You have probably heard of tomato throwing and the polar bear swim,but have you ever heard of the sport of cheese rolling?

Cheese rolling is an event that takes place every spring at Cooper's Hill,Gloucestershire(a county in England,west of London). People say that cheese rolling is one of Great Britain's oldest customs. Some say the custom started even before the Romans lived in that country 2000 years ago.Most say cheese rolling has been going on for at least a couple of centuries as a celebration of the onset (beginning)of summer.

Each year, thousands of spectators come to Cooper's Hill to watch people chase ( run after) a three kilogram round of Double Gloucester Cheese down the hillside. There are separate races for men and women, and uphill races for boys and girls too. The winners get to keep the rounds of cheese they have tried so hard to catch. However, no one ever catches the cheese because it runs fast down the slope(斜坡)at nearly 110 kilometers per hour !

It is funny to imagine people chasing a little wheel of cheese as it rolls down a hill, but maybe it is not so funny to see it because Cooper's Hill is very Steep(陡峭的).Every year, several of the cheese chasers tumble down the hill. Often, people have their bones broken, but this has not stopped the event from taking place.

Have you ever heard of spirit bears? They are endangered members of the black bear family. One in ten black bears is actually born with a spirit bear.

Clover, a three-year-old spirit bear, lives at B.C. Wildlife Park near Kamloops, British Columbias, Canada. He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center. When he was set free into the wild, he went into human camps looking for food. Wildlife experts tried to get him used to living on his own, but he continued to look for places where there were people. Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild. Since then, a total of $750000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.

The habitat covers about three acres(英亩) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else. It will add a platform(站台) and a walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more closely. There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears. Besides, a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.

Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode, who first studied them. Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene for the white fur. If a baby bear receive one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color.

There are about 1200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white spirit bears in the world. Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia. They live in the Great Bear Rainforest, an area that covers the mainland and island along the coast of B.C. between Vancouver and Alaska.
