During this time, many students have asked me how these studies have been conducted. So I'm going to spend this class period talking about how I am conducting my re search project. In this project, my research assistants and I trace the migration pattern of the grizzly bears by using computer technology.
I decided to research the grizzly bears because they are gradually disappearing around forests in the Yosemite area. One distinct characteristic of this bear is its hibernating spots, however, the grizzly bears are disappearing. We hope to discover why they are vanishing, so we can prevent them from becoming extinct.
My research assistants are helping me implant computer chips, no bigger than a small stone, on the bears. Why computer chips, you might ask？ Well, previous research projects used to imprint the bears with bits of marked wire. This process created an unusually large amount of work for the researchers because, in order to retrieve the information later, they had to find the bears. With computer chips, we can track the course of the grizzly bears without interfering in their travels.
We can do this by placing a series of wireless antennas along the possible routes of the bear. The implanted computer chips allow us to easily locate them because their location is transmitted whenever they pass the antennas. This allows us to monitor many bears and track their progress with less effort.
We already know that a species of the coyote may present problems for the bear. We are still unclear, though, on how the coyote may contribute to their decline. Hopefully, these computer chips will help us find the answer.
How do the speaker and his assistants trace the grizzly bear？

Why is Mr. Bloom late for his meeting？
Company benefits sounded like a "who's who" of worker-friendly programs. There was job security for life. You could leave work two hours early if you arrived two hours early. You could put children and elderly parents in IBM-paid care programs. You could go to graduate school full-time while still being paid. And there were no hourly workers. Everyone was considered important and mature, so everyone was paid a salary and didn't have to punch a time clock. The firm was one of the first to institute job enrichment programs; way before the term was even invented. Everything it did was aimed at making employees feel important. And for years IBM had a highly motivated work force.
But things have changed. IBM chairman John Akers told a startled group of management trainees that employees are "too damned comfortable at a time when the business is in crisis". He also said there are "too many people standing around the water cooler waiting to be told what to do".
Obviously, Akers thought shock therapy was in order, Between an economic recession and competition, IBM suffered a major drop m revenue in 1991. "What we need around here is a higher tension level," Akers said. So they're making some changes at IBM. The firm slashed about 17 000 jobs. And suddenly IBM wants its managers to encourage certain workers to leave the firm.
The whole situation is a dilemma for IBM. Policies such as no layoffs have done a lot to motivate workers and make them loyal. Yet in a highly competitive world it may be unwise to let employees feel too secure.
IBM was viewed by most workers as ______.
There would be many more organ donors if ______.
From this passage, we can conclude ______.
