National Zoo, told ABC News. “I think a lot of parents can understand the feeling. From the moment our kids are born, we train them to work hard and success on their own. So that’s why we’re doing for BaoBao.” Right after she was born, the panda became a star in Washington.

【题目】完成表格。阅读下面短文,根据其内容,完成表格中所缺的信息,并将答案填在相应题号的横线上。
You can study the English language for years but still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Native speakers say a lot of things, but you can’t find them in any dictionary. Well, don’t worry. Here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
There are different local accents (口音) across the UK, and a number of areas have several different accents, that is, they have their own vocabulary and phrases. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.
Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. For example, a language and its accents often change across class or level of education. Another example is how language can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciation used by young people in the UK can be completely different compared with those used by adults. They are creating a “yoof culture”.
The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people don’t consider “yoof” to be a positive term since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concept and identity.
When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the examining of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. Even though certain groups of society feel threatened (威胁) by “yoof culture”, new words come and go like fashions.
So learners should have no fear about communicating with native speakers. Even British people don’t speak English properly! The UK no longer owns the English language.
