cards with pictures of lovely pandas in them. They often visit the giant pandas in the zoo on their holiday and
have a good time there.
However, scientists are worried about the future of giant pandas. They know only about 1,000 giant pandas
remain alive today. They think the giant panda will die out in 30 years if the present conditions are not improved.
It is reported that the giant pandas have a very low birthrate. About 115 pandas live in zoos and research
centers mainly in China, but during the past ten years they produced only 34 young pandas that are still alive.
Survival rate for giant pandas in the wild are probably the same or lower. There are several reasons for the low
birthrate. The main reason is that male pandas can make love with females in a very short season, only a few
days a year. When they do have babies, females often produce two pandas, but the mother is usually not able to care for both of them. The new-born pandas weigh only a few grams each. They are too weak to live without
special care. In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers care for the young pandas, but those living in the wild
do not get enough help. It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas.
Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years. Pandas in China continue to reduce in
number. We know pandas live on bamboos. But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die. The pandas there
have nothing to eat and die of hunger.
Giant pandas now live in thirteen separate protected areas in China. Several years ago the Chinese
government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed on a project of protecting giant pandas in the
wild. We hope it could be helpful.
B. They are dirty.
C. They are lovely.
D. They are naughty.
B. in the zoos and research centers
C. in the area where there are plenty of bamboos for them to eat
D. in thirteen separate protected areas in our country

B. female pandas are able to have baby pandas only in a special time
B. young pandas weigh only a few grams each and they are too weak
D. male and female pandas often refuse to have babies in the right time
B. in thirteen years
C. in thirty years
D. in the twenties
