28、t pandas can grow up to 1.5 metres long and weigh up to 160 kilograms, people dont think of them as big and heavy. They think of them as furry and cute. So it is not surprising that the world Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people about animals that are
29、in danger and raises money to save them. The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. It faces many threats and is endangered. In the early 1980s, there were only about 1,000 left in the wild. A more recent count showed that there are about 1,600. This is still a small number. The main reason wh
30、y pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller. What are people doing to help save the giant panda? WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways it helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves. Reserves are places in the wild whe
31、re pandas can live safely. Some reserves need to be joined together again by planting bamboo between them to make corridors. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. Like the reserves, these corridors are also protected areas. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. No factories or
32、towns may be built in them. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat(栖息地 ) to another to look for food. Pandas also move around to find a mate and start a family. People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out!48. The WWF chose the giant panda as its symbol because
33、they think its _. A. big and heavy B. furry and cute C. most popular D. in danger 49. From the second paragraph we know that _. A. the number of the panda hasnt changed B. the panda lives in many countries C. the panda is still in danger D. the panda has more habitats 50. The underlined word “reserv

A. people to visit B. bamboo to live in C. factories or towns to be built in D. pandas to go throu
35、gh and aroundDA few months ago I was visiting a friend of mine who teaches high school English. We were in his classroom and he showed me his grade book. I noticed that in some of his classes, most of the students were missing most of their schoolwork. I asked him about this.“Theres really not much
36、I can do about it. I give schoolwork, collect it, grade it and post the scores on-line. Some kids just dont hand in their work. Other than giving them an F, theres not much else I can do, since some kids simply couldnt care less about their grades.” I explained how things work in my classroom. I giv
37、e work and then collect it. If a student doesnt have it, they do it during recess (休息时间) period. No questions, no complaining, no discussion. Their names go up on the whiteboard and they come back to the room after lunch to get it done. Im in the room anyway, taking care of paperwork, and I dont min
38、d the students staying with me.And if someone misbehaves or wastes time during the day, I put a mark next to their name on my clipboard. Each mark means one minute of lost recess during our second recess, which we have toward the end of the day. I use first recess to take care of missing schoolwork
39、and I use second recess to take care of misbehavior. And it works beautifully. I have the best-behaved class in the school with almost no missing schoolwork.But then I came across this article in USA Today. Basically, many pediatricians (儿科医生) want us to leave recess sacred: dont make kids do school
40、work when they should be out playing and dont use recess as a form of punishment. In other words, dont do what I do.I can see their point. Recess is an important time for kids to blow off steam, get some exercise, talk to friends, and just “be kids.” For most children, its their favorite time of the
41、 day. It certainly was for me, when I was young.But pediatricians arent teachers. They deal with one kid at a time, for ten or fifteen minutes, with their parents in the room. Theyre not trying to make 25 to 30 kids work quietly at something most of them would rather not do for seven hours a day. At
42、 a certain level, teachers need some power to do what they want. For those of us at the elementary level, recess gives us that. 52.

43、the schoolwork is too difficultD. their teachers are too busy to grade their papers53. What does the underlined word “sacred” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. lost B. popular C. unknown D. unchanged54.
