Cuoco said the belief that you’ve got a math gene is "an American phenomenon." In the United States, he said, "kids from a very young age are put into two categories:
A. Most of the students are more capable of either mathematics or English.
B. The attitude toward language ability and mathematical ability is similar in all the countries around the world.
C. It is assumed that gender plays an important role in deciding one’s ability in either of the two aspects.
D. One can hardly be good at both of the two subjects.
