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(比例) of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.75% of the college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the proportion was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
First, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That is to say, girls are almost as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study. Second, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.
The last one is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls' education.

Avril Ramona Lavigne is a Canadian singer song writer. She was born in Belleville, Ontariok, in 1984, but spent most of her youth in the small town of Napanee. She released her first album Complicated(《超复杂》) when she was only 17 years old.
Lavigne was only 15 when she was discovered. At that time she had no idea how to make an album. "A career just came early for me, I was trying to figure out this life," she said. "My friends still don't know if they want to be a teacher or a doctor."
Lavigne prefers to wear loose(宽松的) trousers, old Tshirts and a frown(皱眉). That's not like the tight clothes and sweet smiles of many pop stars. Lavigne knew that she would never be like Britney Spears. In her high school days, "I was only around guys," she said. "I hung out with guys, playing hockey and sometimes getting in fights.
