World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has spent four yours in coming pandas in the work. It says there are 1,590 now. In the 1980s, there used to be only 1,100.So we may say that pandas are lucky because people around the world love them and are trying their best to help them. However, we also say that pandas are unlucky since they are still facing a lot of problems now.Pandas are not good at making babies. Even in the wild, scientists have found that female pandas give birth only every 28 months. Thats why the number of pandas goes up so slowly.Pandas need bamboos for food, but bamboo plants flower and die every 10 to 100 years. It can take up to 20 years to provide food for pandas. When bamboo dies, pandas have too move to other areas. In the past, this was easy. However, the number of people keeps growing, and more forests have been cut down and more villages have been built. Its more difficult for pandas to find bamboos and homes than before.In spite of the harsh situation, WWF has made great efforts to protect pandas. And some Chinese scientists are also always trying to find ways to help pandas.( ) 66. According to WWF, how many pandas are there now in the world? A. 1,100 B. 40 C. 1, 590 D. 1, 980( ) 67.

Some workers have developed new ways to make thousands of flowers prolong their florescence(花期). they are also studying ways of transplanting(移植) trees from forests into the city. Many students have joined “ environment clubs” to make less pollution. In an environment club, students work together to make our environment cleaner. Here are some things they usually do.Collect rubbish! Environment club asks students to collect rubbish that can be recycled. Every week they will sell the rubbish. With the money, theyll buy some young trees and plant them around their schools.No car day. On a No car day, nobody can come to school in a car, including students and teachers! Cars put pollution into the air, so youd better walk or ride a bike to school! It is not only good for your health, it also helps improve our environment!Save water!

A good youth should have these qualities: First of all, health , a healthy body is the best riches(财富). Without it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health ,youll have to take medicine day after day. Even you cant work, do sports and so on; Secondly, one must be of good quality. Always do something for others. Help those in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a wonderful world this would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation and communication（合作和交流）are two important keys to better human relations . Everyone needs friends because no one can live through life alone or do everything he wants to.Besides the examples above，patriotism is the one we should never forget. Patriotism means a love of ones country. It is one of the highest qualities of humans. Everyone should love his own country. But people sometimes think that patriots(爱国者)must be fighters or that they live in a time of fighting for their country. That is wrong. A good youths work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do.I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more. ( )76. Whats the first thing a good youth should have?A .The best looking B.
