Brent says that the baby panda was the "fourth panda ever to be born on American soil". Huan Huan II was not the first panda to be born in America, but the fourth, meaning that there were three others before him. Note that in this context the word "soil" refers to "land" or "territory" and not literally the "earth" or ground', as it does in another context. For example: Plant these flowers in the soil.
Moira says that the baby panda's mother was a "gift" from the Chinese government. The words "gift" and "present" are synonymous in this context (and many others).
Brent reports that "a baby panda was born yesterday at the National Zoo in Washington DC. The panda has been named Huan Huan II". If an animal is born in a zoo, it is said to be born "in captivity", or under human supervision. If the panda had been born naturally without human supervision, we would say that the panda had been born "in the wild". Did you know: Only 20 pandas have ever been born in captivity outside China!
Moira says that the panda was given to the states by "the Chinese government to celebrate the fall of the Soviet Empire". The mother came from China, not from the former Soviet Union. The panda was given to the States in recognition of the fall (or the collapse or end) of the Soviet empire.

1 ache: This is the right answer. An "ache" is a dull, continuous pain. It is usually used to describe pain felt in muscles, joints and bones, after strenuous exercise, for example. Note that we use "ache" to describe many different kinds of pain: headaches, stomach aches, etc.
2 stiff: The word "stiff" means rigid or difficult to bend. When one has a sore neck it is "tense", rigid or "stiff".
3 weed: A "weed" is a wild plant that grows where it isn't wanted. They often take over the ground around other plants and kill them. The act of removing these plants is called "weeding".
4 ground: The "ground" refers to the solid surface of earth. In this advertisement, the Supertrowel extends to reach the weeds "on the ground".
