Computers and Girls
Summary:
This article shows that girls are not so active in technology as boys, because of the unlike personalities. For example , boys may do things directly; oppositely, girls usually think twice. In addition, boys like to play computer games to imagine that they become other roles, but girls don’t like. And these phenomena would lead to the new gender gap. However, the interval would be narrowed when girls' and boys' abilities get the same level someday.
Reflection:
For me, I am a typical girl. I just use computer to send e-mail, chat with my friends, do my homework, and so on. Thus, the other functions in computer are strange to me. Besides, it is a troublesome thing when I need to ask someone else to help me fix my computer, so I want to change me to be skilled in it. After all, I can't rely on others forever.

Just like the passage tells to us, girls and boys always act in dissimilar ways. Both they have advantage and weakness. Nevertheless, I think girls should brace up to try something different. Learning is necessary in this modern society, because more abilities we own, more opportunities we can catch. The traditional Chinese thought about female is not apply to now.
