Kids and teens can learn to build an app, program a robot, or explore the world of music production in beautiful classrooms surrounded by the Harvard University grounds. Especially, we stress our STEM courses that will also help students learn teamwork, create and solve problems.No matter what the program is, students will learn from our highly respected DMA instructors who have been employed for both their teaching experience and rich knowledge in their field.

Bingo!A mile into her walk, she spotted a beautiful female mute swan (疣鼻天鹅)near the water's edge. Cordova-Rojas, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan, knew that mute swans can be battle some. But as she approached this one, it didn't move. She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas placed her jacket over the bird's head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms. And then a thought struck her: What do I do now?Her best bet was the recovery center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, some strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. She worried others might be disturbed. However, on the subway, no one seemed particularly fazed by the feathered passenger. One guy, says Cordova-Rojas, was "sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don't know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him”.Cordova-Rojas called the recovery center, and Tristan Higgin-botham, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove bird, bike, and the rescuer to the facility. There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning.The staff got the swan back up on her feet. She even made a boyfriend at the center - another injured swan. Sadly, even with all that tender loving care, the swan fell ill with a bacterial infection. Two months after Cordova-Roias came to her rescue, she passed away.It's a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city-literally. In all, Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway (with her bike). "That's the perfect summary of who she is J says Higginbotham.24. How did Cordova-Rojas know the swan was in trouble?A. She noticed a scar on the swan.B , She found the swan trapped in water.C. The swan was behaving in an abnormal way.D. The swan attacked her when she came near it.25. What does the underlined word “fazed" in paragraph 3 mean?A. On top of the world.B. In the wrong.C. On the rocks.D. At a loss.26. How was the swan's life at the recovery center?A. The swan suffered a lot of pain there.B. The swan enjoyed its staying there.C. The swan's life there was totally disappointing.D. Many people came to visit the swan,27. What sort of person was Cordova-Rojas?A. Curious and generous.B. Caring and thoughtful.C. Energetic and independent.D. Sensible and straight-forward.CSome bees seem to be able to choose whether to become a worker or a queen - but thousands of competitors for the throne （王位）are killed in each hive （蜂巢）.About one-fifth of all Melipona beecheii bee larvae （幼虫）start to develop as queens, but the colony accepts only one. The rest are attacked by strong-jawed workers.Biologists suspected that colonies of this species overproduce queens as an evolutionary strategy to take over other hives. But it now seems that it is simply a result of the “selfishness“ of individual larvae, to the detriment of the whole colony, says Caliari Oliveira at KU Leuven in Belgium.Unlike most bee colonies where workers select one larva to become the only queen by feeding it a special diet, the M. beecheii colony is spending a lot of resources to produce new individuals, and then all they do afterwards is waste those resources and kill the queens. "This is a very good example of the tragedy of the commons, when a chase for personal gain harms society,“ says Caliari Oliveira.In the past, researchers suggested that M. beecheii workers were feeding a chemical called geraniol （香叶醇） to the future queens. Oliveira and his colleagues wondered if the bees chose so many queens in order to spread the colony's DNA into other hives.To investigate further, they took genetic samples of queens and workers from 25 free -ranging M. beecheii colonies. In the lab, they also gave higher doses of geraniol to more than 600 larvae. To their surprise, they discovered that extra geraniol didn't affect larval development, so workers weren't controlling queen production after all. Genetic analysis revealed that the DNA of each hive remained 100 per cent consistent.The new study "settles a bit of a controversy, about Melipona bees, says Christoph Grueter at the University of Bristol, UK. But it doesn't offer a new explanation fbr how the larvae “decide“ to become queens. "For me, this is still one of the biggest puzzles in biology.”28. What does the underlined phrase "to the detriment of' mean in Paragraph 3?A. Taking charge of.B. Falling victim to.C. Providing support for.D. Causing damage to.29. Why did the researchers feed extra geraniol to the larvae?A.To test their assumption.B.To simplify their research.C.To apply new techniques.D.To confirm previousfindings.30. What does Christoph Grueter think of the new study?A.It is fruitless.B.It is innovative.C.It is insufficient.D.It is satisfactory.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Some bee colonies adopt effective evolutionary strategies.B. Some bee colonies have to kill thousands of wannabe queens.C. Some bee species overproduce queens to conquer other hives.D. Some bee species rely on a chemical to spread the colony's DNA.DSome people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English?
