An An, the world’s oldest captive(被圈养的)male panda, died on July 21 at age 35. The panda’s life was ended by an animal doctor due to his poor health condition, Hong Kong’s Occan Park said online. “He was clever and lovely and we would miss him, ” the park’s chairman Paulo Pong said.
An An was gifted to the park in 1999 by the Chinese central government, along with Jia Jia, a female panda that died in 2016 at age 38. The pair were seen by millions of tourists and schoolchildren over the years, many of whom posted their memories of An An online in photos and videos after its death.
On average(平均来看), a panda in the wild can live for 14-20 years, but they can live far longer with humans’ care, according to World Wild Fund for Nature(WWF). Pong said that An An lived longer than most wild pandas, which shows that the park has done a good job taking care of the pandas. The park still houses two other pandas--female Ying Ying and male Le Le-- which were gifted by the Chinese government in 2007.
China has spent half a century trying to increase the population of this rare(珍稀的) animal. It has built many protected areas to save them from disappearing. It's well known that pandas are hard to raise, but after years of decline(下降), their numbers in the wild have increased in recent years. In 2017 the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) removed the animal from the list of endangered animals after their population grew nearly 17% in the past 10 years. The Chinese government also did so last year after the wild panda population increased to 1, 800.
In China, pandas are considered an umbrella species, which means experts believe methods to protect them will help protect other species, as well as the larger ecosystem(生 态系统).
61. Why did the animal doctor end An An’s life?
A. To save him from further suffering.
B. To help reduce the park’s pressure.
C. To protect other pandas from disease.
D. To find the causes of this death problems.
62. How old was Jia Jia when she was gifted to the park?
A. 12 years old. B. 15 years old. C. 18 years old. D. 21 year old.
63. According to Pong, what does the fact that An An lived to age 35 suggest?
A. Raising An An in the park wasn’t easy.
B. The park raised An An with great care.
C. An An brought many good memories to him.
D. Ying Ying and Le Le will live as long as An An.
64. We can learn from the fourth paragraph that
A. pandas are still endangered animals
B. pandas are easy to keep with human’s care
C. the number of wild pandas is rising in recent years
D. TUCN is working with China to protect wild pandas
65. The writer’s writing purpose is to
A. ask people to protect wild pandas B. tell the story of An An and Jia Jia
C. explain why An An died at age 35 D. share the news of An An’s death

Having worked in a nature reserve (保护区) for 30 years, Hou Tiguo has developed a special ability—he can tell what kind of birds are around simply by their saying. “I can also tell whether they are happy or unhappy,” he added with a big smile.
    The 52-year-old’s home, Baihualing, a village in Yunnan province, is well-known for different kinds of birds. He recalled, “In the 1970s, people were so poor. Birds were often targeted as food, so almost all the children including me in the village were good at using slingshots (弹弓).”

    Inspired by that, the villagers built a reserve to feed birds and protect the living places of birds. In the following ten years, more bird-watchers visited the village. The village became a popular choice for bird lovers, and most villagers have turned into bird protectors and took part in serving bird-loving tourists.
    In the village, there are more than 60 “bird guides” like Hou. More than 20 guesthouses which have hosted visitors from more than 100 countries bring in a total income of 1. 5 million yuan every year. “During the peak season, I serve nearly 100 tourists a day. Thanks to the birds, our life is not what it used to be any more.” Hou said, adding that he takes his 3-year-old grandson with him every day to feed birds and teaches him to love and respect them.

A Chinese song could be heard in a classroom in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen (也门), where around 20 Chinese-learning schoolchildren were singing.
“I love to learn the Chinese language because it is very nice, important and I want to travel to China to complete my studies there,” Karim al-Areqi, a student of the private Languages Model School in Sanaa said.
Teacher Mohammed al-Ansi, who learnt the language in China and received a university degree, stressed the importance of learning the Chinese language. “It is the language of the future and it is necessary for all people to get advantages from the great development in China,” he said.
Like many other private elementary and secondary schools in Yemen, the Chinese language is a basic part of the Languages Model School’s courses, where the students study Chinese as actively as math and science subjects. “In teaching the Chinese language, I succeeded in educating students in a simple way that fits everyone,” al-Ansi said proudly, stressing that teaching Chinese has changed his life without doubt.
Al-Ansi expects that Yemen and China will work together to set up centers and schools for teaching the Chinese language in Yemen so that many young Yemenis can learn. “I hope that a branch of the Confucius Institute (孔子学院) could be built in Yemen to teach the language and spread the Chinese culture and language,” he said.
Many Yemenis see that learning a foreign language may open a way of hope to a new life, such as getting a job, making more money and paving the way to a bright future in the country that has experienced war for almost five years.
