问题         In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn’t it often the same in schools of our real world? A great many boys fall behind their female classmates.
        " It’s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since the primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams," said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school’ s sports club and a winner in many competitions.
        But why do so many girls outperform their male peers?
        In Sun Yunxiao’s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is " more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read". Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honours, top universities and good jobs. They can feel great pressure nearly every day.
        This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.
        "Let’s look at what we ask our teenage girls for," says an American professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks that it’s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and becomes a caring friend. Girls see images of impossible perfection on TV, on the Internet, and everywhere. Today’s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they’re also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars. "Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect." Stephen Hinshaw sums up.
According to the passage, it is true that______________.

选项 A、boys are less smart than girls throughout school life
B、boys usually don’t have so much pressure as girls do
C、girls are all fond of the Chinese education system
D、girls are better at school because boys don’t work hard

答案B

解析 根据第四段第二句“…girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honours…”可知,在与男生竞争荣誉、名牌大学和好工作时,女生通常需要付出更多的努力。由此可推知,男生承受的压力没有女生承受的压力大,所以B项符合题意。文中并未提及A项和C项;D项与文章内容不符。故选B。
