China has formally made an announcement of its first five national parks of 230, 000 from Tibet to Hainan, focusing on     1     (preserve) of its most valuable bio-resources.

Giant Panda National Park will surely be     2     hit with the swells of tourists who come yearly for some of the world’s cutest animals.     3     (cover) three provinces (Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu), the region is the panda’s natural habitat.

The intersection (交汇处) of Jilin and Heilongiang provinces is home to Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, which     4     (set) out to protect the habitats of those two species since its start. It is the unique area       5     live both wild Siberian tigers and Siberian leopards.

China’s best-preserved rainforest is in Hainan, the only place in the world     6     (find) the Hainan black-crested gibbon(黑冠长臂猿). Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park protects the gibbons and     7     (they) environment.

Unlike those three, Wuyishan National Park in Fujian Province and Sanjiangyuan National Park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau focus     8     (much) on preserving multiple animals than     9     (specific) protecting one species. They serve various rare and endangered species and conserve biodiversity.

Now, with some tourist programs     10     place, these parks will be a good way for tourists to truly experience the natural originality as well as expansive Chinese landscape.

For Nigel Portman， a love of travelling began with what's called a "gap year"． In common with many other British teenagers， he chose    1    （take） a year out before settling down to study for his degree． After doing various    2     （job） to raise some money，   he left home to gain some experience of life in different cultures， visiting America and Asia． The more adventurous a young person， the    3    （great） challenge they are likely to set    4    （them） for the gap year， and for some， like Nigel， it can result in a thirst for adventure．

Now that his university course    5    （come） to an end， Nigel is just about to leave on a three﹣year trip that will take him right around the world． What's more， he plans to make the whole journey    6    （use） only means of transport which are powered by natural energy． In other words， he'll be relying    7    （main） on bicycles and his own legs； and when there's an ocean to cross， he won't be taking a shortcut（捷径）    8    flying aboard﹣he'll be joining the crew of a sailing ship， instead．

As well as doing some mountain climbing along    9    way， Nigel hopes to pass on to the people he meets the environmental message    10    lies behind the whole idea．

Chengdu has dozens of new millionaires, Asia’s biggest building, and fancy new hotels. But for tourists like me, pandas are its top     1    (attract).

So it was a great honour to be invited backstage at the not-for-profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research. I     2    (allow) to get up close to these cute animals at the 600-acre centre. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador. The title will be     3    (official) given to me at a ceremony in London. But my connection with pandas goes back     4     my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s,     5     I was the first Western TV reporter     6    (permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include     7    (introduce) British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research centre in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.

On my recent visit, I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected by     8    (it) mother. The nursery team switches him every few     9    (day) with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed,     10     other is with mum—she never suspects.
