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.
The software company seems to think girls would be more interested if()
选项
A.girls had an equal chance of playing games.
B.the software was more violent.
C.the software content was changed.
D.the character were funny.
答案
C
解析
细节题。题干:软件公司好像认为女孩将会更感兴趣如果____。利用software company 可以定位到第五段最后一句,意为“通过对女孩的了解发现,女孩不喜欢玩电脑游戏并不是因为它们太暴力、竞争性太强,而是内容问题”。故可推知软件公司似乎认为:如果他们改变了游戏软件的内容的话,女孩可能会对其更感兴趣的。所以C选顼“如果改变软件内容”是正确答案。
