Cui Cui was in low spirits. Her head was bowed. Even the cheerful crowd outside her enclosure (圈舍) couldn’t make the 2-year-old panda happy.
      Cui Cui was not alone. The eight pandas from Wolong in Sichuan all looked unhappy. A very big earthquake had destroyed their home. They arrived in Beijing on May 24. The eight pandas were chosen in an online poll (投票) from 16 Wolong pandas born in 2006 to meet visitors to the Beijing Olympics. They will stay in the capital’s zoo until November.
      “All the Wolong pandas were scared by the earthquake,” said a keeper who came along with the animals. “When the earthquake happened, the sky turned dark. Some pandas climbed up trees. This was a way to protect themselves,” he said, “even after the earthquake, some did not want to come down. Many of them lost their appetites (胃口) and six pandas ran away from their home. One is still missing.”
       “The earthquake ruined their lives. This is why the pandas are sad,” said the keeper.
      However, in Beijing, the mood of the pandas improved when they saw their favourite fresh bamboo leaves.

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain(鄙视).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended(假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
