pops into many of their minds is about the computer geek 怪人 surrounded by such things as computer games science fiction and junk food said Sapna Cheryan a university of Washington assistant professor of psychology and the study s lead author That stereotype doesn t appeal to many women who don t like the portrait of masculinity 男性化 Cheryan set up four experiments involving more than 250 female and male students who were not studying computer science to look at possible reasons why the proportion of women in the field is dropping while the proportion of women in such disciplines as biology mathematics and chemistry is increasing In the first experiment students entered a small classroom that either contained objects stereotypically associated with computer science such as Star Trek posters video game boxes and Coke cans or non stereotypical items such as nature posters art a dictionary and coffee cups The students were told to ignore these objects because the room was being shared with another class After spending several moments in the classroom the students filled out questionnaires 调查问卷 that asked about their attitude toward computer science Women exposed to the stereotypical setup expressed less interest in computer science than those who saw the non stereotypical objects Men placed 用心 爱心 专心4 in the same situations did not show a similar drop in interest in

through when they enter and live in a new culture This process which helps us to deal with culture shock is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another Culture begins with the honeymoon stage 1 We are thrilled to be in the new environment seeing new sights hearing new sounds and language eating new kinds of food 2 3 After we have settled down into our new life we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family friends pets All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture The third stage is called the adjustment stage 4 Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place Things are still difficult but you are now a survivor The fourth stage can be called at ease at last Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings 5 You may still have problems with the language but you know you are strong enough to deal with them A You can cope with most problems that occur B This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture C It is extremely difficult to get through the first stage of culture D You may feel sad anxious frustrated and want to go home E Unfortunately the second stage can be more difficult F This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure G This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting 1 2 3 4 5 课后能力测评 一 1
