Passage B
A mouse at the San Diego Zoo has set a new world record for being the oldest known living mouse. The mouse, named Pat,turned nine years and 209 days old last Wednesday.
Pat is a Pacific pocket mouse. which is the smallest kind of mouse in North America.He weighs about as much as three pennies( 便 士 ).Pocket mice get their name from the special pouches(颊袋)on their bodies. The mice use them to carry food and materials they need to make their nests. The mice make their nests underground where they live during winter. They help spread the seeds of the plants and their digging underground also helps the plants grow.
Pacific pocket mice used to be found all along the coast in Southern California. But in the 1930s,humans began taking up more and more of the area where the mice normally lived. They began disappearing.By the 1970s, scientists believed that the Pacific pocket mice had died out. But in 1994,scientists found some small groups ofpocket mice in Orange County, California.
Starting in 2012, the San Diego Zoo began raising them. Animals raised by humans face fewer dangers and often live longer. Pat, whose birthday is July 14, was born in the first year of that raising program.
Until last year, 117 mice were born in all at the zoo,most of whom will be set into the wild this year. But Pat won't join them. Now he's really old for a mouse. In the wild,Pacific pocket mice usually only live for 3 to 5 years. Even when being cared for by humans,they don't usually live much longer than 7.5years.

An program in Chengdu teaches children in cities about pandas and other endangered animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the (重要性) of saving these animals. The children sing songs or make artwork about pandas and other wild animals. （teach）children is one way to help save pandas.

Passage B
A mouse at the San Diego Zoo has set a new world record for being the oldest known living mouse. The mouse, named Pat,turned nine years and 209 days old last Wednesday.
Pat is a Pacific pocket mouse. which is the smallest kind of mouse in North America.He weighs about as much as three pennies( 便 士 ).Pocket mice get their name from the special pouches(颊袋)on their bodies. The mice use them to carry food and materials they need to make their nests. The mice make their nests underground where they live during winter. They help spread the seeds of the plants and their digging underground also helps the plants grow.
Pacific pocket mice used to be found all along the coast in Southern California. But in the 1930s,humans began taking up more and more of the area where the mice normally lived. They began disappearing.By the 1970s, scientists believed that the Pacific pocket mice had died out. But in 1994,scientists found some small groups ofpocket mice in Orange County, California.
Starting in 2012, the San Diego Zoo began raising them. Animals raised by humans face fewer dangers and often live longer. Pat, whose birthday is July 14, was born in the first year of that raising program.
Until last year, 117 mice were born in all at the zoo,most of whom will be set into the wild this year. But Pat won't join them. Now he's really old for a mouse. In the wild,Pacific pocket mice usually only live for 3 to 5 years. Even when being cared for by humans,they don't usually live much longer than 7.5years.
