North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learnabout these animals.
In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, USA, catch bears and usedrugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear,take blood to test for diseases(疾病), remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. Fromthese studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long theylive, and how many babies they produce.
But in Minnesota, USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears knowthe researchers' voices and they are not afraid of die research team. With the help of a few grapesto keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at theirteeth, and do other jobs.Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives.

1.Write down all the reasons why you want to stop some behavior. Look at the reasons very often.
2.It’s clever to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily, for example, you can go out for a walk.
3.Decide what you’ll do to reward (奖励) yourself if you really get rid of your bad habits.
4.If you get too heavy, keep junk food out of your house.

In a classroom in any country, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches what is known as the “hidden course” ---the culture（文化）of that country.
In a society such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and think highly of individualism（个人主义）. Their education as a part of the society（社会）, also think of this greatly. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information; instead , they work alone and find answers by themselves. There is often a discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The importance is put on how to arrive at an answer and not simply to get the correct answer.
In most Asian countries, the people have the same languages, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there shows society’s ideas in group goals rather than individualism. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the teacher often teaches in a public way. He says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.
In many ways these differences come from different educational psychology（教育心理学）. In Western countries teachers make it easier for the students to learn for themselves. In the Eastern, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students, or the students can’t learn anything. What is the “hidden course” according to the passage?
What do American teachers do in class?
What do Asian teachers do in class?
What’s the main difference in education between the East and the West?
What do you think the proper title for the passage is?
