[FONT=&quot]2nd passage [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]
Bears spend much of their time looking for food , and they are not choosy , gorging on insects , berries , nuts, small mammals, ham sandwiches , and garbage with equal relish . Despite this , the chief natural factor limitting a bear population is the food supply . Dr. Lynn Rogers has found that , contrary to popular belief , so - called garbage bears - those that visit town dumps or campsites - do not lose their ability to forage successfully for wild foods but are simply supplementing their diets with easy pickings . In fact , these enterprising bears grow faster , mature sooner , and reproduce earlier than those that depend only on wild foraging . Rogers has also found that dump -fed bears are the strongest and largest in the population . He and his crew once captured a male bear that weighed 611 pounds .
But easy living for the bears carries a price : those that stalk garbage dumps are easier targets for hunters and those that visit camps may terrify - if not injure - visitors . Some state wildlife agencies capture " nuisance " bears that have become too chummy with people and cart them off to less populated parts of the forest . The removal programs do not always work ; bears release 100 miles or more from their place of capture have reappeared in their old haunts .[/FONT]

A. Some would rather eat wild foods than garbage .
B. They devote a lot of time to searching for food
C. Some do not fear campers and approach campsites readily
D. They lose their foraging ability after feeding at garbage dumps.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]36.Which of the following is not true of bears that feed at garbage dumps and campsites ?
A. They grow at a relatively slower rate
B. They can be easily shot
C. They reproduce at an early age
D. They are sometimes relocated[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]37.It can be concluded from the passage that garbage bears are the strongest of the bears population because ____
A. Their natural predators are not found near garbage dumps
B. They can get more food by combining wild food and food from dumps
C. They have been known to travel distances of 100 miles or more
D. They get a lot of exercise climbing in and out of garbage cans[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]38. The word " those " used in lines 9 and 10 refers to __
A. vistors
B. dumps
C. hunters
D. bears[/FONT]
