During the past summer season, photos of snow leopards were taken by five different special cameras in Pingwu, Sichuan province, surprising many wildlife scientists. This shows that the living area of snow leopards in China’s southwestern mountains has become larger.

Pingwu, about 4,200 meters above the sea level, is famous for being home to a large number of wild pandas. The fourth national survey of pandas in 2015 found that there were 1,864 wild pandas in China, including 335 in Pingwu. As a result, over half of Pingwu’s land area has become part of the Panda National Park, which has a planned area of 22,000 square kilometers across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. It is among five national parks China named in October, 2021.

Through shutting down mines (煤矿), planting more trees and other measures, protection efforts in the park have not only made pandas less endangered, but also are offering safety and protection for other rare species (珍稀物种). About 87% of the Panda National Park lies in Sichuan. It’s the home of more than 8,000 species of animals and plants.

The province has used special cameras and forest protectors as a closely connected protection system. Thousands of forest protectors have been working year-round on more than 900 routes. Over the past four years, they have met rare animals for about 1,600 times. In Pingwu alone, more than 4,100 species of plants and 1,900 species of animals have benefited from the protection of pandas. For example, the number of takin, a rare animal, has increased by 10% over the past ten years. Meanwhile, the protection of pandas causes the development of human society, too.

We all know that rice, wheat and corn are staples, but do you know there is another kind of staple food—potatoes? Potatoes have many advantages. They are a good source of vitamin C and potassium(钾). A potato’s vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. What’s more,potatoes are low in calories(卡路里)-only three fourths of the same amount of wheat and corn, according to People’s Daily. Potatoes are easy to grow. It can be grown in both the north and the south during winter, spring and autumn. The plant is also able to bear drought(干旱). Some areas of China are facing water shortages, so the potato is safe to grow.

With these advantages, having potatoes as a staple food will make our menu more balanced. Now, many Chinese people treat potatoes more like vegetables, and eat them in the form of potatoes cooked with beef. But being a staple food, potatoes can be cooked differently. Scientists have succeeded in making potato flour(粉), noodles and other staple foods similar to those made of rice or wheat.

(1). Which staple is mentioned in the passage?

Milk.

Beans.

Fish.

Rice.
