Chapter 2: Past Time

Worksheet 1. Reading: Giant Pandas

Read the passage about the pandas in the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Then

answer the questions.

Giant Pandas

Tian Tian and Mei Xiang are the National Zoo's

second pair of giant pandas. Both were born in

China, and they came to the National Zoo in

2000. That’s Tian Tian on the left, and Mei Xiang

on the right. It is hard to tell the adult giant

pandas apart, but they have a few differences :

Tian Tian, the male, was born in August, 1997. His name means "more and

more." Tian Tian has black " knee socks ." The black band across his shoulders

narrows in the middle. His eye patches have the shape of kidney beans , and

he has two black dots across the bridge of his nose. In spring 2007, he

weighed about 275 pounds.

Mei Xiang, the female, was born in July, 1998. Her name means "beautiful

fragrance ." She has black hip -high " stockings " extending up her hind legs,

and the black band across her shoulders is wider in the middle than Tian's. Her

eye patches are oval , and a pale black band runs across the bridge of her nose.

In spring 2007, she weighed about 230 pounds.

The first offspring of the two pandas was born early in the

morning on July 9, 2005. His name is Tai Shan, and it means

“peaceful mountain.” At his first physical examination by the

zoo veterinarians, he weighed 1.82 pounds and had a body

length of 12 inches. In late April 2007, he weighed 125 pounds.

This photo on the left is of little Tai Shan and his mother.
