解析：
【解析】
37. 填including，此处用介词including表示“包括”，用来列举具体的熊猫名字。
38. 填happily，此处修饰动词lived，需用happy的副词形式happily。
39. 填giving，固定搭配stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”，故填give的动名词形式giving。
40. 填countries，other后接可数名词复数，country的复数形式为countries。
41. 填comfortably，此处修饰动词live，需用comfortable的副词形式comfortably。
42. 填healthy，此处修饰名词environment，需用health的形容词形式healthy。
43. 填to eat，此处用动词不定式to eat作后置定语，修饰food，表示“可供食用的食物”。
44. 填are living，根据时间状语now可知用现在进行时，主语Pandas Si Hai and Jing Jing是复数，故be动词用are，live的现在分词是living。
45. 填buys，主语the park是第三人称单数，一般现在时中谓语动词用第三人称单数形式buys。
46. 填better，此处表示“更好地和熊猫交流”，用well的比较级better，体现语境中的递进关系。
