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 down to 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 21st century.
选项
A、they can not discover new ways to use computers
B、they have the same access to computers as boys
C、they are likely to be less comfortable with computers
D、they can only use computers for word processing
答案
C
解析
本题为细节题。答案在第一段。由“…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."和“Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer.”可知C为正确选项。A和D为具体细节,是针对这一原因的进一步说明。而根据文章第一句“The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto,California,all have the same access to computers as boys.”可知是在六年级的时候女孩和男孩在计算机方面机会相同,而到高中以后就不是这样了,故B也可排除。
