　　The men who race the cars are generally small, with a tight, nervous look．They range from the early 20s to the middle 40s, and it is usually their nerves that go first．

　　Fear is the driver's constant companion, and tragedy can be just a step behind．Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes．The mark of the plastic surgeon is everywhere, and burned skin is common．Sometimes a driver's scars are invisible, part of his heritage．Two young drivers, Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen, raced in their first 500 in 1968．Less than 20 years before, their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track-and died there．

　　All this the drivers accept．Over the years, they have learned to trust their own techniques, reflexes, and courage．They depend, too, on a trusted servant－scientific engineering．Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling(an exception is New Zealand's Bruce McLaren, who has an engineering degree), many drivers are gifted mechanics, with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship．

　　A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy, with six-figure incomes from prize money, endorsements, and jobs with auto-product manufacturers．Some have businesses of their own．McLaren designs racing chassis(底盘)．Dan Gurney's California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500, including his own second place car．

　　Yet money is not the only reason why men race cars．Perhaps it isn't even the major reason．Three-time Indy winner(1961, 1964, 1967)A．J．Foyt, for example, can frequently be found competing on dirty tracks in minor-league races, where money, crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is not．Why does he do it? Sometimes Foyt answers, "It's in my blood．" Other times he says, "It's good practice．" Now and then he replies, "Don't ask dumb questions．"

(1)

The statement "it is usually their nerves that go first" means ________．
[　　]
A．	at first they all have a nervous look
B．	they often find they can't bear the tension even if they are in good condition
C．	someday they find they can't make responses to any risk
D．	they can continue their career at most until the middle 40s

(2)

It can be inferred that a car accident is often coupled with ________．
[　　]
A．	a plastic surgeon
B．	a companion
C．	a risk
D．	a fire

(3)

The invisible scars of the drivers mentioned in the second paragraph refers to ________．
[　　]
A．	the regrets left by their fathers
B．	the fears left by their fathers
C．	the cars left by their fathers
D．	the heritage left by their fathers

(4)

Bruce McLaren is different from most of the drivers in that ________．
[　　]
A．	he himself designs chassis
B．	he has an engineering degree
C．	he manufactures chassis
D．	he is a gifted mechanic

(5)

A．J．Foyt often takes part in minor-league races for ________．
[　　]
A．	prize money
B．	blood test
C．	cheers from the crowd
D．	Enjoyment

　　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(受害者)of what the researchers call a major new gender(性别)gap in technology．Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women(AAUW)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 AAUW researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes．Girls 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 difference．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 with the company 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 unbelievably boring．”What girls want, Purple Moon found, is characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives．“What we definitely found from girls is(that there is no intrinsic)(内在的)reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing,”says Karen Gould．

　　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．

(1)

According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because ________,
[　　]
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

(2)

Girls often feel ________．
[　　]
A．	bored with computer games
B．	comfortable using computers
C．	it hard to use computers in word processing
D．	worried about using computers

(3)

The research on girls and computers is ________．
[　　]
A．	based on a few recent studies
B．	based on a great number of studies
C．	presented by one person
D．	not considered well grounded

(4)

The software company seems to think ________．
[　　]
A．	if girls had an equal chance to play games, they would like computers
B．	if the software content was changed, girls would be more interested
C．	if the software was more violent, girls would like it better
D．	if the characters were funny, girls would like them better

(5)

The gender gap needs to be closed because ________．
[　　]
A．	it isn't fair that boys are allowed to use computers all the time
B．	there isn't enough money for updating computer system
C．	most of the causes may boil down to a question of money
D．	the ability to use computers is important in today's world
