Sit down to read and the flywheel of workrelated thoughts keeps spinningor else you39。t seem sufficient. The web39。. But one specific plaint is made especially mournfully: There39。t go far enough. The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction, says biologist Jay Lininger.　　 major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____.　　[A]its drastically decreased population　　[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage　　[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists　　[D]the insistence of private landowners　　 threatened tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____.　　[A]was a givein to governmental pressure　　[B]would involve fewer agencies in action　　[C]granted less federal regulatory power　　[D]went against conservation policies　　 can be learned from Paragraph3 that unintentional harmdoers will not be prosecuted if they_____.　　[A]agree to pay a sum for pensation　　[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat　　[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job　　[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations　　 to Ashe, the leading role in managing the species in______.　　[A]the federal government　　[B]the wildlife agencies　　[C]the landowners　　[D]the states　　 Lininger would most likely support_______.　　[A]industry groups　　[B]the winwin rhetoric　　[C]environmental groups　　[D]the plan under challengeText 3　　That everyone39。s habitat.　　Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a rangewide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat .The fund will also be used to pensate landowners who set aside habitat , USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years .And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let states remain in the driver 39。t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the Ruby on Rails language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn how to think logically through a problem and organize the results apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.　　Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by putersin their pockets ,in their offices, in their homes for the rest of their lives, The younger they learn how puters think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that the better.　　 holds that early exposure to puter science makes it easier to _______　　[A] plete future job training　　[B] remodel the way of thinking　　[C] formulate logical hypotheses　　[D] perfect artwork production　　 delivering lessons for high schoolers , Flatiron has considered their________　　[A] experience　　[B] interest　　[C] career prospects　　[D] academic backgrounds　　 Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will ________　　[A] help students learn other puter languages　　[B] have to be upgraded when new technologies e　　[C] need improving when students look for jobs　　[D] enable students to make big quick money　　 to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to ______　　[A] bring forth innovative puter technologies　　[B] stay longer in the information technology industry　　[C] bee better prepared for the digitalized world　　[D] pete with a future army of programmers　　 word coax(Line4,) is closest in meaning to ________　　[A] persuade　　[B] frighten　　[C] misguide　　[D] challengeText 2　　Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickensa kind of bird living on stretching grasslandsonce lent red to the often grey landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species 39。s bee popular for adults looking for a career change. The highschoolers get the same curriculum, but we try to gear lessons toward things they39。s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses.
