Zhang finally managed to run away with some of his men and continued to travel west.

On January 28, 2026, two giant panda twins, Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei, returned to China safely after living in Japan for many years. Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei were born in Tokyo, Japan in June 2021. Their parents, Bi Li and Xian Nü, had returned to China in September 2024. As the last two giant pandas in Japan, Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei were deeply loved by Japanese people. When the zoo announced their return plan in December 2025, many visitors came to see them. The chance of getting a ticket was very low, which showed how popular the twins were. On their last day in the zoo, hundreds of fans waited outside early in the morning. Some carried panda-themed bags, and some held handwritten cards with “Safe trip home” on them. When the truck carrying the two pandas drove out of the zoo, people waved their hands and shouted their names loudly. Many even held back tears, saying “Thank you for bringing us so much joy these years”. To make sure the trip was safe, Chinese experts went to Japan early to work with Japanese keepers. They prepared custom-made boxes for the pandas, kept the temperature at 18℃-20℃ and took enough fresh bamboo with them. At the base, workers have got everything ready. They prepared fresh bamboo and bamboo shoots from Sichuan, and will check the twins’ health every day. “We will help them get used to life in China step by step.

Residents can rent a small piece of land in the garden to grow their own vegetables. This idea was created by a community committee in Pudong District to solve two problems: unused empty spaces and the need for green activities among city residents. Mrs Wang, a retired teacher, rents a 10-square-meter plot. “I come here every morning. It’s like my morning exercise. I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens. They taste much better than those from the supermarket,” she says happily. The cost is very low—only 100 yuan per year for a plot, including seeds, tools, and water. There are also volunteers who teach organic farming methods. The garden has become a popular place for both the elderly and young families. Children learn where food comes from, and neighbours get to know each other. However, some people complain about the smell of fertilizer(肥料) and insects problems. The committee has promised to use eco-friendly methods to control these problems. They are also planning to add more gardens in other districts. 根据短文内容回答问题, 每题答案不超过10个单词。 1.

It was one of the most important milestones(里程碑) of trade and culture in world history, and the pioneer, Zhang Qian, could not be easily forgotten by history. He was a great diplomat(外交官), traveller and explorer in the Han Dynasty of China. In 138 B. C. , Zhang Qian was sent to the west of China for an alliance with the Yuezhi people to fight against the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang’an. But unluckily, Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left Han, and was held prisoner(囚犯) for about ten years. Zhang finally managed to run away with some of his men and continued to travel west. When Zhang at last reached the Yuezhi, he was sad to find that they didn’t want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey, Zhang Qian and his men were caught again. It was not until 126 B. C. that they returned to Chang’an. Though Zhang hadn’t finished his task, he brought back first-hand information about Central Asia. The paths Zhang Qian explored later served as the highways connecting Europe, the Middle East, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, and East Asia. Commodities(商品) have been transported along this network of highways, which has been known as the “Silk Road” since the 19th century. Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a new era(时代) of cultural exchange between the East and the West. （　C　）1.
