The national treasure of China—PANDA

The giant panda is the national treasure of China. Chinese people love it, and people from many countries like it, too.

The giant panda looks like a bear. It has black and white fur. It lives in bamboo forests in China. Bamboo is the panda's favourite. Ninety-nine percent （百分比） of the pandas diet is bamboo. Pandas sit while they eat. They eat a lot of bamboo a day. An adult giant panda eats about 14 kilograms （公斤） of bamboo each day. Pandas look fat and clumsy. But they are good climbers. They can climb tall trees.

The giant panda has lived on earth for at least eight million （百万） years. The average life expectancy of a giant panda is 25 years, which is equivalent to 75 years in human life. With the effort of the Chinese Panda Conservation Programs （中国熊猫保育项目）, the number of the pandas is rising. Now, China is doing its best to help the giant pandas return （返回） to their natural home.

Once upon a time, there was a very old man named Yu Gong. There were two mountains,Taihang and Wangwu. near his house. They were so high and big that it took a long time to walk to the other side.

One day, Yu Gong called in his family and said, "Let's move （移动） the mountains away."

But his wife said, "Where would you put all the earth and stones from the mountains?"

Yu Gong's family said they could put them into Bohai. So they all started digging the next day. They worked hard day by day. But no one gave up（放弃）.

A man named Zhi Sou saw it. He told Yu Gong, "You are so silly. You can never do it. "You are very old, but the mountains are very huge. You can't move a corner of the mountains."

Yu Gong said, "My family can continue （继续） to move the mountains. After I die there will still be my children, my grandchildren. my great grandchildren. My family will live and grow. But the mountains can't get bigger." Zhi Sou had nothing to say.

The Jade Emperor heard the conversation. He said, "Yu Gong is such a strong man. He never gives up and he works hard to work out the problems. That's the spirit of Yu Gong." Then he asked two strong men to help.In a blink of an eve, the two mountains were removed.
