(76) “It can
2、be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.“ About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading c
3、ause of death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard
4、 for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this fall as part of its environmental certification process.There are no easy fixes, however. A fe
5、w researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and net are the main options available.Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. “You dont necessarily have to treat every window,“ Ms. La
6、urel said. “It would be too expensive to do the whole building.“ The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.（分数：10.00）(1).What

D. R., and they live in a world where amazing
11、innovations (革淅) are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.The
12、 easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation
13、 on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses-up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business
14、 schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is the programs,“ she says. “We need to spread out from the business school.“Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors ar
15、e coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.(78) The entre
16、preneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. “I just dont think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need,“ says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for Sale: the perils, Rewards and Delusions of Cam
17、pus Capitalism.Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson Colleges president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is “an age-old argument“.（分数：10.00）(1).When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still _.（分数：2.00）A.in high schoolB.in the armyC.in primary schoolD.a

So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the
22、typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern University, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their
23、most notable regret. Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didnt do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)-lost loves or unfulfilled relationshi
24、ps. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Rose and Morrisons study, which is to be published in Social
25、 Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-foc
26、used regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a persons “life circumstances-accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life- inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret,“ the authors write.(79) People with less edu
27、cation, for instance were more likely to report education regret. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love. Broken down (分解，细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and famil
28、y-not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men,“ the authors write. In contrast, men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing theyd chosen a different career path, for instance, or followed their passion. (80) Many participants also re
29、ported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (do something you wish you didnt). But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others t
30、o persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.（分数：10.00）(1).In the second paragraph, the author shows _.（分数：2.00）A.the researchers findingsB.the importance of familyC.the importance of moneyD.the importance of career
31、(2).According to the passage, college student participants mainly had regrets about their _.（分数：2.00）A.family and childhoodB.study and majorC.career and jobD.romance and fear(3).The word “notable“ in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _.（分数：2.00）A.commonB.capableC.wonderfulD.remarkable(4).
