The members of Duke University’s computer programming team had solved only one problem in the world finals of the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The winning team, from Saratov State University in Russia, solved six puzzles over the course of the grueling five-hour contest. Afterward, Duke coach Owen Astrachan tried to cheer up his team by pointing out that they were among "the best of the best" student programmers in the world. Edwards, 20, still distraught, couldn’t resist a self-deprecating dig: "We’re the worst of the best of the best. "
For young Americans, a computing career isn’t the draw even a few years ago. Never mind that experienced programmers make upwards of $ 100, 000 and that the brainiest of them are the objects of heated bidding wars. Students fear that if they become programmers they’ll lose their jobs to counterparts in India and China. Analysts say those worries are overblown: Programmers with leadership and business skills will do just fine. But the message isn’t getting through. Then there’s the thrill factor, or lack thereof. Given the opportunity to make a mint on Wall Street or land a comfortable academic job, many math and science students are turning away from software. "I couldn’t really get excited about sitting in front of a computer and just writing programs," says Duke junior Brandon Levin, who has taken computer courses but is majoring in math and plans a career in academia.
What has caused fear for students who would be future programmers?
选项
A、Lacking in practical experience.
B、Being less competitive with their colleagues.
C、Poor awarding or payment.
D、Lacking in competent leadership and business skills.
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据最后一段第三句话:美国学生担心一旦成为编程员,他们会失业,因为他们在与印度和中国人争夺工作,其中隐含的意思是他们的数学和计算机水平比不上后者,缺乏竞争力。领导才能恰是他们的优势,故D选项错误。而A选项“经验”、C选项“收入”并不是他们主要关心的。故选B。
