He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center. When he was set free into the wild, he broke into human camps looking for food. Wildlife experts (专家) 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 $750，000 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 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 (基因) for white fur. If a baby bear receives one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color. There are about 1，200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white Kermode 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 islands along the coast of BC.between Vancouver and Alaska.1We can learn from Paragraph 1 that Clover _Alost his parents at the age of 3Bcould not find any foodCwas not afraid of humansDgrew up in the wild2The habitat built for Clover _Awill be open to visitorsBwill become a center for spirit bearsCwas created by Francis KermodeDwill prepare him for life in the wild3What will Clovers future life be like?ABusy.BEasy.
