Question

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.

There are several reasons for this.

Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.

Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.

【解析】

试题分析：中国青年说，越来越多的女生进入大学学习在最近几年。正如我们所知，以前男孩的数量比女孩多和男孩比女孩做的好，在我国有很长一段时间。现在，事情已经发生了很大的变化。近年来，女生的比例正快速增长。在1998年，大约39.7%的大学生都是女生。在2000年，它是41.07%，在2001年，数字是42.14%。这有几个原因。首先，很少有男孩和女孩之间的差异在他们的智力。这是说，女孩和男孩一样聪明。男孩比女孩有更多的兴趣，所以他们可能不总是在他们的研究上专心。其次,女孩比男孩更细心。他们在学校更加努力，做得更好在所有考试。另一个原因是，随着社会的发展，人们越来越重视女子教育。
