The ways of protecting pandas.
The reasons for fewer pandas.
Pandas’ daily life at the Chengdu Reasearch Base.
Pandas’ popularity.
It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu Research Base. Panda keepers are preparing milk for the baby pandas’ breakfast. At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry. When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over!
Lin Wei, one of the panda keepers, says, “They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed and play with them every day. They’re very special to me.” In fact, many people around the world love these black and white animals. Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China.
Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo
forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forests
get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies.
An education program in Chengdu teaches children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tell
children about the importance of saving these animals. And the Chinese government is trying hard to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas.

At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies
are already awake and hungry.
英语中,awake常用于be, stay, keep, lie之后,
作表语;但也可与shake等动词搭配,表
“某人摇醒他人”等:
你得把她给摇醒。
You would have to shake her awake.
Language points
另外,awake不与very搭配使用,表示“完全醒来;十分清醒”用fully awake,wide awake。如:
等我们到达我的住所时,他已经完全清醒过来了。
He was wide awake by the time we reached my flat.
她站起身,但还没有完全清醒。
She rose, still not quite fully awake.
注意:awake不用于名词之前,因此用作定语时要后置。
她是最后一个醒着的人。
She was the last person awake.
他是当时唯一醒着的男孩。
He was the only one boy awake at that time.
2. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo.
1) 10 kilos of bamboo意为“10公斤竹子”,该结构是不可数名词量的表达法,其结构为“数词+单位名词+of+名词”。单位名词可以是单数,也可以是复数。
2) spend … (in) doing sth.意为“花费……做某事”。
They spent two years (in) building this bridge.
造这座桥花了他们两年时间。
