问题    In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century: they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accept only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result, some women’s colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again.
   The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women’ s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a women * s college a higher percentage of students studied mathematics than in a college with both men and women.
   Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women’ s college, women feel free to say what they think. Women’ s schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere.
   For example, at a women’s college a woman holds every governing office. Recent studies reportedly show that this leadership continues after college. The studies show American women who went to women’ s colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.
Why were women’ s schools started?

选项 A、Women have more initiative in their own schools.
B、To separate men and women students.
C、To bring out women students’ full potentials.
D、At that time, women were not accepted by major colleges and universities.
