I
chose to study in Madrid
because I had a desire to learn Spanish. My first impressions of Madrid were incredible.
It was before the New Year that I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling
to my Spanish friend’s house in a taxi, I appreciated the buildings along the
road which were different from those of my own country.
There
are an incredible number of restaurants and bars from all over the world. If
you are really into sightseeing, I hope you have rechargeable batteries for
your digital camera, because one week really isn’t enough time to see
everything here including a number of art, science, and historical museums as
well as parks, buildings, and amazing landscapes.
What I liked best about life in Madrid was the fact that
if you were frustrated with schoolwork and wanted to have some fun, you can
easily go out. The nightlife never seems to stop and the people are all very
friendly. You can meet people and practice Spanish while having fun at the same
time.
What
I liked least was the fact that many people smoked in the streets. Also, coming
from the US,
I was used to having a big breakfast every morning, but while living with an
actual Spanish family, I wasn’t really satisfied with the food in the morning.
I
think I have definitely become more independent since I came back from Spain. Living
in a big city like Madrid I found that it is necessary to plan ahead and to
make a schedule (
时间表) for future. There is so much to see,
not just in the Spanish World, but in the European World as well.

BBC
News (May 11, 2008) -Edinburgh Zoo plans to bring a pair of giant pandas from China to Scotland. Representatives from
Edinburgh Zoo have recently returned from China. They signed a letter of
intent (
意向书) there, making a promise to bring
giant pandas to the Zoo.
It
has been suggested that the pair of giant pandas should be on loan (
暂借) to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) for 10 years.
The pair of giant pandas would give birth to babies during that time. Edinburgh
Zoo would be the eighth zoo in the Western world 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, "Working with giant pandas means so
much more to us than introducing a new species to our collection. It is an
opportunity to work on a global level with other conservationists to gain a
better understanding of the giant pandas, the threats they face, and what we
can do to ensure their survival."
At
present, there are only around 1,500 giant pandas in the wild. RZSS has been
working on the project for almost a year, hoping to have giant pandas at
Edinburgh Zoo by 2009, the year of the society’s centenary (
一百周年纪念日). Mr. Windmill said that the project has received strong support
from the UK
and Scottish Governments. He also said that this must continue if the Zoo is to
reach an agreement with the Chinese. As part of the agreement with the Chinese
Government, Edinburgh Zoo will work together with Chinese scientists on
research projects benefiting conservation in the wild.
RZSS
will also provide money to support giant panda conservation projects in the
wild. Giant pandas live in mountainous regions in central China and
almost mainly feed on bamboo, which makes up 99% of what they eat.
57. What do we know from the first two paragraphs?
A.
China will give a pair of giant pandas to Edinburgh Zoo.
B. Representatives
from Edinburgh Zoo have been to China.
C. The Scottish
Government has signed a letter of intent with China.
D. Edinburgh Zoo
is the first Western zoo to have giant pandas.
58. According to the text, RZSS may be ___________.
A.
a company that deals with international business
B. an
organization that researches endangered animals
C. a government
department in charge of Western issues
D. an activity
having something to do with animals
59. We can know from the text that _____________.

David Windmill is Edinburgh Zoo’s chief
B. the number of
giant pandas in the wild is still unknown
C. RZSS will
celebrate its centenary in 2009

supports giant panda conservation.

live happily in central China.
