Gender Gap
The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, "girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information."
After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.
An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow."
Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, "the number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're incredibly boring."
Purple Moon says it found what girls want -- characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, "What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (固有的) reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing."
The sponsor of the study says it all boils downto this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21 st century.
Girls often feel()
选项
A.bored with computer games.
B.comfortable using computers.
C.it hard to use computers in word processing.
D.worded about using computers.
答案
A
解析
细节题。题干:女孩经常感觉____。这个题也需要分别定位四个选项。A项可以到第四段最后两句,意为“女孩不喜欢电脑游戏的首要原因不是因为觉得太暴力,而是她们觉得电脑游戏太无聊”,所以A选项是正确答案。B选项可根据上题分析排除掉。C项可以定位到第一段最后一句,意为“女孩们使用计算机更多的是进行文字处理”,C选项“很难用电脑来进行文字处理”可排除。而D选项可以定位到文章第三段最后一句“whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow”,意为“女孩在使用计算机时老是担心会把它弄坏”,而D选项“女孩担心使用计算机”与原文信息不符。
