Doctors saved a giant panda from Beijing Zoo by a transfusion of blood(输血) from two black bears.
Yong Liang, two years old, is the first giant panda raised from birth in the zoo. Last month zoo keepers found the panda caught serious anemia (贫血症). He was badly in need of a blood transfusion.
The best way to save Yong Liang from anemia was to transfuse blood from another panda. But it was the breeding (繁殖) season for giant pandas, making a transfusion very difficult.
However, the zoo found that there is a close consanguinity (血缘) between giant pandas and black bears, so they decided to try to take blood from black bears in the zoo and transfuse it to Yong Liang.
With the help of hospitals and the Beijing Blood Donor Station, they made an experiment to see if the red blood cell (细胞) in the blood of black bears was safe for a panda. Luckily, it was quite safe.
On the afternoon of February 15th, doctors gave the first transfusion of 600ml of black bear blood to the giant panda. At once the young panda started to get better.

I think going to school by bike is good for us.
First of all, riding to school is a wonderful way to exercise and it’s good for our health. Next, it’s fun to ride together with friends every day. What’s more, if we ride bikes, our parents won’t have to drive us to school. There will be fewer cars on the roads. Less driving helps to make our city cleaner. I hope more and more students will go to school by bike. But we must be careful while riding. Safety always comes first.。
