14、troductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellons School of Computer Science. However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that its not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers - but a tool to buil

Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people

Students 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.

19、e 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 Flat

But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species historic range. The crash was a major reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USF
26、WS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened .The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation , said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as endangered, a status that gives federal officials grea

In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governm

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
29、 they had signed a range-wide 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 .
30、The fund will also be used to compensate 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
31、state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let states remain in the driver s seat for managing the species, Ashe said. Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric. Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three
32、 environmental groups are challenging it in federal court. Not surprisingly, doesnt 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 p

But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully: Theres never any time to read. What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management te
37、chniques dont seem sufficient. The webs full of articles offering tips on making time to read: Give up TV or Carry a book with you at all times. But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesnt work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinni
38、ng-or else youre so exhausted that a challenging books the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, is overwhelmingly inclined toward communicationIt is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption. Deep reading requir
39、es not just time, but a special kind of time which cant be obtained merely by becoming more efficient. In fact, becoming more efficient is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far a

42、e will have wasted them. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book. So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. Youd think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us step outside times flow
43、 into soul time. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. Carry a book with you at all times can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if youre making time to read, but just reading, and making time for everything else. 31. The usual t
