So, why do we need it? It takes 365. 25 days for the Earth to go around the Sun once. We call this a solar year. However, our calendar year is only 365 days. That’s why we have leap years. They help make our calendar more accurate (准确的). The difference between the two numbers may seem small, but think of it over a long time. If we didn’t have leap years, in a few hundred years’ time, July would actually happen during the cold winter months. Leap years usually happen every four years, but sometimes there are special rules. When a year is a century year, like 1900 or 2000, if the year is divisible (可整除的) by 100 and not divisible by 400, then it is not a leap year. So, 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was.

When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over!

Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. An education program in Chengdu teaches children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas.
