You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.

The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating (迁徙的)route, can be deadly for birds."We live in an age of glass," said Ms.Laurel, an architect.(76) "It can 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

cause 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 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 few 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 don' t necessarily have to treat every window," Ms.Laurel 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.

Today' s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations(革新) 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 Harvard and they were entering high school.Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.

The 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 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 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 are 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 entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration."I just don' t think that entrepreneurship ranks So high in terms of national need," says Daniel S.Greenberg, author of Science for sale: the perils, Re-wards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.

Leonard A.Schlesinger, BabSon College' s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is "an age-old argument".
