Tao Tao,a two-year-old panda,finished all the training.On October 11,2012,he was sent to Liziping Nature Reserve in Sichuan and began his real wild life.Zhang's team used GPS to supervise him,so they could know where he went,what he ate and what dangers he faced.Luckily, Tao Tao got used to wild life quickly.He could find food,build safe hiding places and deal with natural dangers.Up to now,Tao Tao has still kept the record:He lives longer than any other captive-bred pandas in the wild.This result shows the training plan works perfectly. Thanks to Zhang's work,11 captive-bred pandas have returned to their natural home.His hard work successfully protects pandas and provides valuable experience for protecting wild animals around the world as well. 八年级英语期末教学质量评价卷第4页（共8页） 27.What is the new book about?
