It’s always great to hear news about wildlife returning to where they once lived. For the first time in 8 years the small blue --- British’s smallest butterfly--- has been seen back at a nature reserve in Hertfordshire.

This nature reserve has had a lot of work done recently in order to help butterflies. Management of the land has included bringing in sheep to keep the grass under control in a more natural way and planting wild flowers for butterfly species. The nature reserve is home to a number of butterfly species. In fact the way that this reserve has been managed means that it is probably the best reserve in Hertfordshire to see butterflies with at least 25 species now living in the area.

There are a number of threats to British butterflies and the greatest threat is the loss of their habitat.

Cambodians are continuing to mourn the death of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, who died in Beijing this week. In an exclusive interview with CCTV, China’s ambassador to Cambodia, Pan Guangxue, says Sihanouk made indelible(不可磨灭的) contributions to Sino-Cambodian relations and his death will not affect the friendship between the two countries.

Since its founding, the People’s Republic of China has maintained close contact with Cambodia. Bilateral(双边的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million US dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011.

China is now not only Cambodia’s third largest trading partner, but for many years has been Cambodia’s number one investor. Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia’s “King-Father” pioneered the relationship.

Pan Guangxue said, “If we look back at previous decades, I think Sihanouk made the right choice, a choice good to Cambodian national development. It was because of his commitment to the development of Sino-Cambodia friendship that we’ve achieved what we have today.”

In 2010, the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership, during its Prime Minister Hun Sen’s visit to China.

And 2013 is set to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year.

Pan Guangxue said, “Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on many occasions that China does not tell Cambodia what to do or what not to do. China does not point fingers at Cambodia. I think this is a true evaluation of Sino-Cambodian relations. China pursues an independent peaceful foreign policy of non-alignment(不结盟) and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”

The ambassador says Sihanouk’s death is a huge loss to both China and Cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.

Pan Guangxue said, “I believe the bilateral relationship will be sustained and grow even stronger.”

With both countries enjoying the benefits of the fruitful relationship, the governments of China and Cambodia have promised that Sihanouk’s legacy(遗产) will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.

1.We can learn from the passage that Sihanouk ________.

A．is the present Cambodian Prime Minister

B．went for an interview with CCTV the other day

C．made the right choice to encourage investment in China

D．had great influence on Sino-Cambodian relations

2.The following facts can prove the good Sino-Cambodian relations EXCEPT that _______.

A．Sihanouk was committed to Cambodian national development

B．the two countries has set 2013 to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year

C．the two countries has established a comprehensive strategic partnership

D．trade volume between the two countries has increased sharply in recent years

3.What is Pan Guangxue’s opinion on Sihanouk’s death?

A．It will more or less damage the bilateral relationship.

B．It will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.

C．It means a huge loss for both countries in economy.

D．It has very little negative effect on the bilateral relationship.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．China-Cambodia Friendship Year

B．China-Cambodia friendship to continue

C．Sihanouk’s death—a great loss to Cambodia

D．China’s peaceful foreign policy to continue
