阅读理解Le Le and Ya Ya have arrived at the Memphis Zoo this week. The number of
giant pandas in the United States has increased to nine. They spread across four
zoos. It’s not easy getting them here.
In order to bring a pair of pandas into the United States, each zoo has to
get a permit(许可证), because the panda is the type of animal that may soon
disappear from the world.
“Pandas are difficult to study in the wild. They live in mountains. They are
shy, so it’s rare that you would actually see one.”
What the western scientists know about pandas today mostly comes from studies
of Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Zoo.
Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing were the first two pandas in the U.S. zoo. They
were given as a gift to the United States in 1972 by the Chinese government.
The nine pandas now in the U.S. belong to the Chinese government, and are in
the American zoos for 10 to 12 years. A baby panda which was born at the San
Diego zoo three years ago also belongs to China.
Studies on pandas can improve their conditions. They provide knowledge that
helps save the wild population.

阅读理解Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically,what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matterany thought.Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to lifein the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through theeyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this bookletdescribe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values canhelp you, the international visitor, understand Americans.It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95%of American actions — actions which might otherwise appear “strange,”“confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective of theforeigners own society and its values.The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seenthrough the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. Whenyou encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States whichsurprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the valueslisted in this booklet.1. Can an ordinary American tell you his her value system?A. Yes, because this is something an American lives by.B. Yes, because values are something always in their mind.C. No, because no one cares about his her value system.D. No, because he she has never really thought about it.2.
