3. Xi Wang的故事我第一次见到熊猫宝宝是在她出生十天的时候。

我们叫它Xi Wang。

意思是“希望”。

当Xi Wang 出生时，她只有100克重。

看起来像一只白鼠。

在四个月大的时候，她重约八公斤，开始了她的首次外出。

又过了八个月她不再是一个小宝宝了，超过了35公斤重。

一开始，希望吃母乳。

当她六个月大的时候，她开始吃竹子。

当她20个月大的时候，她学会了独立生活。

不幸地是，世界上的大熊猫正面临着巨大的问题。

比如，对于大熊猫来说怀上宝宝很困难，而且许多熊猫宝宝在他们很小的时候就死了。

而且，大熊猫主要依靠一种特殊竹子的为生。

然而，这种竹林越来越少。

事实上，熊猫可能没有地方生存或者没有食物吃。

大熊猫处在险境中。

我们应该立即采取一些措施。

这儿有一些主意。

·帮助熊猫有更多的宝宝·建立更多的熊猫自然保护区·立法保护熊猫在野外大约只有1600只熊猫。

The Most Frightening ExperiencePeople sometimes ask me, “Peter, w hat’s the most frightening experience you’ve ever had?” Well, it happened when I was 12. It was also the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had.My mother, my sister and I left Heathrow Airport to go on holiday to Cyprus(塞浦路斯).My dad came to the airport to say goodbye. Unfortunately, he was working and could not come with us. We got on the plane. The take-off was fine. Later the air stewards(空乘人员) served us our meals.I was busy eating when the plane rocked. My plate went flying. Most of the other passengers’ plates fell too. I remember thinking that there must be food everywhere.All of the lights in the plane went off. The seatbelt signs come on. The plane kept on bumping. I was scared that there might be a serious problem. I wished that my father was with us. Then we heard the captain of the plane. He said, “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We are going through a storm. Please stay in your seats.”My mother held my hand and kissed my forehead and said she loved me. Tears came down my cheeks. I didn't care those computer games or parties at all. At that time I realized my mom and dad and my little sister were the most important in the world.It seemed like hours before we were allowed to move again and clear up. I did not feel well after all that bumping around. Luckily the plane was alright and we landed safely. We later found out that we had passed through one of the most violent storms ever over the Mediterranean Sea(地中海)! 1. Is everything OK before the meal? And how did Peter feel about the trip then?2. What happened to the plane?3. If you were on the plane, how would you feel?4. Did the experience bring Peter's family closer?5. Guess what Peter would do when they went back home.。
