①It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. ②Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.

①However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. ②When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers—but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. ③It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. ④Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. ⑤Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.

①Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or -determined students away.

①The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. ①The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,” said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. ③For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.

①The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. ②Programming 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. ③But 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.

①Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. ②But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. ③These kids are going to be surrounded by computers—in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes—for the rest of their lives. ④The younger they learn how computers 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.

①Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens—a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often grey landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. ②But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species’ historic range.

①The crash was a major reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) decided to formally list the bird as threatened. ②“The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation,” said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. ③Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. ④They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as “endangered,” a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. ⑤But Ashe and others argued that the “threatened” tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservation approaches. ⑥In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action, and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken’s habitat.

①Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowners or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range-wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. ②Negotiated 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. ③The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat. ④USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years. ⑤And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. ⑥Overall, the idea is to let “states” remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species,” Ashe said.

①Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric. ②Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court. ③Not surprisingly, industry groups and states generally argue it goes too far; environmentalists say it doesn’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.

26. The major reason for listing the lesser prairie chicken 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

27. The “threatened” tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____.

A. was a give-in to governmental pressure

B. would involve fewer agencies in action

C. granted less federal regulatory power

D. went against conservation policies

28. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____.

A. agree to pay a sum for compensation

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

29. According to Ashe, the leading role in managing the species is______.

A. the federal government

B. the wildlife agencies

C. the landowners

D. the states

30. Jay Lininger would most likely support_______.

A. industry groups

B. the win-win rhetoric

C. environmental groups

D. the plan under challenge
