生：The keepers take care of the baby pandas like their own babies.
师：Wow, you're so smart at finding out the information. Yeah, exactly. Keepers take care of pandas like their own babies. Do you think so? Then, guys, you know, we are learning something about pandas, right? But why are panda keepers mentioned at the beginning? Why do you think so?
