My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lions must be given meat; the deer must be given grass and leaves; and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won't let the others eat their food. If this happens,  each of them must be fed separately(分离地) .

Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject（打针） a sick lion!

All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers.

The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lion's cage.

1.What kind of food must be given to the animals like tigers, lions and bears?

A．Nuts.             B．Fruit.             C．Meat.            D．Grass and leaves.

It was a touching moment at the National Zoo in Washington, US: tens of thousands of people from all over the country, and even the world, came to say goodbye to one of the area’s most popular residents(居民), BaoBao—a 3-year-old panda.

BaoBao left for her new home in Chengdu, China on Feb 22. She’s the first female panda born in the US and has won the hearts of many Americans. A number of goodbye events were held, including a dumpling party and cake feedings. Information about her flight was even made available online so that people could keep learning about her journey.

It had been decided that BaoBao must return to China according to an agreement between China and the US. In fact,most pandas around the world are borrowed from China and baby pandas born abroad will be sent back before they’re four.

Being native to China and loved around the world, the cute black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy (外交). This is known as“Panda Diplomacy”. Animal diplomacy dates back to the Tang Dynasty(唐朝), when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor. China restarted panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. The most famous was China’s gift of two pandas, Ling-Ling and Xing-Xing, to the US in 1972 after President Richard Nixon’s visit to China.

However, since early 1980s, China has stopped giving away pandas for free because their number is becoming smaller. For example, zoos in the US, UK and France“rent”pandas from China. The money they pay for the pandas, which are from tens of thousands to millions of US dollars, was used to protect and breed(繁育) the endangered animals.

Besides pandas, elephants and dogs have also been given as diplomatic gifts. In 1953, Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh sent Chairman Mao Zedong two Asian elephants as gifts as a symbol of the friendship between the two countries.

1.According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ___________.

A.people ate dumplings and cakes to celebrate BaoBao’s leaving

B.some of BaoBao’s fans would travel back to China with her

C.fans of BaoBao could find out her flight information online

D.BaoBao’s everyday activities were open to her fans in the world

2.Why did BaoBao have to return to China?

A.Because her mother was in China. B.Because of serious illness.

C.Because she was already 5 years old. D.Because of the agreement.

3.Which of these countries is not mentioned to have received pandas from China as gifts?

A.Vietnam B.UK C.France D.USA

4.From Paragraphs 4 and 5, the writer is telling us ___________.

A.Zoos in the US, UK and France “rent” pandas to make much money

B.China is not giving away pandas to foreign countries for free any more

C.Ling-Ling and Xing-Xing were gifts for the US president himself

D.The money from those foreign countries was used to help build zoos

5.Which of the following statements is TRUE about panda diplomacy?

A.Wu Zetian was the first empress to give away pandas as diplomatic gifts.

B.China has been sending pandas as gifts to foreign countries for over 60 years.

C.The panda diplomacy has never been stopped in Chinese history.

D.By 1982, China had sent pandas to 23 foreign countries as diplomatic gifts.

Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, 　 1.　 (kill) by one of the elephants he loved. This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future of London Zoo—and maybe for all of Britain’s city zoos.

London Zoo said that it 　 2.　 (move) its three elephants to a wild animal park outside London. Its director-general（总经理）, Michael Dixon, said, “We are sorry that the elephants 　 3.　 (leave); there 　 4.　　 (be) elephants at London Zoo since 1831.”

One British newspaper said that though many small animals were very interesting, most people wanted to see big animals—and most of all elephants.

London Zoo is not only losing its elephants. The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears have already gone. Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman 　 5.　 (call) Mary said she wished the zoo 6.　 (keep) big animals. “This is the only way the young people can see animals without 7.　 (travel) to other countries,” she said.

Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them. Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.

Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry. “If the elephants 8.　 (send) back to the wild, they will die. If you take away big animals, people will stop 9. (visit) London Zoo. It can survive （继续生存）at the moment, but it 　 10.　 (not survive) in the future. "

However, Mary Rosevear, director of the Federation of Zoos, believes that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals.
