READING TESTS FOR A2


For each question, choose the correct answer.

BUDDY, THE RED PANDA


Buddy and his brother, Rusty, are red pandas. They were born on 15 June 2013 and have lived in their own cage at
London Nature Centre since 2015. Wild red pandas live in India, China and other Asian countries, but experts think
that there are only about 2,500 still living in the wild.
Luckily, a lot of zoos and wildlife parks around the world are trying to protect the red panda. They have to eat special
food called ‘bamboo’ which is difficult to buy, so there are over 50 bamboo plants growing at the Nature Centre for
the pandas.
Just a few months after the pandas arrived at the Nature Centre, a terrible thing happened – Buddy got out of the
Nature Centre. He was very clever though because he stayed close to home, and away from the traffic on the city’s
crowded roads. It took four days for the workers of the Nature Centre to find him!
One of the people who worked at the Nature Centre and who went to look for Buddy was Trudy Andrews. Trudy’s
father, Mr Andrews, told her that birds don’t like being too close to animals like red pandas and they’ll make a lot of
noise to keep the panda away. He told her to look for Buddy up in the trees. Trudy heard some birds and looked up
and saw Buddy there, just like her father explained.
Everyone was very happy when Buddy arrived back safely, especially Rusty! He happily shared some bamboo with
his brother, who looked tired and was very hungry.
