Born in the Chengdu Panda Breeding Base, the two, named Jiu Jiu and Hua Hua, will .spend the next 10 years in the United States. At a cost of $ 4 million, their new home is an exact copy of the natural environment where they lived in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in Southwest China. The panda house is also equipped with advanced facilities to study pandas in an all-around way, said the report. Visitors can view pandas in a separate room inside the
panda house, which is open to public every day.
As part of an international co operative plan to protect and study panda, the co-operation between Chengdu and Atlanta has finally come to an agreement after three years of discussion. And the research fund of $ 5 million raised by Atlanta's zoo has also contributed to the co-operation.
After a flight in a huge and comfortable case, Jiu Jiu and Hua Hua will be put under quarantine(隔离) for two weeks upon their arrival. And a welcome ceremony will be held for them in Atlanta on November 20, with ambassador(大使) Li, former U. S. President Carter and his wife, the Georgia governor and mayor of Atlanta.
Where is the two panda's original home？
A．Some mountains in Siehuan Province.
B．A certain base in the city of Chengdu.
C．The Atlantic Zoo in the United States.
D．A separate room inside the panda house.
The Grand Prairie Area Demonstration Project seemed, at first, a fine idea. The Grand Prairie is the fourth-largest rice-bowl in the world, with 363,000 acres under paddies. But it is running out of water, with farmers driving wells deeper and deeper into the underlying aquifer. The new project, dreamed up around a decade ago, would tap excess water from the White river when it floods and pumps it, at the rate of about one billion gallons a day, to storage tanks on around 1000 rice farms.
Unfortunately, it would also divert water from the region's huge, swampy wildlife refuges, home to black bears and alligators and the pallid sturgeon. Tiny swamp towns like Clarendon and Brinkley, which are heavily black and almost destitute, rely on nature tourism for the little economic activity they have. In Brinkley, the barber offers an "ivorybill" haircut that makes you look like one.
The project has some powerful local backers. They include Blanche Lincoln, the state's senior senator, who grew up on a rice farm in Helena, and Dale Bumpers, a former four-term senator and governor of Arkansas. Mr. Bumpers, long an icon of the environmental movement and prominent in the efforts to establish the refuges, now believes the water project is important for national security in food and trade, and that it will not damage the forests he has worked to protect.
Opponents worry that the project, apart from its environmental risks, will overwhelm the innovative water conservation methods that rice-farmers are already using, and give the biggest water users an unfair advantage. They also object that it means using subsidised pumps to provide subsidised water for a crop that doesn't pay. Rice is one of the most heavily assisted crops in America; rice payments cost taxpayers almost $10 billion between 1995 and 2004, and rich farmers round Stuttgart in Arkansas County (an efficient and politically shrewd group) took in $21.2m in subsidies in 2004 alone.
