任務(wù)型閱讀。

　　Color helps you see things．But man and some monkeys and apes(猿)are the only mammals(哺乳動(dòng)物)that can see color．To any other mammal, such as the dog ,the world looks like a black and white photo．Dogs hunt mainly by listening and smelling．

　　Like other animals, dogs see best when things move．The animals they hunt seem to know this．A rabbit or deer will freeze when they find that they are being hunted．Then the dog may not see it at all．

　　Birds can see color．They need to ,because they fly and need to find place to land．Color helps them know how far the place is and what it is like so that they are able to catch flying things in the air or land on something they think safe．

　　Some birds see things even better than man do．The birds that eat bugs(飛蟲(chóng))can see them from far away．And even a very young bird can see a house from high up in the sky．So good eyes and being able to see colors help birds find food and also help them find out if there are any animals that are dangerous to them．

　　The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in  the world. A giant
panda can grow up to 1. 5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg. People think the
giant panda is very lovely. ① So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund
for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people about
animals that they are in danger and raises money to save them.
　　The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, there
were only l,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is
that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
　　The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in  many ways. One of the
ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保護(hù)區(qū)).
Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to
make "corridors". These are paths that lead from one reserve co another. No one
may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one
habitat(棲息地) to another to look for food.② People are working very hard to
make sure the giant panda does not die out.
1. How long and heavy can a giant panda grow to be? 
                                                       
2．將文中劃線的句子①改為被動(dòng)句.
So it is not surprising that _____by the World Wide Fund for Nature.

任務(wù)型閱讀。
　    In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking
about a lovely animal: a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets
can give happiness to people's life. ① Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their
money to their pets when they die! 　　
       Animals can help people, too. ② People can teach dogs to become the "eyes" for a blind person or "ears"
for a deaf person. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for "visits." 　　
       Americans hold "Be kind to Animals Week" the fist week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even
if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If
you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to
keep your pet from those unwanted babies. 　　
       If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don't kick it or
throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad
things to an animal, try to stop them. ③ As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.
1. 根據(jù)①處完成下面的句子(每空一詞)。
    Some people ________ their pets ________ their children.
