Imagine this situation: You go out to your backyard, and you see a bear smelling your rubbish bin. Or you go into your garage(车库) to get your bike and find a bear there. What would you do? People in some parts of Florida think about these situations a lot. They have been running into black bears more and more often. This is frightening and dangerous for both bears and people.

The number of cases of people and bears running into each other has gone up. In 1978, just one case was reported. In 2002, 1,340 cases were reported. These cases are called “conflicts”. Studies show that the number of conflicts in Florida is going up.

Some people think that human-bear conflicts are going up in Florida because there are more bears. Actually, it’s just the opposite. The number of bears is going down. In the early 1900s, there were about 12,000 black bears in Florida. Today, no one is really sure how many black bears are left. People think the number is from 1,500 to 3,000. So why are human-bear conflicts increasing so rapidly? There aren’t more bears, but there are more people.

There are many people who want to protect the Florida black bear. Here are some of the things that people in Florida are doing:

Teaching school children about the Florida black bear with a special program that includes a slide-show, games, and activities.

Choosing carefully where roads are built or widened so that wild animals will not be harmed by the traffic.

Holding a yearly festival for families with arts, food, and information on the bear.

1.What does the underlined word “conflicts” in the second paragraph mean?

A. Bears living in Florida in 2002.

B. Studies of black bears in Florida.

C. Fights between people and black bears.

D. Cases of people and bears running into each other.

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Black bears live in thick woods.
