According to a recent newspaper article, girls do better than boys at every level of education. So it is hardly surprising that women are now far more liely than men to go to universities. “Eclipsed” (黯然失色)
Mary Curnoc Coo, a leader of the University and College Admissions Service, is so worried about the future of boys that she wants to see a national effort to solve the issue. If this differential growth carries on uncheced, girls born this year will be 75% more liely to go to university than their male peers (同伴).
So what is at the root of this gap? Are there changes in the nature of universities which have led to the dominance of women on campus? Are girls simply better at schoolwor these days, and boys less interested?
By the time teenagers get to their high school, girls are already greatly outnumbering boys. So before they sit a single eam, there are probably more girls than boys who are liely to go to university. “Waste of time?”
The average grade for a girl is C+ compared to C for a boy at A-level eaminations. But the differences between boys and girls start much earlier on.
According to a University of Bristol study, boys are nearly twice as liely as girls to have fallen behind by the time they start school. Primary schools often have more female teachers, and mothers helping out.
According to the study, girls and boys often have different attitudes towards schoolwor. The report says”Boys are more liely than girls to regard school as a waste of time.” What’s more, boys tend to spend over one hour less per wee on homewor than girls. They are more liely to play computer games and less liely to read outside of school.
“There are a lot of boys thining they can get away with the least wor and wanting to spend their time doing other ‘more interesting things’,” says Roger Leighton, the former head teacher of Sydney Russell School. “Girls, on the other hand, tend to understand the need to wor hard earlier on --- they tae a longer view.”

According to a new study, putting preschoolers in bed by 8 P.M.
Could reduce their chances of becoming overweight or obese (肥胖) later in life by half. Preschoolers are children around the age of 4 or 5.
The researchers from Ohio State University wrote their findings in the Journal of Pediatrics. They have found that young children who go to bed after 9 P.M. are twice as liely to be obese later in life. The lead author of the study is Sarah Anderson. She says that it’s very important for parents to create a bedtime routine for their children.
How was the research conducted? Researchers chose 977 children for it. These children are part of a larger project called the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. The project follows healthy babies born in 1991 in ten U.S.cities. In order to have a clearer picture of the results, researchers then divided the children into three groups ? those who went to bed by 8 P.M. or earlier ? those who went to bed between 8 P.M. and 9 P.M. ? those whose bedtimes were after 9 P.M.
When these children turned 15 years old, the researchers looed at the results of the study. Of those with the earliest bedtimes, only one out of ten was obese. Of those who went to bed between 8 and 9 at night. 16 percent of the children became obese. And out of those with the latest bedtimes, 23 percent of the children became obese.
“Having a usual bedtime routine can lower children’s ris of becoming overweight. Besides, as usual, early bedtime is also liely to have positive effects on behavior and social development,” said Professor Anderson.
