Read the passage below and choose the best answer among A, B, C or D for each question :

Once there were lots of pandas in the mountains of Western China. Today they are becoming extinct. The reason is that they cannot find enough food. Pandas eat bamboo leaves. They do not like another food. The bamboo grows very slowly. It can take 10 years for a bamboo to grow from a seed to a big plant. Some types of bamboo have seeds only once every 60 years. Pandas must wait many years for their food to grow. While the bamboo is growing, pandas do not have enough leaves to eat.

Farmers are using more and more of the land on the mountain side to grow food for man. The farmers cut down the bamboo. Bamboo leaves become less plentiful. Pandas can not find enough food to eat. They starve and die.

China and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are trying to save the pandas. In 1979 they began to set up special parks where pandas live. Once such park is the Wolong Reserve in Sichuan. The Wolong Reserve has the highest number of pandas in the world. Scientists come here to study the panda’s eating and mating habits. By learning more about panda’s habits, scientists can save it from extinction.

FOODSCAPES

Carl Warner takes photos of interesting things. He also makes beautiful landscapes using food. These are called “foodscapes”. It takes Warner four or five days to make each foodscape. Look carefully at the photo with sea animals. What do you see? There’s an ocean with a lot of fish and rocks. There's seaweed, and there are sea animals. There's also sand. But what are the fish made from? The fish are made from fruit. There’s an island and some trees. The trees are made from pineapples. In fact it's all made from food - fruit and vegetables! What other foods do you see in the photo? Do you see apples and oranges? Now look at the photo with Warner. What foods do you see in that photo?
