It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu Research Base. Lin Wei, a panda keeper, is preparing the milk for the baby pandas' {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（早餐）. At 9:00 a.m., she finds that most of the babies are already {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（醒着的）and hungry. When the babies see Lin Wei, they run over with excitement, and some of them even {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（行走）into their friends and fall over. They're so cute and lovely. Lin Wei takes care of them like they're her {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（自己的）babies. She washes, feeds and plays with them every day.

    Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（死亡）from illness 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 now pandas are in great {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（危险）. People cut down many bamboo trees so they are losing their homes. There are about 1,590 {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（野生的）pandas living in the forests in Sichuan, Shanxi and Gansu provinces. Another 200 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries.

    It's a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（遗憾）that many people don't know that. So the government has set up an education program in Chengdu. It teaches children in cites about pandas, and tells them about the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（重要性）of saving the pandas. But teaching children is only a way to help {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（保护）environment and save pandas. The Chinese government is also planting more bamboo trees so there will be more forests for pandas to live in. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot of pandas than now.

We are discussing{#blank#}1{#/blank#} {#blank#}2{#/blank#} {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a picnic.

—They are on the table.

    Nowadays, more and more Chinese teenagers are becoming homebodies (someone who enjoys being at home). They{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(很少) or never play sports outside. The problem should get plenty of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (注意) of parents.

    Pressure of heavy schoolwork causes this situation. Hu Mei, a homebody from Nanshan {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(语言) School in Shenzhen, is busy with lots of homework. "I don't want to get behind or {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(不及格) the exam," she said.

    Li Juan, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (另一个) homebody, was born in 2002. She watches popular TV plays and plays with her {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(可移动的) phone at home. She hates playing outdoor sports. Even if this isn't a problem, kids still prefer indoor life. Wang Yi, 13, from No.50 Middle School in Anhui Province, often reads some{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(小说) about Harry Potter and surfs the Internet. "I prefer doing things I like at home to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(出席) a concert outside," she said.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(国外) students think quite differently. They don't like staying indoors at all. They spend their free time outdoors even if it just means going to the park or reading a book under the tree. Nice weather, little homework and rich after-school {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(活动) get them to do that.
