When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over! 翻译：早上8：30，成都研究基地。熊猫饲养员们正在为熊猫宝宝们准备早餐喝的牛奶。九点钟的时候，他们发现大多数熊猫宝宝都已经醒了，并且饿了。当熊猫宝宝们看到饲养员时，它们兴奋地跑过去，一些小熊猫甚至还因撞上自己的伙伴而跌倒了！

Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down the forests. As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies. 翻译：科学家们说现在只有不到2000只熊猫生活在森林里。还有大约300只生活在我国和其他国家的动物园或研究中心。熊猫不能生很多宝宝，大概是每两年生一只。这些宝宝们经常死于疾病，活不了很久。成年熊猫每天要花12多个小时吃10公斤左右的竹子。很多年以前，中国有更多竹林和熊猫，但是后来人们开始砍伐森林了。随着森林越来越小，以及其他人类活动造成的问题越来越多，大熊猫找不到足够的食物，它们的后代也会越来越少。
