问题     Women have long been more in number than men on college campuses. They also hold more advanced degrees than their male【C1】______. So it makes sense that women would also score higher on IQ tests. But for the last 100 years, they’ve lagged behind men by as much as five points—【C2】______their scores have been rising.
    Finally, according to IQ expert James Flynn, women have【C3】______ the IQ gap and are in fact scoring higher than men, reports the Telegraph.
    IQ, the most widely used measure of【C4】______and is determined based on the difference between one’s IQ score and the【C5】______IQ score of a certain age group. It’s thought to be a product of both environmental and【C6】______factors, and is a statistically reliable【C7】______of future educational achievement, job【C8】______and income. But the reasons for differences in IQ— for example, between races or genders—have long been widely【C9】______.
    There are many【C10】______reasons that women finally surpassed men in IQ after a century of【C11】______, according to Flynn, who is writing a book about IQ and gender.
    One【C12】______is that women have【C13】______been capable of scoring higher but, because of gender stereotypes, never realized their own【C14】______. Gender-based differences in education,【C15】______ and social roles have historically set the【C16】______lower for women.
    "This【C17】______ is more noticeable for women than for men【C18】______they were socially and economically【C19】______ in the past," Flynn told the Telegraph.
    Now if only women could close in on that annoying 【C20】______gap.
