　　[2016·遵义市联考]The oldest giant panda living in cage is set to challenge the world record for the animals' long life, with her age said to be the same as a human being at least 100 years old.

　　Hong Kong's giant panda Jiajia, whose name means “good”， will turn 37 this summer at the theme park Ocean Park， matching the Guinness World Records title for the oldest panda survivor in cage—Du Du, who died in 1999, aged 37.“It is rare for pandas to live to this age，” said Grant Abel, the park's director of animal care.

　　Born in the Chinese mainland in 1978, Jiajia was gifted to Hong Kong in 1999, along with another panda, to mark the second anniversary of the city's handover from former colonial ruler Britain. She weighs 80 kg and is considered to be in remarkably good health for her age, even though her eyesight is severely impaired and her hearing has grown worse, says Paolo Martelli, the park's chief vet Jiajia takes medicines for high blood pressure and arthritis. She walks slowly and avoids the exhibition area of her fence, preferring to stay at the back and feast on several kilograms of bamboo shoots and leaves, besides fruit and high­fibre bread.

　　“The first thing I thought when I saw Jiajia was, Oh my God, she's so old; I'm going to be the one to bury her，” Martelli said.

　　“But actually it's been 10 years now. And she's had a few ups and downs， but she always manages to recover and look surprisingly good for years after that，” he said, adding that it was hard to predict her remaining lifetime.
