China and the US have signed a new agreement on extending the stay of two giant pandas in Washington. The agreement is welcome news for American fans of China's furry ambassadors.
The giant pandas, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, will remain at the National Zoo in Washington DC for five more years. First arriving at the zoo in December of 2000, the pair produced a cub named Taishan five years later. Americans have fallen in love with Taishan and his return to China was postponed twice. He finally arrived on Chinese soil in February of 2010. Experts say the agreement covering Mei Xiang and Tian Tian also includes a joint study to see if the pair can breed again.
Dennis Kelly, Director of Smithsonian National Zoo said "Pandas continue to be a symbol of cooperation for both America and China, a symbol of friendship between the people, most importantly a symbol of conservation. Saving the giant panda is a great success story of China. It's a great example of how two peoples can work together."

一、背景介绍英语口语能力的提高是一个长期而艰苦的过程，不仅需要学习，更需要练习。和听力与阅读不同，口语和写作都需要输出。但是如果只是不断地做输出练习，对于口语的提升也是有限的。因为，没有了输入的支撑，那么，反复的输出最终导致的结果就是很熟练的给出一些不地道甚至错误的表达，也就是将错误强化了。因此，口语水平从根本上的提升还需要大量的阅读和听力作为...
