Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home”, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American” is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.

In recent years, the black bear population in the US has risen. Forests once cleared for farming have started to grow back and black bears have returned to them. But the bears are finding that their forest habitat has changed. Instead of thick forests covering thousands of acres, bears now have neighbors nearby. Roads, homes, schools, and shopping centers have been built at the edge of their forest home. And with humans and bears trying to share the same space, problems arise.

Black bears usually prefer to avoid people, but their nose may lead them into trouble. Their normal diet includes nuts, insects, and plants. But given the opportunity, they will gladly help themselves to whatever they can find.

With the great sense of smell, the bears can sniff out a tasty treat 2 or 3 miles away. Food left out in a park or backyard is an invitation to dinner. And while raiding (劫掠) a cooler, bird feeder (喂鸟器), trash can, car, or even a home, they can do a lot of damage. When that happens, people get angry. If another solution doesn’t immediately appear, they often want the bears killed.

Bear Aware, Bear Wise, and Bear Smart are trying to keep that from happening. They want people to respect bears, not fear them, and are suggesting ways to reduce the chances of bears stopping by for a snack. They’re convincing (使相信) people that by following some simple steps, it’s possible to live peacefully with our wild neighbors.

1.More black bears have appeared in the US because__________.

A．farmers have grown more food

B．forests have increased in the US

C．people stopped killing black bears

D．roads were built nearer to the forests

2.We learn from the text that black bears _________.

A．hate insects in forests B．eat different foods

C．usually live in big groups D．like to share space with humans

3.The underlined words “sniff out” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．to express a low opinion B．to find something by chance

C．to refuse something in a proud way D．to discover something by its smell

How good are U.S. drivers?

The CBS TV “National Drivers Test” showed that many U.S. drivers have a lot to learn. Here’s why:

CBS picked 1,799 samples(被实验者) to take the test in TV studios in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. More than two out of five of the drivers failed the test. And the average score was the lowest passing mark－51 points out of a possible 80.

Chicago drivers did best with an average of 53 points. Los Angeles drivers came next with 52 points. New York and Philadephia drivers tied(得同样的分数) with 50 points－a failing score. Drivers with 50 points or less were rated(被评价为) “poorly informed” by the judges.

Here are some of the test results:

(1) Are men better informed drivers than women?－Yes. Men averaged 52 points. Women got average of 49.

(2) Are older drivers better informed than younger drivers?－No. Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points. Drivers from 27 to 45 averaged 51. Driver over 45 failed with 48 points on average.

(3) Does education make a difference?－Yes. College graduates averaged 52 points. High school graduates averaged 50. Those without high school diplomas(文凭) got 48. And people who had taken driver education courses scored an average of 53 points－three more than those who hadn’t.

(4) Does driving experience make a difference?－Yes. Drivers with three or more years’ experience averaged 51 points. Drivers with less experience averaged 49.

Here are some surprising facts brought out by the test:

(1)More than one out of three drivers did not know that a blinking(闪烁) red light means a full stop. (2)Three out of ten drivers did not know that an octagonal (eight-sided) sign means stop.

(3)More than two of three drivers did not know what to do when being “tailgated”(危险地，紧接另一辆驶) The answer: slow down, drive to the right, and let the driver behind pass.

The results of the test were turned over to the National Safety Council. They will help future safety planning.
