Two young giant-panda twins born in the United States have returned home to China, but are struggling to adapt to the language and food.
The 3-year-old sisters, Mei Lun and Mei Huan, were the first surviving panda twins to be born in the United States, and were returned to China from Zoo Atlanta on Nov. 5. But the pair still understand English better than Chinese, and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread.
A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat—from bamboos to apples—has to be mixed with biscuits. They even want to snack on (零食) biscuits when drinking water.
The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit, gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread. Mei Huan is adapting, but Mei Lun doesn't want to touch the unfamiliar bread.
Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo.
A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, and
understand some English phrases such as "come here," they don't understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese.
The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan's famously spicy cuisine.
1.Based on the passage, which statement do you think is right?
A. The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan.
B. The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes.
C. The panda twins have been used to the new environment very quickly.
D. It's hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon.
2.What does the underlined part "wean them off" in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. help them get rid of. B. help them form.
C. help them strengthen. D. help them keep.
3.From the passage we learn that of the two sisters, ________.
A. Mei Huan mainly eats bamboo
B. Mei Lun is living a more active life
C. Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei Lun
D. Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sister
