Recently we had some reports about concerns over the progress of boys in the American education system. Some people say there is a crisis for boys. Others say there are problems for some boys. But they say the situation is not so much that boys axe falling behind as that girls are catching up with boys.
Today we examine changes that have taken place at the college level. Here there are similar issues. Some people are worried about the situation for men while others praise areas of progress for women.
In 1970s, women represented forty-two percent of college students in the United States. Now they are about fifty-six percent.
A recent report called "The Truth About Boys and Girls" included this information--but not as evidence of a crisis. Sara Mead, a policy analyst at the research group Education Sector, wrote the report. She sees the situation this way:
Yes, men are earning fewer four-year college degrees than women.’ But men are still earning more degrees than they have in the past, only at a slower growth rate than women.
And, yes, more women than men are also earning master’s degrees. But men still earn more doctorates. These are the degrees needed to become a doctor or a lawyer or a professor. In addition, men hold more positions of power and earn more money on average than women do.
There are many theories why males and females perform differently in their schooling. Some are based on recent brain research, but others center on environment. Some people say boys now face a hostile environment in American education.
Sara Mead does not take it as a crisis that men are earning fewer four-year college degrees than women because ______.
选项
答案
men ale still earning more degrees than before
解析
本文谈及Sara Mead的一个调查报告,认为虽然男性比女性获得的大学学位少,但他们仍比过去获得的多,只不过增长速度小于女性。
