But the bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are still losing their homes. The WWF warned that climate (气候) change could also destroy (毁掉) more than 35% of the animals’ homes, so there won’t enough places to live for them in the next years. The future for pandas in the long term is not yet clear. But one thing is for sure: we must do more efforts (努力) to protect our lovely pandas. 1．What are the great news? 2．How many pandas are living in the wild? 3．Did Chinese government do lots of things to protect pandas? 4．Is climate (气候) change good or bad for animals? 5．As a student, what can we do to protect animals in danger? 2.（23-24八年级上·吉林·期末） A man had two water pots.
