    So the worker and his wife    8 to work hard and in twelve months' time they returned to the building man with $ 1, 000. But the man in the office said, "Look, I'm sorry, 9 we'll need $ 1, 500 now. 10 have gone up since we saw you last, you know."

  

    The couple thought 11 and decided it would 12 very long to save the extra $ 500 if they worked hard.

    "Well,"said the man. "I think we can sterilize (稳定)the 20   for about twelve months. By the time you come with $ 3,000, we will have had the house 21 for you."

    The couple left, sad at 22 as they saw their dream house 23. By the time they had saved the extra $ 1, 500, 24 the deposit would have become 25, maybe $ 5, 000, then $ 10,000 and then…!

     When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or   for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For   I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story   than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember   the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For   instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the   story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and   cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in   the speech of a 13 character.

           

   Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and   so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心)   about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of   English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of   stories or 18 is called the general reader.

           

   As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.   Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21   you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.   Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;   negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in   expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent   copying is a help to 25 by heart.

They are too weak to live without special care. In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers  15  the young pandas, but those living in the wild do not get enough  16  . It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas.

Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years. Pandas in China continue to  17  in number. We know pandas live on bamboos. But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die. The pandas there have  18  to eat and die of hunger.

Giant pandas now live in 13 separate  19  areas in China. Several years ago the Chinese government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed  20  a project of protecting giant pandas in the wild. We hope it could be helpful.
