看過這隻熊嗎? 美國人看到他就會想到預防意外性的人為森林火災。他的名字叫做煙燻小熊 (Smokey)，今天我們要來分享他的故事。1950年的某一天，一場野火在新墨西哥的卡畢丹山散佈開來。一隻小熊被看見在火線上，牠爬到一棵樹上避難，但其手腳嚴重地被燒傷。小熊之後被搶救下來並移往聖塔菲接受治療。關於小熊的新聞迅速在全國散播開來，許多人詢問小熊復原的情形。林務局決定讓小熊成為預防森林大火宣傳活動的象徵物 - 煙燻小熊。於是小熊立即被移到華盛頓的國家公園。在那裏，煙燻小熊獲得無數的蜂蜜禮物和信件，多到必須為牠成立一個專屬的郵遞區號。讓我們一起聽一首關於牠的歌吧：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5XkiQyxkLQ 在這段影片中提到預防森林火災的五大規則：

Have you seen this bear? His name is Smokey! Smokey works to inspire Americans to prevent wildfires. In 1950, a wildfire swept through New Mexico’s Capitan Mountains. A lone bear cub was spotted with his paws and hind legs badly burned. The cub escaped the fire by taking refuge in a nearby tree. After it was spotted, the cub was rescued and treated in Santa Fe. News about the cub spread nationwide. The public’s growing interest in the cub inspired the Forest Service to launch a conservation and wildfire prevention program with the cub being the living icon of Smokey Bear. The cub was soon moved to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. where Smokey received numerous gifts of honey and so many letters that he was given his own zip code.
