The San Diego Zoo has been a lovely home for giant pandas since two of the black-and-white bears came to visit in 1987. This week there was snow in San Diego—well, at least for a lucky group of giant pandas.
Over 15 tons of snow was blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area on Tuesday morning to give the endangered bears a chance to play. They would experience the snow just like living in their natural habitat.
The snow day was a first for Xiao Liwu whose name means "Little Gift." He was the sixth baby panda born to Bai Yun. Xiao Liwu was jumping on Mom, playing with her and getting used to being thrown in the snow by mama bear. Jennifer Becerra, San Diego Zoo keeper said, "He was really enjoying the snow and running around. I've never seen him so happy."
All the San Diego Zoo’s giant pandas are from China, as part of a long-term captive breeding(人工养殖) program. Four of Xiao Liwu's brothers have already been moved from California to China.
Today there are 44 giant pandas living in zoos outside of China, where the bears' only natural home is. As just 1,600 pandas are thought to be left in the wild, researchers insist that captive breeding is an important way to study and protect the endangered pandas. Not only because of the habitat loss from human activities and low reproductive rates(繁殖率), giant pandas' survival is also affected by climate change. A study showed that global warming could kill much of the bears' main food, bamboo, over the next century.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
【小题1】What is the happiest person according to the passage?
| A．A child who can do whatever he likes. |
| B．An old person who lives in a comfortable life. |
| C．A grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him. |
| D．A person who never wastes his time in his whole life. |
| A．He has few responsibilities to make life difficult. |
| B．He doesn’t have to do anything in return. |
| C．He is not so free to do what he wishes to do. |
| D．He has to work if he wants to live comfortably. |
| A．Life for a child is fairly easy. |
| B．A child is always loved whatever he does. |
| C．If much is given to a child, he must do something in return. |
| D．Only children are interested in life. |
| A．Life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains. |
| B．Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard. |
| C．Childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life. |
| D．One is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life. |
| A．Examples of successful young men. |
| B．How to build up one’s position in society. |
| C．Joys and pains of old people. |
| D．What to do when one has problems in life. |

Money, jewels and important documents may not be the only valuables placed in banks these days. Some mothers store their breast milk (母乳) in banks.
There are ten breast milk banks across the United States, where mothers can donate their extra milk for other women’s babies.
Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization says it is the only food babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. Breast milk is especially important for babies born too early. Sometimes these premature babies must stay in the hospital for many weeks.
James Cameron is a doctor who treats newborns at Lutheran Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He says breast milk is almost like medicine. Doctor James Cameron says, “The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in the breast milk that the mom’s able to make that help provide immunity (免疫力). It’s very important for the health of the newborn.”
Lucy Baur lives near Fort Wayne. She breastfed both her children and always had more milk than they needed. She wanted to donate to the Indiana Mothers Milk Bank in Indianapolis. But freezing and shipping milk can be costly. Then, a donor station opened near her home.
Milk donations in the United States work like this. Donors must be willing to provide almost three liters of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers’ milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria. After that, the technicians test samples of all the milk to make sure it is safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies.
Donors are tested for diseases before any milk is accepted. They are not permitted to smoke tobacco, use illegal drugs or drink too much alcohol.
【小题1】According to the passage, which thing can also be stored in banks except money, jewels and important documents?
| A．Notes. | B．Diamonds. | C．Valuable papers. | D．Breast milk. |
| A．Lucy Baur wanted to donate her milk to the donor station near her home |
| B．the milk is frozen and sent to the milk station after killing bacteria |
| C．the milk bank transports the milk to babies’ home to feed them |
| D．James Cameron is a doctor who feeds the babies on the milk in the milk station |
| A．only it can stop babies from developing diseases |
| B．it contains rich nutrients (营养) babies need |
| C．it is the only food suitable for babies |
| D．it benefits babies as the best medicine |
| A．A heavy smoker. | B．A heavy drinker. |
| C．A fruit lover. | D．A drug user. |
| A．store extra fresh milk for some school children |
| B．provide milk to the children who go hungry |
| C．help other mothers donate milk to their own babies |
| D．offer breast milk to early born and unhealthy babies |
