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.
