Learning to Share原版英文小故事内容：
The seal population just south of Monterey, California, is making life difficult for the surfer population. There have been several incidents in the past month of surfers being bitten or attacked by seals. Scientists think it is merely a result of overcrowding. Over the past 10 years, the seals have made “their” beach bigger to suit their growing population.
The seal-loving activists1 say that the surfers should surf elsewhere. They say that the surfers are infringing2 on the seals’ territory and making them nervous and irritable3. Sometimes, when there are too many surfers, they actually cause the seals to leave the beach. This, the activists say, deprives nature lovers of the opportunity to enjoy watching and listening to the seals. The activists argue that this area should be off limits to surfers.
