Cougar e
19、ncounters like this one are becoming increasingly commonin theU.S. Most peopleassume thats because cougar populations are growing. But Professor Robert Wielgus arguesthat poorlydesignedhunting policies might be causing an increase in cougar-human conflicts. Wielguss research teams have been observin
20、g the big cats movements. They find that the cougar population is actually falling rapidly and almost no male cougars are over four years of age. A study shows that the heavily hunted area has five times as many cougar complaints as the lightly hunted areaeven though th density of cougars is about t
21、he same in both areas. Wielgus doubts that hunting policies, which allow older males to be killed to keep cougar population in control, were the reasons and teenage cougars in the heavily hunted area may be responsible for most of the trouble. He finds that heavy hunting indeed almost wipes out olde
22、r males and the population structure in the heavily hunted area shifts toward younger animals. With these findings, Wielgus believes without adults to keep them under control, the disorderly teens are more likely to conflict with humans, farm animals and pets. Wielguss ideas dont sit well with every
23、one. “Hunting definitely does cause lots of teenage males to flow in, but 1 dont yet see solid proof that they are more likely to cause trouble than older cats,” says Robinson. “In many cases, the new arrivals have been squeezed out of remote wilderness habitat and forced into areas where they arc m

What might Robinson advise to reduce cougar attacks?A. Forbidding children
27、 to play in the dark night.B. Driving cougars into their natural habitat.C. Getting people to move out of the areas where cougars are.D. Changing hunting policies.C The 2016 China-Japan-South Korea Art Festival opened in Ningbo, a coastal city in Southeast Chinas Zhejiang province and one of the thr
28、ee 2016 Culture Cities of East Asia, on Scpt.28. Artists from the three countries tried their best to present their special folk culture that night. During the seven-day festival, all three countries will show their best performances, handwriting and photo exhibitions, foods and cultural attractions
