1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

The giant panda is the national treasure of China. 1.People around the world love pandas.

The black and white animals have also played an important role in China’s diplomacy(外交). It is known as “panda diplomacy”.

In the 1950s, China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had already given 23 pandas to nine different countries. 2.然而，这些大熊猫中大多数均已经死亡。China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are lent to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.

But why is it hard for these cute “diplomats(外交官)” to live in other countries? 3.最重要的原因之一是他们的饮食习惯。 They feed on bamboo. Adult pandas need about 40 kilos of bamboo a day.

It takes 10 years for bamboo to grow, and 4.many countries do not have a good environment for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported (进口).

But other countries are still trying their best to keep this special kind of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas. 5.但全世界都想拯救大熊猫。 And we do that by sharing knowledge.” said Steven Montfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.

Then, the important thing is that you should try to be outgoing. If you are outgoing, you would become very popular. Remember, nobody wants to make friends with a shy person.

Nasreddin said nothing. He thought, “This is some foolish person who has no work to do and goes about telling other people what to do and what not to do.”

The man continued on his way. Of course, after a few minutes, the branch fell and Nasreddin fell with it.

23、There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”. It means that what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet (甜的) food makes a person overweight. To avoid (避免) being fat, kids are told to keep away from sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have found something new about eating sweet food. “When we say someone is ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly. Maybe this can help us learn more about a person’s character (性格),” said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find out if someone’s character has to do with their taste.”

In one of their experiments (实验), students were asked questions about their character - if, for example, they were warm-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In another experiment, the scientists found that people who liked sweet food such as candies and chocolate were more ready to help other people in need, and those who loved non-sweet food such as eggs and chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more prepared to volunteer (志愿) to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

【1】The underlined word “overweight”   (in Para.1) probably means ________.

A．sick

B．sweet

C．fat

D．nice

【2】Brian Meier’s team did the experiments to find out ________.

A．what people should do if they want to be nicer or more friendly

B．why so many people love sweet food like candies and chocolate

C．how important it is for kids to volunteer to help other people in need

D．if there is some relationship between one’s character and their taste

【3】The result of the experiments shows that ________.

A．a person with a taste for sweet food is more helpful

B．one’s character has nothing to do with their taste

C．it’s important for people to have a good eating habit

D．children should eat lots of sweet food to keep healthy

【4】How is the passage organized? (P＝Paragraph) ________

A．

B．

C．

D．
