BROOKSVILLE — It’s the time of year again, when young bears are on their own for the first time. And that means more sightings where bears usually aren’t supposed to be.

This weekend, a 258-pound black bear took a brief tour of Brooksville, with police and firefighters chasing.

Another black bear, weighing just 100 pounds, was spotted Saturday, crossing busy U. S. 19 near a retirement community in Spring Hill. Several other bear reports have come from Citrus County.

"It is really difficult for the younger bears to find their own land around here, " said Niki Everitt, bear hot line director for the Gulf Coast Conservancy.

Brooksville’s bear first was spotted late Thursday crossing State Road 50, headed toward Tom Varn Park. Police and firefighters tracked the bear through the park and the Brooksville Quarry golf course.

The bear then wounded down the middle of Broad Street before being surrounded near Luigi’s Pizza. An official with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission came with a tranquilizer spear(加入鎮(zhèn)靜劑的矛).planning to stick the bear by hand. "The guy saw the size of the bear and figured that wasn’t a great idea, "said Capt. Frank Phillips of the Brooksville Fire Department.

Emergency officials waited until a tranquilizer gun was brought from Land O’ Lakes. The bear then got a free ride to the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area.

It is not unusual for bears to move into living areas this time of year, experts say. Mothers give their male baby bears the boot once the youngsters are 2 years old. With living areas growing, the young bears keep finding smaller and smaller areas in which they can set up their own land.

"They’ re trying to find a land of their own, where they won ‘t get beat up, " said Lt. Rip Stalvey, a game commission spokesman.

Everitt said people should not be too concerned about the recent bear sightings, since" we have never had a bear attack in Florida."

Black bears mainly eat the tender and fresh leaves of Sabal palms, as well as acorns and berries. Recent weeks of dry weather likely have reduced their food supply.

"If we don’t get some relief soon," Everitt said," we’re probably going to see a lot more of it."

1. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Bear sightings in living areas worry people.

B. Policemen try hard to get the bears controlled.

C. People take up too much land from bears.

D. ears come out to disturb people’s lives.

2. Which is true according to the passage?

A. The 100-pound bear was caught near Luigi’s Pizza.

B The Gulf Coast Conservancy makes bears homeless.

C. Brooksville’s bear was too large to be caught by hand.

D. Bears frequently visit humans’ living areas.

3. Bear sightings can usually be expected ______.

A. in the cold season                    B. in the warm season

C. near lakes or rivers                   D. near Luigi’s Pizza

4. The underlined phrase "give their male baby bears the boot" means______.

A. make them wear the boots             B. find new homes for them

C. drive them away from home            D. keep them in safe places

A long road leads through the woods to Don Robinson’s unfinished house. Wearing dirty sneakers and a shirt with holes, Don Robinson is an 81-year-old Missouri businessman. Although he’s rich, he didn’t use his money to buy himself a grand home. Instead, he used it to buy wild land.

Robinson has decided to donate 843 acres of his own personal wilderness to the Department of Natural Resources after his death, which can then be used to create a new state park. His generous donation is the same size as New York City’s Central Park. It is said that it’s the largest land donation to happen in the last 25 years.

How did he come up with this idea? For Robinson, the idea of donation came from his respect for the land and the environment. He doesn’t have children to pass it onto. He hoped that someone would make full use of it, or the land would probably turn into wasteland. A green park filled with trees can at least help deal with global warming, in addition to producing fresh air.

Robinson has lived here in a small wooden house since 1964．One room holds his bed, a few chairs and a desk. He said he didn’t care how much his donation was worth. Tom Pounders who used to work for Robinson said, "He doesn’t think material objects are important.” He also recalled that Robinson once repaired a broken tennis shoe with a spare tire.

Robinson has just one request for the new park that will be established after his death. He’d like it to be named the Don Robinson State Park. "There’s a lot of Robinsons, but only one me. It would be nice if people remembered to use my full name when walking through the park," he said.

In paragraph 2, the underlined word “wilderness” refers to _______.

       A．wild animals           B．wild land         C．wild plants       D．wild wounds

Don Robinson has decided to donate _____ to the Department of Natural Resources after his death.

       A．a(chǎn) green park            B．a(chǎn) big wooden house

       C．843 acres of land            D．a(chǎn)ll his money

According to the passage, which of the following statements about is TRUE?

       A．Don Robinson paid much attention to how much his donation was worth.

       B．New York City’s Central Park was built with Don Robinson’s help.

       C．Don Robinson had many children and lived with them.

       D．The idea of donation came from Robinson’s respect for the land and the environment.

Which of the following words can be used to describe Don Robinson?

       A．rich, generous and simple       B．rich, mean and lonely k+s-5#u 

       C．simple, lonely and cruel  D．rich, simple and mean
