As we know once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls 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 number 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 are not so absorbed (专心的) in their study. Second, girls are more careful, more sensible (懂事的) than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that there are more women teachers than men teachers. The last one is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education. 66. What does the study say? A. Girls never went to school before. B. Boys do better than girls in college. C. The number of boys in college is much larger. D. More and more girls have studied in college. 67. What’s the proportion of girl students in 2000? A. 39.75%.

He thought he should help others. He was always busy looking for ways to help others. One day there was something bad in their town. They met many problems. John didn’t know what to do. But Joey always tried his best to solve all kinds of problems. He thought of some good ways and didn’t let the bad things affect (影响) the people in his town.

As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls 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 number 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 are not so absorbed (专心的) in their study. Second, girls are more careful, more sensible (懂事的) than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams. Another reason is that there are more women teachers than men teachers. The last one is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education. 66. What does the study say? A. Girls never went to school before. B. Boys do better than girls in college. C. The number of boys in college is much larger. D. More and more girls have studied in college. 67. What’s the proportion of girl students in 2000? A. 39.75%.
