Marijuana has been considered by some as a "gateway" drug that can lure young experimenters toward addiction to stronger drugs. In a similar though less insidious fashion, often the initial contact children have with computers lure them into the world of computers. However, many preadolescents and adolescents do not enjoy their initial experiences with these playful introductions to technology, and large numbers of those who are disenchanted are girls.
Girls usually 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 gap in technology. 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. 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.
Socialization in American culture is rife with messages about the gender appropriateness of computers from the media, parents and schools. While there are no signs at the doors to computer labs that say, "No girls allowed," barriers do exist that discourage girls from participating fully in technological advancements of the late 20th century, and many of them are, unfortunately, self-imposed. Girls observe the association between males and computers and decide they don’t belong. Computer labs themselves, with their stark walls isolating cubicles and distinct culture comprising its own vocabulary, humor and status system among members, can cause nonmembers of the culture to have negative initial encounters with computers that result in computer avoidance. Especially during their teen years, when girls are defining themselves and their place in society, the risk of venturing onto such unfriendly turf can seem too great.
By the time students are in high school,______.
选项
A、many girls use computers for problem solving rather than for pleasure
B、girls usually get lower results in computer courses
C、tend to use computers more in the class than out of the class
D、many girls have lost interest in computers
答案
D
解析
属信息归纳题。第二段谈到,到了上中学的年龄,女孩使用电脑更多的是处理文字,而不是解决问题或探索理解信息的新途径,而且电脑班只有一小部分是女生使用电脑也不如男生频繁。这说明女生对电脑失去了兴趣。
