Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. They mainly 1 bamboo, and each panda 2 a lot of bamboo every day. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many different 3 , so pandas have 4 land to live5 . Pandas don't have many babies, and baby pandas often 6 . The situation is becoming very serious.

    Our government is working hard to save pandas. There are more than 30 natures reserves to protect pandas but these are not enough. The government has made a new plan  7 pandas. The nature reserves will be bigger and the bamboo will grow8  .Then the pandas will have enough food to eat and enough places to live in. Pandas born in the zoos may 9 live in the nature reserves.

Most people love pandas. The panda is one of the best-known  10  in the world. It is the symbol for the World Wide Fund for Nature.

    Nowadays, WeChat is becoming more and more popular in China. No matter where we are, we can sign up and send text or voice messages to our friends. We can also find a stranger to talk to by shaking the 1^. Another funny function is that WeChat can help to search for people  2 live nearby with the programme on. Many people like this function, 3 it can help them to find more people who they may know.

    In my opinion, WeChat is really4 useful chatting tool. It can help people 5 with their friends more easily.6 , it is also bad for people, especially for students .As you see, some people use WeChat 7 too long. It is not healthy to them .So I have some 8 on how to use it in a correct way. First, we should not use it when we are studying. We can't focus on our study if we use it. Second, we must be careful. We should neither show too much personal information9 trust strangers so much.

    We should learn how to use it properly. Remember, WeChat is not everything in your life.10depend too much on it.

    It was a fine spring day for a walk down the street. A mother and her two little girls walked along the sidewalk, happily laughing. 1 , hundred small alien ships appeared on the horizon. It started 2off some electric rays. People screamed. Children cried. There was 3 everywhere.

    There came the tingling sound of glasses, breaking everywhere. People fled in every 4. The mother was jostled(推) and lost hold of her5. She raced around shouting and crying for her kids. She thought they were lost to her forever.

    The sky cleared up. The aliens were 6. But there was no sight of the children. Heart-broken, the mother reached her house, crying her eyes out.

    She heard someone 7 "Mamma". Was it her kids? She frantically(发狂似地)8 around. There they were! Hand in hand they came running towards her. She ran towards them too. Her arms stretched out 9 to hug them. She opened her eyes. The pillow was wet. It was a dream!

    She raced to the kids' bedroom. Her lovely girls were sleeping peacefully. She kissed both their foreheads and 10"love you".

    In some science fiction films, people in the future have their own robots. These robots are just like humans. They help with the housework and do the most1 jobs.

    Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years, Scientists are now trying to make robots look like people and2 the same things as us. Japanese companies have already made robots walk and dance. This kind of robot will also be fun to watch.

    But robot scientist James White disagrees. He thinks that it will be3 for a robot to do the same things as a person. For example, it's easy for a child to4and know where he or she is. Mr White thinks that robots won't be able to do this. But other scientists disagree. They think that robots will be able to talk to people.525 to 50 years.

    Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people. For example, there are already robots 6 in factories. These robots look more like huge arms. They do simple jobs over and over again. People don't like to do such jobs and will get bored, But robots will7 get bored.

    In the future, there will be more robots everywhere, and humans will have8 work to do. New robots will have many different9. Some will look like humans, and others might look like10 ， After an earthquake, a snake robot can help look for people under buildings. That may not seem possible now, but computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!

    Many people like to see animals in the zoo. But do you know most of the animals in the zoo are very 1? Animals usually live in the forests or mountains. They like to live 2. But the life in the zoo is quite 3 from that in the forests and mountains. They have to stay in cages all day and wait for the zoo 4 to feed them. They can't come out of the cages. So they have to walk round and round.

    The wildlife park can solve all these 5 for them. All the animals live in the open air everywhere in the 6. They 7 stay in cages. They can run, jump and play with other animals happily. The most important thing is that they are free and happy, and they are protected there. People are not allowed to hunt in the wildlife park.

    Some of the animals in wildlife parks are friendly, but some are fearful, such as lions, wolves and tigers. But it's not dangerous 8 the animals in wildlife parks. You can take a bus to see the animals. It will be very 9 if a tiger or a bear looks at you through the window. But don't worry. 10 will happen. You are quite safe inside the bus.
