Saving Panda

　　The relationship between people and pandas is very odd. We are so fond of them that when the Chinese government lent a pair to the San Diego Zoo for six months, the number of visitors increased sharply, and the zoo sold over half a million panda T-shirts. (1)

　　(2) They suggest that parenting instincts are aroused(激起)by the common features(面貌特征) of babies―the round faces and small jaws(下腭)of the pandas. Pandas, even in adulthood, show all of these interesting features.

　　Until recently, however, it seemed nearly certain that this much-loved animal was destined(注定)to die out. Even now the giant panda numbers fewer than l,000 in a decreasing wilderness(荒野) in one small area in China. (3)"It's easy to save the panda," says George Schaller, a world-famous panda expert. "All it needs is bamboo and peace."

　　Wildlife experts have suggested some basic steps to help. (4) The plan was submitted(呈交)to the Chinese government in August 1989. After more than a year of discussion and delay, the National People's Congress agreed to fund the plan.

　　Almost 100 pandas are kept in Chinese zoos and at zoos in other countries, but during the past three decades fewer than 100 baby pandas have been born in China. The majority of these have died young.

　　The most promising hope for the panda's future seems to be the increased efforts by the Chinese government. (5)
