A giant panda from the Beijing Zoo has been saved by a transfusion（输血）of blood from two black bears. But it’s still under special care, according to the Beijing Zoo.
Yong Liang, two years old, is the first giant panda raised from birth in the zoo. Last month zoo keepers found the panda was suffering from serious anemia（贫血）, calling for urgent（紧急的）blood transfusion.
The best way, according to zoo’s experts（专家）, to save Yong Liang from anemia would have been to transfuse blood from another panda. But it was the breeding（繁殖） season for giant pandas, making such a transfusion very difficult.
But the experts found that there is a close consanguinity（血缘）between giant pandas and black bears, so they decided to try to take blood from black bears in the zoo and transfuse it to Yong Liang.
With the help of hospitals and Beijing Blood Donor Station（献血站）, they make an experiment which proved that the red blood cells（细胞）in the blood of black bears can be used.
On the afternoon of February15th the first red blood cell transfusion was given to the giant panda, from 600ml of black bear blood. Immediately the young panda started to get well again.

The San Diego Zoo has been a lovely home for giant pandas since two of the black-and-white bears came to visit in 1987. This week there was snow in San Diego—well, at least for a lucky group of giant pandas.
Over 15 tons of snow was blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area on Tuesday morning to give the endangered bears a chance to play. They would experience the snow just like living in their natural habitat.
The snow day was a first for Xiao Liwu whose name means "Little Gift." He was the sixth baby panda born to Bai Yun. Xiao Liwu was jumping on Mom, playing with her and getting used to being thrown in the snow by mama bear. Jennifer Becerra, San Diego Zoo keeper said, "He was really enjoying the snow and running around. I've never seen him so happy."
All the San Diego Zoo’s giant pandas are from China, as part of a long-term captive breeding(人工养殖) program. Four of Xiao Liwu's brothers have already been moved from California to China.
Today there are 44 giant pandas living in zoos outside of China, where the bears' only natural home is. As just 1,600 pandas are thought to be left in the wild, researchers insist that captive breeding is an important way to study and protect the endangered pandas. Not only because of the habitat loss from human activities and low reproductive rates(繁殖率), giant pandas' survival is also affected by climate change. A study showed that global warming could kill much of the bears' main food, bamboo, over the next century.
1.Why was the snow blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area?
A．To stop the bamboos from dying.
B．To give the pandas a chance to play.
C．To help the pandas live in their natural habitat.

2.What’s the relationship between Bai Yun and Xiao Liwu?
A．Wife and husband.
B．Father and daughter.
C．Sister and brother.
D．Mother and son.
3.What is NOT the factor that influences the giant pandas' number?
A．The loss of habitat.
B．Low reproductive rates.
C．Human research.
D．Climate change.
4.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Giant pandas in San Diego Zoo
B．Giant pandas in danger
C．Xiao Liwu’s happy time
D．How to protect giant pandas
5.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Captive breeding is the most useful way to protect giant pandas.
B．More than 44 giant pandas live in zoos outside of China now.
C．China is the only natural home of giant pandas.
D．Xiao Liwu was afraid of being thrown in the snow by mama.

CHINA has built a biscuit factory to make food for its captive (圈养的) giant pandas, giving them a healthier diet (日常食物) than the usual steamed bread.
The special biscuits, developed by the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Centre, are shaped like bamboo so they will not seem unfamiliar to the pandas.
"The cream-colored biscuit, made of bamboo, is rich in vitamins and has 30 per cent more fiber (纤维) than normal bamboo," said Yu Jianqiu, who is in charge of the project.
Steamed bread, which is eaten by most captive giant pandas as well as fresh bamboo, loses much of its goodness when cooked, often causing bad health. What's more, it can only be stored for a short time, making pandas expensive to feed.
Thirty pandas have tried the biscuits since the factory was completed in October.
"They love our new biscuits," Yu said. "In time, all captive pandas will be given the new food."
Around 1,000 giant pandas live in the foggy mountains around the Sichuan basin (盆地) in southwest China, while about 140 live in captivity around the world.
The destruction of forests, a panda's natural home and major food source, is the biggest threat to the animal.
In 1998, China banned the cutting down of trees in panda-inhabited areas to help save an animal seen as a national treasure.
1.Why are captive giant pandas given the special biscuits?
A.Because there is not enough fresh bamboo around.
B.Because they are healthier and easier to store.
C.Because the price of steamed bread is too high.
D.Because pandas like to change their food.
2.How does steamed bread cause panda's bad health?
A.The bad taste makes pandas tired of eating.
B.The bread is not fresh enough to keep pandas healthy.
C.Cooking makes it lose what is important to pandas' health.
D.The steamed bread goes bad easily enough to harm pandas.
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.There are fewer than 1000 pandas living in the world right now.
B.Most of the pandas in captivity are now living on the newly developed biscuits.
C.The pandas are now in great danger mainly because of trees being cut down in forests.
D.Pandas like to eat food which has enough vitamins and as much fiber as possible.
