Welcome to your GIANT PANDAS
According to Paragraph (2), why do the Chinese zookeepers want Mei Lan to learn Chinese?
1) An American-born giant panda will soon be traveling to China. The Chinese
government has an agreement with foreign zoos to lend giant pandas out only for
scientific study. After a few years, they, and any cubs they may produce, must all
be returned to China. Mei Lan, a three-year-old female, is being prepared for her
trip to China, where her parents were born. A special FedEx flight from the U.S. is
being arranged for her.
2) Chinese zookeepers are getting ready for her arrival by planning a special diet,
and even language lessons for her. They are advertising for a tutor to teach Mei
Lan Chinese. The caretakers at her new home, the Chengdu Panda Research
Center in Sichuan, want to help her adapt quickly and feel comfortable in her new
environment. Mei Lan has lived at a zoo in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, since her
birth, and she is unfamiliar with Chinese. The teacher must have a bachelor's
degree or higher and be fluent in both English and Chinese
According to Paragraph (2), where has Mei Lan been living?
