大象是现存世界最大的陆栖动物，主要外部特征为柔韧而肌肉发达的长鼻和扇大的耳朵，具缠卷的功能，是象自卫和取食的有力工具。象肩高约2米，体重3～7吨。非洲象耳大，体型较大，体重较重。亚洲象耳小，身体较小，体重较轻。
Panda

(standing on two legs)

— eats 10 kilos of food a day
Example sentences:
This elephant weighs many times more than this panda.
(200 cm taller/shorter, weigh much more/less, eat much more/less, eat many times more)
大熊猫最奇特的一点是新生儿在出生时相当的不成熟，体重仅是它母亲体重的0.1%，平均为145克左右，约为成年的千分之一。照顾孩子是一项非常艰巨的任务，通常历时18个月，有时长达两年，直到她的下一个孩子出生。

阅读策略：Scanning
This means moving your eyes quickly down the page to find specific information.
略读时，只需读每一段第一句话（较长的段落，读前两句）。第一句话常是整段讨论的主题。在结论段，重点可能在最后一句。阅读时，把文本标出来，是帮助回答问题好方法。可将关键词画线或在段落旁写下本段主题，一两个字就够了，关键在于涵盖全文的速度。?
　 略读时遇到不懂单词，试观察前后字来猜出意思。比如，在不懂的单字前面是形容词，那么这个字可能会是名词；在不懂的单字之前是副词，那么这个字可能会是动词。只要了解段落大意就好了。
