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.

After the exam
ination， the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital， no one said a word. One day， would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?
That September， I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children， I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page， I was tired easily. What’s worse， a
fter I had read several pages on my own， the words slipped off the page into inky pools.
However， then I 
did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead， Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time， cleaned the house， cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy， she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me， she looked like a teacher.
In my room， Mom’s voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening， I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question， I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight， reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage， my mind lit up with every new book.
True to what the doctor said， the worst came， but thanks to Mom， my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.
