Edinburgh Zoo makes plans to bring a pair of giant pandas from China to Scotland. Representa-tives from Edinburgh Zoo have recently returned from China,where they signed a litter of intent(意向书)making a promise to bring giant pandas to the zoo.
It has been suggested that the breeding pair should be rented to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland(RZSS)for10years and it is hoped they would give birth to babies during that time. Edin-burgh Zoo would be the eighth zoo in the West to care for the species if the project goes ahead.
Zoo chiefs said that looking after the endangered animals could benefit conservation. David Windmill，chief of RZSS，said，"It is an opportunity to work on a global level with other conserva-
tionists to gain a better understanding of the giant panda，the threats they face，and what we can do to ensure their survival."
At present，there are currently only around 1，500 giant pandas in the wild. RZSS has been working on the project for almost a year，and hopes to have giant pandas at Edinburgh Zoo by 2011,the year of the society`s centenary.
Mr. Windmill said that the project has received strong support from the UK and Seottish Gov-ernments and that this must continue if the zoo is to reach an agreement with the Chinese.As part of the proposed agreement with the Chinese government，Edinburgh Zoo will cooperate on research projects benefiting conservation in the wild.
RZSS will also provide considerable money to support giant panda conservation projects in the wild.Giant pandas live in a few mountain ranges in central China and feel almost wholly on bamboo，which makes up 99% of the their diet.
61.What result did zoo representatives get from China？
A.A breeding pair is on loan to RZSS for ten years.
B.China promised to sell two giant pandas before 2011.
C.They signed a letter of intent about giant pandas to be loaned to Edinburgh Zoo.
D.China promised to offer the money but not the experts for research into giant pandas.
62.If Edinburgh Zoo can borrow giant pandas，what will happen？
A.RZSS will celebrate its centenary in 2011.
B.Scotland will be the eighth country to have giant pandas.
C.RZSS will have a better understanding of living habits of giant pandas.
